Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the hook blade different from a standard knife?
The hook blade cuts by pulling through material rather than pushing. This design prevents accidental puncture wounds when cutting seat belts or rope near people, making it safer for rescue operations.
How does the MOLLE compatibility work?
The injection molded sheath includes mounting points that attach directly to MOLLE webbing on plate carriers, chest rigs, and tactical packs without additional hardware.
Can the glass breaker handle automotive glass?
Yes, the carbide glass breaker is designed to shatter automotive side windows and tempered glass. It works by concentrating force at a single point to create fracture patterns.
What is the O wrench function used for?
The integrated O wrench allows you to adjust and maintain equipment with circular fittings, commonly found on tactical and rescue gear.
How should I maintain the 440C steel blade?
Clean and dry the blade after use. The 440C steel resists corrosion well but benefits from light oil application in humid environments. Sharpen the hook edge with a round file or ceramic rod.
