Notes:
The SAR 4 is a confluence of key features and attributes that make for the ultimate Search & Rescue Knife. Although very Busse Old School in initial appearance, the SAR 4 has a number of design features that set it far apart from its ancestors.
We pushed the blade length on this model as far as we could in order to keep it in the 4" blade length designation. The blade is 4 7/8" long. We went with a full-height convex grind and a thickness of .220" in order to give it great cutting geometry and strength for its anticipated mission.
We melted down the exterior edges on this model in order to assist in chisel cutting and spine whacking. The rounded edges will not tear up the branch or stick that you are pounding with like a more traditional squared-off style corner.
The thumb notches greatly assist in blade control while the "belly free" handle design make this model flow easily in the hand when chopping.
