The Hammond A.B.C. E.R. is a Jim Hammond design whose name stands for “All Bases Covered.” The blunt-tipped A.B.C. E.R. is designed to fill all the needs of the scuba diver and whitewater enthusiast in a single knife. The bottom hollow ground Razor-Sharp edge is suited to fine cutting tasks. The spine incorporates a Triple-Point™ Serrated edge ideal for rapid rough cutting through cord, nets, fishing line, kelp, and for safe release of whitewater entanglements.

The combo and razor edge grinds are equal in length, starting at 0.75” from the blade tip, which ensures that the blunt point won’t pierce air compartments if accidentally dropped. It is also an indispensable work tool for swift water rescue teams, paramedics, and law enforcement.

The blade is a full-tang skeletonized design of high-carbon stainless steel. For excellent corrosion resistance, the steel is given a bright brushed finish. The finger choils are heavily friction grooved for sure grip.

The Zytel sheath with dual attachment panels and black stainless spring steel clip allows eight carry modes and countless variations. Black finish brass Chicago screws allow adjustment of the knife compression fit into the sheath. Equally important, they are used for a multitude of attachment orientations: on diving buoyancy compensators and pocket flaps, webbing, with dive leg straps, on PFDs, or with a neck cord.
