Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this different from a regular rescue knife?
The SOCP Rescue Tool combines three emergency functions in one compact tool. The hook blade cuts restraints, the carbide glass breaker shatters windows, and the O wrench works oxygen valves. Most rescue knives only cut.
How does the MOLLE sheath attach to gear?
The injection molded sheath includes MOLLE compatible mounting hardware that threads through standard webbing on plate carriers, chest rigs, and tactical vests.
Is the 440C steel suitable for rescue work?
Yes. 440C offers excellent corrosion resistance for marine and emergency environments while maintaining a sharp edge. The 58-60 HRC hardness provides the right balance of edge retention and toughness for cutting tasks.
Does this tool have a lanyard attachment?
Yes, the tool includes a lanyard hole for additional retention during operations where dropping the tool could be dangerous.
What is the O wrench function used for?
The O wrench fits standard oxygen tank valves and similar emergency equipment. This allows first responders to operate life support equipment with the same tool used for cutting and glass breaking.
