NRS Captain Rescue Knife
- Unique design includes an efficient rope-cutting hook at the knife's blunt tip. A skilled hand can safely slip the hook under a rope pinned to a person's body.
- Super sharp serrated edge easily slices through rope and webbing.
- Folding blade opens with one hand and locks in place for security.
- A spring metal clip keeps the knife where you want it, or you can remove the clip for a sleeker profile.
- Reversible stainless clip attaches to lash tab and lets right and left handers operate it smoothly. When removing the clip and reinstalling it on the other side of the sheath, we recommend applying Loctite® or other thread locker to the screws to prevent loosening.
- Blunt tip also serves as a slot screwdriver.
- The handy bottle opener will hopefully be the feature you use most.

Comments about NRS Captain Rescue Knife:
I got this knife to replace my bear claw knife that came out of its sheath on the river to never be found again, I wanted something that would fit I the knife pocket in my green jacket, and this knife fits very well and stays in. You can pull it out when you need it, but I do not think it will fall out on its own. I is easy to open this knife with one hand and it locks so it won't close on you. It requires a little bit of effort to close with one hand but it can be done. I used the knife hook to cut some rope and it sliced right through it.

Comments about NRS Captain Rescue Knife:
I really like this knife. It works great for cutting lines and such. It is not the only knife you can carry. There is no typical blade. But it is handy and would be invaluable in an emergency situation.
The only negative is the price. It is a unique high quality tool. However I believe I feel the price is high for what it is.

Comments about NRS Captain Rescue Knife:
Used the knife for the first time this weekend. A thought provoking item which is convenient to have while paddling in a kayak. Balanced, sharp, easy to use and great for use while working with rope or fishing line. Glad I purchased it. Really cannot find one remark on a negative side to use in my description of this product.

Q:
Will this fit in the greenjacket knife pocket? Or is it too big?Asked on 12/26/2012 by dannie5 answers
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
Yes, the NRS Captain rescue knife just fits in the Greenjacket knife pocket.Answered on 12/26/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I have the GreenJacket by Astral PDF, it does fit the knife pocket. That's
the good news, bad news is if you want to use the lanyard hole, it's on the
wrong end of the knife (the inside not the outside of the knife), so it
needs to be a bit long so it will stick out of the pocket for easy access.
This is my only compaint with the knife, otherwise a good all around blade.Answered on 12/27/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
It's not big at all, even kinda small... i don't use the greeenjacket
myself but from videos and pictures it looks fine.Answered on 12/29/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
It catches on the knife pocket a little bit, especially the thumb release
on the blade. It still fits though.Answered on 12/30/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Yes it will fit. I would only insert the knife into the pocket up to the posts on the blade (the posts which allows you to extend the blade one-handed). The posts on the blade tend to get fouled in the knife pocket if the knife is fully inserted into the pocket.Answered on 12/26/2012 by Anonymous

Q:
Any good for use in salt water?Asked on 12/7/2012 by Coldwater5 answers

A:
Used it only in salt water lakes, just follow normal procedure after any
saltwater use. Rinse in fresh water.Answered on 12/9/2012 by Anonymous
A:
We wouldn't recommend it for use in saltwater. Our titanium Pilot and Co-Pilot are the only ones we'd recommend.Answered on 12/7/2012 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Did not use in Salt water. Purchased it as safety knife for cutting lines
or tethers in any situation.

A:
I primarily paddle in brackish water, sometimes in salt. So far the knife has shown no signs of rust or tarnish.
Hope that helps...

Works fine for me in the warm Israeli Mediterranean sea.
Although it gets a bit of rust around the angled blade it can be
cleaned quickly with a bit of scratching.Answered on 12/22/2012 by Anonymous
