This Knife was designed for emergency situations which EMT and Paramedics find themselves responding to daily. The tool was constructed out of stainless steel with a tanto style blade. It has a black anodized finish with a partial serration which is good to have in cases where tough clothing may need to be cut away like denim. A thumb stud and flicker is provided for an easy flawless deployment which is important on a reliable knife. The zinc aluminum handle features the Star of Life emblem which represents emergency medical services such as ambulances. A steel belt clip is on the back to secure the knife in your pocket or on your belt at all times.
