Snake River Rescue

The Snake River Rescue is a high-performance dive and rescue knife built for demanding underwater and field conditions. Unlike many traditional dive knives designed only for emergencies, this model was engineered to function as a serious cutting tool first — reliable, durable, and ready the moment it leaves the sheath.

Created as part of the Employee Design Challenge and designed by Jon Garcia, the Snake River Rescue has been tested by rescue professionals operating in dark, dangerous water environments. It is ideal for diving, rescue work, boating, and heavy-duty outdoor use in wet or saltwater conditions.

Its N690Co cobalt vanadium steel blade with black traction coating delivers excellent corrosion resistance, toughness, and dependable edge retention. The dual-edge geometry combines a standard cutting edge with a serrated spine for slicing through rope, nets, fishing line, and stubborn materials.

The thick contoured yellow and black G10 handle ensures secure grip and control even while wearing gloves or operating underwater. The high-visibility handle color also makes the knife easier to spot if dropped. An extended metal pommel doubles as a practical tank tapper for underwater communication.

The knife includes a durable black Kydex sheath with Kydex belt loop for secure carry and quick deployment.
