We Named This Knife After Its Principal Job Function, To Assist. The Spyderco Assist Black Blade Is A Lightweight Folder For Emergency Fire/Rescue Professionals And The Well-Equipped Citizen Who Rely On Knives To Be Straightforward In Use And Perform Flawlessly.

Most Of Its 3-3/8″ (86Mm) Cutting Edge Is Serrated With The Last Inch At The Tip Left Plainedged.

Above The One-Hand-Open Hole Sits A Feature Called A Cobra Hood™. It’S A Metal Cap That Guides The Thumb Over The Hole For Quick, By-Feel Opening Then Doubles As A Textured Leveraging Platform For Your Thumb During Cutting. A Wavy Pattern Cut Out Of The Top Of The Blade And Again Along The Handle Is For Controlled Rope Cutting. By Placing A Rope In The Groove (Between The Partially Open Blade And Handle) You Can Squeeze The Blade Shut, Slicing And Trimming Rope In A Controlled Movement Without Fully Exposing The Cutting Edge.
