D'Allara Rescue
Just ordered one, and should have it soon. Just thought i would get some of your thoughts about it. Ive read the story behind it, and i think its really great that :spyder: named it after John. It shows how they truely value customers and friends.

Never thought of it in that capacity before but why not I guess. It does have more blade, what around 2"? Its beefy, that's for sure. And lock up is secure. It'll work.WORKER#9 wrote:I Think It Is A Great Knife, I Use Mine For Edc Self Defense Role, I Think It Is A Superior Knife In That Role, Its Like A Giant Dodo, Its Action Is So Fast, It Just Flicks Open. It Is A Very Large Strong Knife. I Know It Was Built For Rescue But As A Defensive Knife It Rules!! #9

Excellent Knife Made Better!!!
I Think A Lot Of People Have Not Given This Knife The Credit It Deserves. This Is A Big Burly Knife, A Mans Knife!!! With The Improvements That Sal Mentioned It Should Be Perfect. The Picture Of Mine Is The Old Style With The Thicker Handle. My Only Complaint Is The Handle Eats Away At My Pants Pocket, But That Has Been Fixed According To Sal. But I Have Grown Very Partial To This Old Model I Own. #9

the one that i purchased is more than likely the older model, but i have been carrying a rescue clipit for quite some time and although i enjoy it, the aus 8 blade is a little soft. I wanted a vg10 and was intrigued by the locking mechanism. i expect magnificent things.

I think the D'Allara rescue is a great knife. When I took it out of the box it opened very smoothly but there was much blade play. This was quickly solved with the adjustable pivot pin. A knife to my heart!!
I don't give a rat's *** about my jeanspocket(I'm into knives not clothes) .I have the older model too.

The D'Allara Rescue is a stout knife, but feels great in-hand. It inspires confidence for use, and has a really smooth action.
I'm looking forward to more :spyder: knives using shaped FRN (or other materials :D ) like this model. The palm swells are nice!

That's great news, Sal. I was considering the purchase of a Rescue series knife, and it sounds like the my two main reasons for not really considering the D'Allara have been addressed in the updated version. Think I'll wait and see what the drop point looks like. Should be perfect for my needs!

There is a D'Allara drop point in the works.

Wow that's great stuff. I had no idea that it had steel liners and it was so large. Looks like a brute.
