Rescue 3 Lightweight Black Spyder in 1991 Spyderco presented the first project of a rescue knife. It combined the safety of the blade about Sheepfoot profile with the effectiveness of the SpyderEdge cutting edge and the lightweight and comfortable FRN handle. Developed for professionals, it works in all conditions, eagerly used by people who value safety and lead an active lifestyle.
Blade - about 3 mm thickness with a Sheeepfoot profile, made of Japanese VG-10 stainless steel (high resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage) hardened in the range of 59-61 HRC. Satin Finish (semi-matt) coating that eliminates glares. Solid blade blockade: Back-Lock type with additional protection against accidental release of the blockade (notch in the blockade) of David Boye's project. The enlarged 14mm round SpyderHole cut out (Spyderco patent) has increased the thumb support (ramp), which places the thumb directly above the hole, allowing the knife to be opened quickly in the glove. Notched thumb ramp on the back of the blade and Finger Choil - profiled notched undercut finger between the handle and the cutting edge increase the control over the knife.
Spyder Edge - (Spyderco patent) serrated blade has been made with a full flat cut (Full Flat Grind), it enables effective cutting with considerable force. The Spyder blade consists alternately of one large and two small teeth called „two-step”. This pattern increases the cutting edge length by up to 24% in relation to the straight edge. Ideal for aggressive cutting of hard materials, plastics and fibrous materials.
Frame- the folder is reinforced with stainless steel plates to which the cladding was attached. This ensures high durability with a low knife weight. The whole was screwed by torx screws.
Handle - in black color. Made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), fiberglass-reinforced nylon, has a bi-directional non-slip texture of the claddings (Bi-Directional Texturing) provides excellent grip, also with greasy or moist hands. Notched ramp and cuts on the back of the blade, called Spine Jimping increase the grip. The folder is equipped with a solid metal clip fastened with three screws and can be attached in four planes (up / down, right / left). 4-way clip positions. In the back of the grip was placed a gap (lanyard hole) to pull the leash or safety rope.
