The ergonomic handle profile of the Rescue 3 will be familiar to any fans of the Paramilitary 2 platform while the sheepsfoot blade offers exceptional cutting power with the added safety of a rounded tip required by emergency first responders and rescue workers. The high performance full flat grind paired with a full SpyderEdge serrated cutting edge give the Rescue 3 the advantage against rope, webbing and other tough materials when the seconds count.
This "Thin Red Line" edition honors the selfless and courageous service of firefighters and emergency first responders symbolized by red liners and back spacer along with the laser engraved motto "Save and Serve" on the blade. It comes with a flat ground, satin VG-10, fully serrated blade and black FRN scales.
Brand new, direct from Spyderco Knives, Japan.
Blade: With added safety and powerful cutting performance, the 3 mm thick sheepsfoot blade has a rounded tip and high performance full flat grind. Over three inches of full SpyderEdge serrations increase the cutting edge surface by up to 24% and make short work of tough, fibrous materials while the jimped 50/50 choil and thumb ramp allow for optimal control and added safety. A rugged bronze washer pivot provides smooth operation via the ambidextrous RoundHole which delivers easy one hand operation.
Handle: Black Bi-directional textured FRN provides exceptional traction in all conditions with comfortably contoured edges and an ergonomic design with forward guard, palm swell and pinky hook for optimal security in heavy use. Bright red liners and spacer offer a subtle contrast while the sturdy mid-back lock delivers secure operation further enhanced by the Boye Dent on the lock bar which prevents accidental disengagement of the lock when gripping with heavy pressure. A hole at the pommel end allows for easy lanyard attachment.
Carries via a 4-position, stainless steel hourglass pocket clip.
Japanese VG10: VG-10 is a high-carbon stainless steel that takes a very good edge and holds it well. Popular with Japanese kitchen knife makers it is often hardened to 60-61 HRC. A popular choice for small pocket knives thanks to good edge holding and stain resistance, VG10 works well with a high polished, acute edge for optimal slicing performance.
