Rescue 79mm, FRN Handle

Since starting Spyderco, the company has been told their knives are different, peculiar- even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed Spyderco to introduce new and radical innovations to the knife culture including: one-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket. Spyderco didn't go into business to rake in a mountain of dough, they're here for more selfish reasons--indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in their dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials- all with function and reliability being key.

Reasons we offer smaller knives are numerous but essentially people's hands come in different sizes and we occasionally find ourselves in social situations that dictate use of a smaller blade. Many think smaller versions of the same model are simply shrunk down. Not so. For every design to reach its utmost level of ergonomic comfort and maximum performance we often take features and engineer/rework them into a more diminutive pattern. An example is our 79 mm version of the Rescue Model.

A smaller equivalent of the C14 93 mm Rescue, it too has a flat saber-ground, SpyderEdge, VG-10 blade that ends in a sheepfoot safety tip. For smoother thumb rotation we enlarged the Spyderco Trademark Round Hole, which in turn creates a prominent hump to position the thumb on while cutting. The FRN waffle textured handle is available in indigo blue, black and safety orange with an ambidextrous, tip-up pocket clip.
