When seconds count in emergency situations, Spyderco’s purpose-built Assist knife delivers multiple rescue features in a compact, reliable package designed for first responders and prepared outdoor enthusiasts.

Spyderco’s Assist is a purpose-designed folding knife engineered to meet the demanding needs of fire, rescue, emergency response professionals as well as prepared citizens in extreme conditions. This specialized tool combines multiple life-saving features into one compact, highly functional design.

The Assist showcases a blade crafted from VG-10 stainless steel—an advanced Japanese alloy known for its superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance.

Its hollow-ground blade integrates a high-utility CombinationEdge—pairing a sheepfoot blunt PlainEdge tip for safety and a partially serrated section using our SpyderEdge pattern for aggressive cutting.

The result is a blade optimized for slicing through rope, webbing, seatbelts, and other challenging materials. An oversized Trademark Round Hole and Cobra Hood ensure swift, ambidextrous one-handed deployment, even while gloved.

To enhance user control and safety, the Assist features a distinctive spine with finger grooves allowing pressure-assisted cutting or “scissor cut” functionality. Its ergonomic high- visibility orange FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) handle incorporates Bi-Directional Texturing for a secure grip and houses a reliable back lock mechanism.

The handle also includes a retractable carbide glass breaker that is deployed when the blade is closed and the handle is firmly squeezed.

Additional features include a built-in emergency whistle and a reversible wire pocket clip that supports left or right-side tip-up carry. Compact, rugged, and feature-rich, the Assist is an indispensable companion for first responders and safety-conscious professionals alike.
