Rescue Knife's Introduce

What is the purpose of the rescue knife?
You may know the rescue knife as a knife with a glass breaker and a seat belt cutter. But generally speaking, a rescue knife is a tactical knife used to effectively accomplish a rescue mission -- to break glass; Quick lacerations of clothing, seat belts, or straps; Cut hard material and more.

In short, a rescue knife helps first responders in emergency situations reach the person in need of treatment and reach the area where they need treatment. They help individuals get out of emergency situations as quickly as possible. Rescue knives often also have auxiliary open blades, so they can be easily operated with one hand.
Because they are often used by firefighters, police, EMTs, and first responders, rescue knives are often called: Firefighter's Knife, EMT knife/EMS knife, Doctor's knife, First responder knife, Emergency knife, escape knife

Features of the rescue knife
As mentioned earlier, rescue knives include tools other than blades and are used to help in emergency situations. While these aren't the strict requirements for a knife to be called a "rescue knife," we'll cover some of the most common features here.

Glass breaker
A glass crusher is a tool designed to break glass efficiently. It's much easier to break glass with it than just a random piece of metal. This capability is clearly useful in many emergency situations. You may need to break a car window to escape a car accident. Or you may need to break a window to help someone trapped. Glass breakers are one of the most common features on rescue knives, and for good reason.

Belt knife
In addition to the glass crusher, belt cutters are the other most common tool used on rescue knives. These are most useful in vehicle emergencies and can be used to quickly cut the seat belt. That's why they're also called "seat belt cutters."

Leaf blade serrated
Many rescue knives have serrated or partially serrated blades. The benefit of a sawtooth in a rescue situation is that it helps to cut thicker materials such as rope. Our preference for a rescue knife is a blade with a partial serration - this gives you the greatest versatility, as you can use either a regular edge or a serrated edge, depending on what the situation requires. But you'll find plenty of rescue knife blade styles.

Who should bring a rescue knife?
Now that you know all this information, you may be wondering, is a rescue knife right for me?

A rescue knife is a must for some professions. But they are also meaningful to ordinary citizens. But there are certain professions where a rescue knife can definitely come in handy. Here are a few examples: firefighter, police officer/Leo, paramedic/EMT/First Aid worker.

While the people on this list also carry more specialized tools for their work, having a quick multitool always helps to support your rescue efforts.  As for individuals, the rescue knife is also of great benefit to ordinary citizens. The most helpful way to think of it is as a "car knife." While rescue knives can certainly be used in other situations, they are most commonly used in vehicle-related emergencies.
