Rescue™ 3 Thin Line

The Rescue™ 3 is a purpose-designed rescue knife that combines the safety of a sheepsfoot blade profile, the cutting power of a serrated SpyderEdge™, and the light weight of a fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle. A proud member of our “Thin Blue Line” and “Thin Red Line” families of knives, these expressions of it feature handle scales accented by a bright blue or red lining and a matching colored backspacer. This color theme symbolizes the "thin blue line" and "thin red line" law enforcement officers and first responders represent between the normalcy of our daily world and the chaos of life-threatening emergencies. The full-flat-ground VG-10 blades of these knives are also proudly laser engraved with the motto "To Serve and Protect" or “Save and Serve” to honor the selfless service of our law enforcement officers and first responders. The handle features nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners for strength, a molded Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern for a non-slip grip, and a four-position clip that supports left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry.  

A portion of all sales of “Thin Blue Line” knives will be donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which honors firefighter Stephen Siller's sacrifice of laying down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. Tunnel to Towers operates multiple charitable programs that support first responders and military personnel who have made the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country.

Spyderco donates a portion of all sales of “Thin Red Line” knives to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation (wffoundation.org), which provides immediate financial and ongoing emotional support, advocacy, and recognition to fallen and injured wildland firefighters and their families.
