Solid rescue knife - Spyderco Assist 3.7in Assisted Opening Folding Knife

I bought this for off-shore sail racing. Our rules require a knife that can be opened with one hand, on your person at all times. We wear inflatable life jackets, so a blunt tip is a good idea, and I love the tip on this one.
My only complaint is that it is a bit large for my hands. I can open it with one hand (the "cobra hole cap" is great) but not quickly. I made the mistake of trying to close it one handed. I really hope this thing can go through line like it went through my finger.
If I ever have to cut myself or a crew-mate lose I have no doubt that this knife will do the job, but if I don't have two hands free to close it it may be a gift to Davy Jones.
Pros: Sharp, solid blade with a blunt tip
Cons: Just a bit large for my hand
