SPYDERCO 79PS ASSIST I BLACK FRN

The Assist is a lightweight folder made for emergency and fire/rescue professionals as well as the everday well-equipped citizen who rely on knives to be straightforward in use and provide flawless performance. Above the one-hand open hold sits a feature called a Cobra Hood. This is a metal cap that positions the thumb over the hole for quick opening and doubles as a textured leverlaging platform for your thumb during cutting.

A wavy pattern cut out of the top of the blade and again along the handle is there for controlled rope cutting. Place a rope in the groove (between the partially open blade and the handle) and squeeze the blade shut, slicing the rope in a controlled manner without an exposed cutting edge.

The Bi-Directionally texture (FRN)handle has a survival whistle built into the butt end that is shrill and high pitched enough to be heard great distances. A reinforced wire pocket clip screws onto either side for both left and right handers.

The carbide breaker is exposed when the closed knife is squeezed and retracts back in when pressure is released, keeping it out of the way until needed. This version features a snub nosed blade.
