Spyderco's Rescue sheepfoot blade is flat saber-ground VG-10. The blue C14 is fully serrated with 1-inch of PlainEdge at the tip for detailed cutting and wire stripping. By removing a crescent-shaped portion from the blade's spine creates a positioning spot for the index finger. This offers two unique functions: you can place your index fingertip in the spine's crescent and closely control the blade's tip or blanket the entire index finger along the spine (fingertip into the crescent) and slide the back of your hand under clothing allowing your hand to be the cutting guide and in contact with flesh rather than the sharpened blade. The Spyderco Trademark Round Hole is enlarged to 14mm resulting in an enlarged hump that boosts ergonomics, strengthens the blade and lessens fatigue during long term/repetitive cutting. Spine texturing, a deep choil and volcano grip keep the knife from slipping in the hand. FRN handle comes equipped with an ambidextrous tip-up carrying clip.
