The Assist II, Spyderco named this knife after its principal job function, to Assist. Assist is a lightweight folder made for emergency and fire/rescue professionals as well as the everyday well-equipped citizen who all rely on knives to be straightforward in use and provide flawless performance. Loaded with teeth, eighty-percent of the 3-3/8" (86mm) cutting edge is serrated with the last inch at the tip PlainEdge. Above the one-hand-open hole 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 leveraging 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 rope in a controlled manner without an exposed cutting edge. The handle is lightweight black FRN with a survival whistle built in to the butt end. The whistle 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. Specs: Blade Steel VG-10 Blade Thickness 1/8" 3mm Clip Heavy-duty wire clip Diam.
