This knife is to ensure effective work for people under the greatest pressure, the pressure to save human life, when every second decides about life or death.

Blade - about Assist profile, 3 mm thickness, made of Japanese VG-10 stainless steel (high resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage), hardened in the range of 59-61 HRC. The blade has a blunt oval tip that protects the person rescued during the rescue operation against injury. The wavy pattern on the back of the blade and handles allows the knife to be placed in the half-open position and used as a cutting shears. Satin Finish coating (semi-matt) eliminates glares. Blade blockade: Back-Lock type with additional protection against accidental release of the lock (cutout in the lock) of David Boye's design.

SpyderHole - above the enlarged 14 mm round notch (Spyderco patent) rises Cobra Hood which puts the thumb directly above the hole allowing quick opening of the knife also in a glove. Cobra Hood also increases the thumb support hump (notched ramp).

Combination Edge - (partially serrated) often used in tactical, rescue and survival knives. The unique Spyderco blade consists of one large and two small teeth called. „two-step”. This pattern increases the cutting edge length by up to 24% compared to a straight blade. The blade - Combination type was made with a concave cut (Hollow Grind). 80% of it is a serrated Spyder blade for aggressive cutting of hard materials, plastics and fibrous materials, including ropes, belts and 20% (1 inch) classic, smooth blade (Plain type), used for precise cutting, e.g. cutting clothes.

Handle - in black color. Made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), a fiberglass-reinforced nylon, it has a bi-directional non-slip lining texture (Bi-Directional Texturing) ensuring excellent glove grip as well as greasy, dirty or wet hands. The knife is equipped with a screwed wire clip (left / right) that allows you to move the knife in the tip-up position. At the end of the handle there is a tungsten carbide glass breaker which, after firmly squeezing the handle, slides out ready for use. With its help, we can quickly break any reinforced car window. A signal whistle is built into the side of the handle.
