S.P.O.T.
Self Protection Option Tool
Designed by Sal Glesser, its shape and size are inspired by the French knife
designer Fred Perrin. The S.P.O.T. is a striking accessory. A palm-sized
all-steel fixed-blade with a skeletally cut-out handle, it can be categorized
as a dynamically functional unisex tool for men and women alike. Unique to
the
model is the index finger hole, a Perrin feature. Placing the index finger
through the hole and gripping the angled handle situates the thumb atop the
blade's
spine for precise cutting control. Curved into a reverse S-shape, the blade
slices like a demon and is ground to an incisor-like tip for craft projects
and other
meticulous cutting jobs. A line of graduating-sized holes are dremmeled out
of the blade lessening overall weight and adding to its 'spotty' appearance.
Two
S.P.O.T. models are available in 2002 both having a 1 3/8" (35mm) cutting
edge. This model is made with VG-10 stainless steel overlaid with Micarta
edging
along the handle's rim for added grip. Since it's made of a solid piece of
stainless steel, the S.P.O.T. has no moving parts to catch, break, or wear-out
over time. Combined with a lightweight Kydex neck sheath, the sheath/knife
combination carry discreetly and confidently flat under clothing or workout
gear.
