Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web
CARA CARA RESCUE™ 2 FRN BLACK
The newly updated Cara Cara Rescue 2 offers lifesaving performance at a very affordable price. Its skeletonized stainless steel liners and textured, injection-molded FRN handles provide the ideal combination of light weight and a secure grip, even in the most demanding environmental conditions. A new hollow-ground, fully-serrated sheepfoot blade provides improved edge geometry and cutting performance while protecting against accidental punctures.
To complete the package, a four-position clip and sturdy back lock mechanism make the knife completely ambidextrous and an ideal choice for right and left-handed users alike.
Whether you're a duty-bound first responder or a prepared civilian, your kit isn't complete without the new Cara Cara Rescue 2.[1]
