Cutting during emergency situations requires that Save and Serve Professionals have a readily accessible knife and are able to quickly and safely cut around people in hectic surroundings. Performance, ergonomics and comfortable use are all key elements needed in a rescue knife.

Spyderco's Rescue knives are long favored by seafarers and the design has since been embraced by rescue workers, EMT's and ranchers-anyone cutting around flesh in an emergency. Spyderco's Rescue sheepfoot blade is flat saber-ground VG-10. 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.
