One of the tragic effects of the commercial fishing industry is the entanglement of whales in fishing nets and related rigging. As the entangled whales struggle to break free, the lines and nets are pulled taut, often resulting in serious injury and sometimes death. Fortunately, there are wildlife conservation groups dedicated to rescuing these animals, but doing so safely and effectively requires a specialized tool. To meet that need, Spyderco developed the Whale Rescue Blade.
Designed to be attached to the end of a 10-foot pole and maneuvered from an inflatable raft, the Whale Rescue Blade's blunt tip and concave profile protect the animal, while its fully serrated patented SpyderEdge blade cuts with extreme efficiency--even through tangled, water-soaked lines. Thanks to Spyderco, the Whale Rescue Blade is now a commercially produced product and now includes H-1 steel--a 100% rustproof nitrogen-based alloy.
