1 X Assisted Black & Red Spider Rescue Knife

Over the past several years, I've become a huge fan of Tac Force knives. They are inexpensive, but tend to be well worth their cost. This knife is no exception from the quality I've come to expect. Straight out of the box, the blade is well oiled, but still takes a little breaking in to get it loosened up nice & smooth. Every Tac Force knife I've purchased has been taken down, and I've used cold weld when reassembling them, and These knives generally handle at least a year of torture before I have to replace them.The spring assist on these knives is really smooth, and helps out a ton~ no more flicking of the wrist to get the blade locked open. I went up to a 'You pull it' parts yard, and was content with how the seat belt cutter and the window punch work. Both performed exactly as I'd expected. Window punch just took a sharp rap to the window, and the whole thing spider webbed out, and a second hit had the glass falling to pieces. The seat belt cutter took a little work, but it did work well, and there is next to zero risk of accidental cutting when using that blade!If you are looking for an inexpensive knfie to put through the paces, and not care if it gets a little scarred or eventually breaks, you are looking in the right place. If you don't mind having to replace your knife every year or 18 months, then this is a great choice. Just don't expect to be getting a Spyderco or other high end knife when you spend less than $20 on one of these and you should be happy with any of the Tac Force Speedster models.

Nice and heavy, You can feel it. Sturdy

It has a very easy to use blade that flips out with with little effort. The seat belt cutter is sharp, I don't know if it will cut seat belts. I have not tried that on a seat belt yet. The glass breaker will at least shatter a glass bottle from my testing, but I haven't had a chance to try it on a window. The construction is very solid. The picture does not show just how thick the steel is that surrounds the blade. When you grip the knife, it actually feels sturdy as compared to some flimsier knives. The design is also cool with raised edges and sharp lines.

I bought this knife two years ago, and still use it, though it is no longer a part of my everyday carry, because I switched to another knife with a smaller form factor. This is still the knife I carry when I am doing long drives, and there have been times where I simply keep it in the center console.The blade has held up under regular wear and tear, and as I used this knife primarily for utility, I didn't find any specific task that it didn't work for. If you are looking for a good, all around knife at a low price, this is a good choice. The lock is solid when it is open, it doesn't open too easily, and even after two years, the spring assist works perfectly. My one suggestion is to immediately, upon receiving the knife, take out each screw and apply some thread locker (though this will require a fairly small Torx style screwdriver), as the screws have a bad habit of working their way out over time. For me, this happened within a couple weeks at occasional use, so definitely be ready to do that early on. Your mileage with thread locker may vary, but I haven't had a single issue since I first reset, and locked the screws.For the price, this is a great knife, especially for someone willing to put just a little care into it (thread locking the screws, sharpening the blade).

Flimsy and useless. Broke after one EMS call. If looks made the item this thing might actually be worth the money.

I really wanted to like this knife. Most of the knife was well made but the blade was too loose whenever I released it. It would wobble back and forth whenever I try to cut something. It's a shame because everything else about the knife was good. It has a nice design and it came pretty sharp. The window breaker and seatbelt cutter were both pretty nice. From what I can tell from the rest of the reviews this is a good knife so I may have gotten a defective one.

Was not to sure about getting this knife, but to my surprise it is very sharp and smooth to open. Only down side is that the metal finish is a bit of throwing. Other than that it overall is a great knife

I work as a volunteer for the local police department and one of the younger guys has a birthday coming up. I figured I would get him a decent cheap knife for his uniform. Nothing fancy just something that looked nice and was cheap. Found this one and got it in time for a day before his birthday. Came in the mail today about 3 days after I ordered it and over a week ahead of schedule. My curiosity overpowered me and I opened it up and was VERY IMPRESSED with the quality. Great deal for the price, looks very cool and assisted opening function is great. Only problem is It will no longer be a gift, I'm keeping this bad boy for myself, my buddy will have to settle for a regular card because there is no way I'm letting this thing go.
