Our Assessment (Practical Added Value)
Rescue knives combine several tools in a compact format. The serrated edge, in particular, is well suited for cutting fibrous materials such as ropes or belts. At the same time, the smooth cutting edge in the front area allows for controlled cuts.
Practical Added Value: The 440C steel used is one of the classic stainless knife steels. It offers a good combination of corrosion resistance, edge retention, and relatively easy resharpening – properties that can be useful for a utility knife.
