Designed for emergency/fire/rescue professionals who rely on their knives to function flawlessly under
pressure, the Assist features a patented VG-10 blunt-tipped blade, with a toothy 80% SpyderEdge
for aggressively cutting seatbelts and fibrous material. The last inch of the tip is PlainEdge for
detailed cutting. The Cobra Hood positions the thumb directly over the hole for quick blade
deployment, and then doubles as a leveraging platform for the thumb. The wavy pattern cut from
the top of the blade and along the inside of the handle lets you place a piece of rope (between
the half-open blade and handle) and scissor the blade shut. This is especially convenient for
cutting rope in and around flesh without having to fully open/expose the knife’s blade. In the
closed position, squeeze the blade deeper into the handle and a retractable carbide tip protrudes from the base for breaking glass. Outlined in safety
orange on the handle’s spine is a shrill and attention-pitched survival whistle. Carries left-/right-handed, tip-up by means of a tension wire clip.
