When life-or-death emergency scenarios demand immediate action, the Spyderco Assist Folding Rescue Knife delivers uncompromising speed, safety, and versatility. Purpose-built for first responders and prepared civilians, this specialized rescue tool packs serious capability into a lightweight, 4.1-ounce package.
At its core is a 3.68-inch VG-10 stainless steel SpyderEdge blade featuring a safety sheepsfoot profile. The blunt, rounded tip slides safely under seatbelts, thick clothing, and webbing without puncture risks to victims or flotation equipment. An oversized Trademark Round Hole with a Cobra Hood attachment ensures lightning-fast, one-handed deployment—even when wearing heavy gloves—while a solid back lock keeps the blade locked open during heavy use.
The high-strength fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle features Bi-Directional Texturing and deep finger grooves, ensuring an immovable grip in wet conditions while enabling a scissor-like pinching action for slicing tough rope. Built directly into the handle is a high-pitched survival whistle for signaling, alongside a clever retractable carbide glass breaker that deploys simply by squeezing the closed knife in your palm.
Complete with a non-reflective black finish and an ambidextrous wire clip for quick tip-up carry, the Assist is ready for emergency response. Don't compromise on life-saving gear when you can trust proven Spyderco engineering.
