The Assist Salt combines the versatile functionality of the Assist model with the unparalleled corrosion resistance of H-2 steel, setting a new standard in rescue tools. Its standout feature is the H-2 steel blade and lock bar, utilizing nitrogen instead of carbon to create a steel that excels in toughness, edge retention and corrosion resistance. Featuring a Trademark Round Hole, the blade ensures swift, one-handed opening, even with heavy gloves. The blunt tip is designed for safe use under seat belts and clothing, without puncturing flotation gear. Enhanced with a SpyderEdge, the blade delivers exceptional cutting performance, effortlessly slicing through tough materials. The bright yellow handle is injection molded from durable fiberglass-reinforced nylon, incorporating a Bi-Directional Texture pattern and finger grooves for a secure grip. These grooves enable precise "scissor cutting" of rope, akin to a cigar cutter. Squeezing the closed blade deploys a retractable carbide glass breaker from the handle's butt end for safe window breaking in emergencies. Additional features include a built-in survival whistle, robust back lock mechanism and a reversible wire pocket clip, ensuring convenient carry and ambidextrous operation.
