The Spyderco Assist Rescue Knife is purpose-built to tackle any emergency situation with ease. Its VG-10 patented blunt-tipped blade is specially designed for cutting seatbelts and fibrous materials, making it a vital tool for rescue scenarios. The toothy eighty-percent SpyderEdged blade ensures aggressive cutting power, while the PlainEdge tip allows for precise cutting tasks.
Featuring the innovative Cobra Hood, this knife enables quick and effortless blade deployment for immediate action. But that's not all - the Cobra Hood doubles as a leveraging platform, giving you enhanced control over your cuts. Plus, the wavy pattern on the blade and handle lets you securely hold and cut ropes without fully exposing the blade, offering safety and convenience.
Crafted with the user in mind, the FRN handle boasts Bi-Directional textured contours and bulges that fit ergonomically in your hand. Its rugged design ensures a confident grip even in wet and challenging conditions.
When closed, the blade easily retracts into the handle, revealing a retractable carbide glass breaker tip that can shatter windows with ease. For added safety, the handle is equipped with a shrill survival whistle, ensuring you're heard in emergency situations.
The Spyderco Assist Rescue Knife comes with a reversible wire pocket clip, allowing for convenient carry options and making it suitable for left and right-handed users. With a closed length of 4 7/8" and an overall length of 8 3/8", this knife is compact yet powerful. Weighing just 4 ounces, it won't weigh you down while ensuring you're always prepared.

Quick! List the most respected and innovative knife companies you can think of. If you know anything about knives, Spyderco is somewhere near the top. Spyderco Inc. makes some of the most unique and downright bizarre knife designs you'll see on the market, but from the number of passionate fans discussing, debating, and learning everything they can about Spyderco knives, it's clear that the company has done something right.
From the Glesser Family and the Spyderco Crew:
Since starting Spyderco we've been told our knives are different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed us to introduce new and radical innovations to the knife culture including: One-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket.
We didn't go into business to rake in a mountain of dough we're here for more selfish reasons- indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in our dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being key.
Someone once said to Sal Glesser, Spyderco's owner, 'You must design in the dark because your knives look so strange.' True again. Our recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we'll never be called unusable or undependable.
Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing. In our million-dollar testing facility we examine edge retention with a CATRA machine, look for rust development with Q-FOG, check the force needed to open and close a knife. We also repeatedly test for stress, wear, optimal heat-treating and actively search for higher quality, performance enhancing steels and materials.
As a customer you probably don't think about this, or much care, but it allows us to put forth a promise. When you purchase a Spyderco you are buying a high-quality reliable cutting tool designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort. Those Who Know Carry Spyderco.
