Product Description
The Spyderco Assist C79PSOR is a high-tech survival masterpiece engineered specifically for fire, rescue, and emergency professionals. This specialized tool features a VG-10 stainless steel blunt-tipped blade with a unique combination edge: 80% aggressive SpyderEdge for slicing through seatbelts and 20% plain edge at the tip for precision work. The high-visibility Orange FRN handle is a multi-functional marvel, housing a retractable carbide glass breaker that emerges when the closed blade is squeezed, along with a built-in survival whistle on the spine. Designed for extreme conditions, the Assist includes a "Cobra Hood" for rapid deployment and a specialized wavy blade spine that allows for safe "scissoring" of rope without fully exposing the edge—making it the ultimate mission-critical folder for life-saving operations.
