{"product_id":"assist-lightweight","title":"Assist Lightweight","description":"Spyderco named this knife after its principal job function, to Assist. The Assist was designed for emergency\/fire\/rescue professionals (and for the well-equipped civilian) who rely on their knives to function flawlessly under pressure. Even with twenty-five years experience in making rescue knives, Spyderco is still offering new high-tech features and the Assist model showcases the latest and greatest in this knife genre. The VG-10 patented blunt-tipped blade is a toothy eighty-percent SpyderEdged for aggressively cutting seatbelts and fibrous material. The last inch of the tip we've left PlainEdge for detailed cutting (think sharpening pencils). Perched above the Round Hole, a Cobra Hood positions the thumb directly over the hole for quick blade deployment, then doubles as a leveraging platform for the thumb. The wavy pattern cut from the top of the blade (created by a fireman from Sweden) and along the inside of the handle let you place a piece of rope (between the half-open blade and handle) and scissor the blade shut- especially convenient for cutting rope in-and-around flesh without having to fully open\/expose the knife's blade. The FRN handle is a molded wonder of Bi-Directional textured contours and bulges that ergonomically wrap around your palm. In the closed position, squeeze the blade deeper into the handle and a retractable carbide tip protrudes out from the base for breaking glass. Outlined in safety orange on the handle's spine is a shrill and attention-pitched survival whistle. Carries left\/right handed, tip-up by means of a tension wire clip.","brand":"Spyderco","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":46279845314699,"sku":"SPY-C79PSBBK","price":147.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":46279845347467,"sku":"SPY-C79PSYL","price":151.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":46279845380235,"sku":"SPY-C79PSOR","price":135.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/8581\/8251\/files\/297102107.png?v=1777018014","url":"https:\/\/taktactical.com\/products\/assist-lightweight","provider":"Taktactical.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
