The Smith & Wesson M&P Rescue folding knife delivers reliable cutting performance in a compact tactical package. This tanto-style blade combines the precision of Japanese steel with American engineering standards for professionals who demand dependable edge retention.
What Makes This Different
The 7Cr15MoV stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel alternatives. The tanto blade geometry concentrates cutting force at the tip for enhanced piercing capability, while the plain edge maintains sharpness longer than serrated designs. The aluminum handle construction reduces overall weight by 30% versus steel-handled competitors while maintaining structural integrity under stress.

Field testing demonstrates consistent blade deployment under various temperature conditions from -10°F to 120°F. The locking mechanism engages positively with audible feedback, while the pocket clip maintains retention through vigorous activity. Emergency responders appreciate the tanto point's ability to penetrate seat belts and safety glass when necessary. The plain edge excels in rope cutting, cardboard processing, and general utility tasks without requiring frequent resharpening.
