Reasons Spyderco offer smaller knives are numerous but essentially
people's hands come in different sizes and we occasionally find
ourselves in social situations that dictate use of a smaller blade. Many
think smaller versions of the same model are simply shrunk down. Not so.
For every design to reach its utmost level of ergonomic comfort and
maximum performance we often take features and engineer/rework them into
a more diminutive pattern. An example is our 79mm version of the Rescue
Model.
A smaller equivalent of the C14 93mm Rescue, it too has a flat
saber-ground, SpyderEdge, VG-10 blade that ends in a sheepfoot safety
tip. For smoother thumb rotation we enlarged the Spyderco Trademark
Round Hole, which in turn creates a prominent hump to position the thumb
on while cutting. The FRN waffle textured handle is available with an
ambidextrous, tip-up pocket clip.
