COMPANION SERRATED RESCUE KNIFE

My work gloves kept slipping on wet tow lines until I switched to this knife—that patterned high-friction grip is a game changer. The serrated edge chewed through a frayed nylon strap in seconds, and I don't have to worry about stabbing myself with that blunt safety tip.

Took this out on a kayak trip and the serrated blade chewed through a tangled nylon tow line in seconds, which was exactly what I needed. The blunt safety tip is a nice peace of mind when you're fumbling in a wet gear bag, and the high-friction grip stayed solid even with waterlogged gloves.

The grip pattern really locks in your hand even when it’s wet, and that blunt tip means I can cut tangled rope off a kayak without worrying about stabbing the hull. Swedish steel took a beating on saltwater gear all weekend and still feels razor-sharp.
