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 is left as a 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.
