MAC 697 SOS 2 Yellow Black Rounded End Blade Boat Rescue Knife

The MAC 697 SOS 2 Yellow Black Rounded End Blade Boat Rescue Knife (from Mac Coltellerie, Italy) is a compact, high-visibility folding rescue tool engineered for demanding marine, diving, boating, and emergency situations. Its bright yellow handle ensures quick spotting in low-light or water environments, while the black-coated blade offers corrosion resistance and low-profile stealth.

This one-handed opening knife features a serrated drop-point blade with a distinctive hooked, rounded-end (sheepsfoot-style) tip—designed for safe, controlled cutting of lines, ropes, nets, webbing, seatbelts, or entanglement hazards without risking accidental punctures. The blade is crafted from premium W 1.4034 stainless steel (hardened to 55-56 HRC, ~2.5 mm / 0.098" thick), treated with IDROGLIDER GOLD Black PTFE-based coating for superior abrasion resistance, reduced friction, and enhanced waterproof performance in saltwater or wet conditions.

The elongated thumb hole allows fast, reliable deployment—even with gloves or wet hands—and the sturdy lockback mechanism secures the blade during heavy use. The ergonomic handle is made from durable fiberglass-reinforced nylon in high-visibility yellow, with a textured grip for secure hold, dual pivot rivets for strength, and a lanyard hole for tethering to gear, PFDs, or BCD pockets.

Compact when closed (approximately 4.25-4.5" handle length), it opens to an overall length of about 7.28-7.50" (blade ~2.75-3.25"), weighing just 80-85 g (2.82-3 oz)—lightweight enough for everyday carry yet robust for professional rescue, sailing, fishing, kayaking, or emergency response.
