I'm trying to get a firefighter friend of mine a knife for when he is off duty. He has a ParaMilitary and carries a Hinderer Gerber Rescue when on the job.
I'm thinking of either a Spyderco Assist or Salt

Thanks!
 
Hi,

Off duty you tend not to want to be reminded of work. So I'd look for something that isn't "rescue-cool". Perhaps a nice slippie of some kind. Any EDC type would be OK I think.

Is this a "utility" knife, or a "tactical" knife????

I am an Emmerson guy, but I imagine you probably don't want to spend that much money! Just in case, for utility the 10, 12, or 13 are my preference, and for self-defense the Combat Karambits.
 
Depends on what he wants to do on his day off... lot's of guys I work with carry simple 2 blade folders (case style, etc.). Of course we are some good ole simple country boys, so that may have something to do with it :D
 
Hmm, he wasn't really fond of the SAK Rescue tool
Days off, he just rides his bike or motorcycle and bum out at social clubs, etc
He likes stuff, but simple and non gimmicky
