Product details

Spyderco's Assist knife lives up to its name by being a dependable tool for emergency, fire, and rescue professionals, as well as prepared civilians. Crafted with twenty-five years of experience in making rescue knives, the Assist model showcases high-tech features that ensure flawless performance under pressure. The VG-10 patented blunt-tipped blade features an 80% SpyderEdged surface for aggressively cutting seat belts and fibrous materials, while the last inch of PlainEdge excels at detailed tasks like sharpening pencils. A standout feature of the Assist is the Cobra Hood, which positions your thumb directly over the Round Hole for swift blade deployment and acts as a leveraging platform. The blade's unique wavy pattern, designed by a Swedish firefighter, and the matching contours inside the handle allow you to cut rope effortlessly by scissoring the blade without fully opening it, reducing the risk of accidental injury. The FRN handle is ergonomically molded with bi-directional textured contours to fit snugly in your palm. In the closed position, squeezing the blade deeper into the handle reveals a retractable carbide tip for breaking glass, making this knife invaluable in emergencies. Additionally, a survival whistle outlined in safety orange is embedded into the handle's spine, providing an extra layer of safety in critical situations. The knife is designed for ambidextrous use, with a tension wire clip for left or right-handed, tip-up carry. Spyderco's innovation and dedication to quality are evident in every aspect of the Assist. The knife features an overall length of 8.375 inches when open and 4.875 inches when closed, with a 3.7-inch VG-10 steel blade and a 3.2-inch cutting edge. Weighing just four ounces, it is both robust and lightweight. Spyderco's commitment to excellence is backed by a limited manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This assurance, along with the company’s rigorous product testing, ensures that you can rely on their knives in any scenario. Experience the unmatched reliability and functionality of the Spyderco Assist – a testament to the company's forward-thinking approach and dedication to quality.
