Safety by Design

RaptorTM

The work horse. This patented knife is sharp, tough, strong, unaffected by the environment, roughed and safe. The Raptor(TM) Safety Knife was originally designed for emergency access and extrication of victims in commercial aircraft incidents. It was designed for use in low visibility environments where the user would be constrained by bulky gloves and often had to simultaneously cut through a variety of substances (tubing, wiring, fabric, etc. ) that couldn't easily be seen. The result of this design target is an ergonomic handle design in conjunction with the pull-hook cutting action, twin super sharp stainless steel blades, protected blade access, light weight and high strength. In other words, the Raptor an excellent tool for any cutting situation. The Raptor's usefulness is easily transportable to most emergency, industrial, sport or military application where cutting a variety of materials with a high degree of safety is required.

Ergonomic Body

The handle shape of the Raptor(TM) Safety Knife Knife was designed to fit your hand even while wearing heavy gloves. Three grasp points, one each for the thumb, index finger, and heal of the hand, provide sure gripping action in the direction of the cut. The hook knife shape is designed to pull material into the blades while providing a safety guide to protect the user.. For rescue applications this knife greatly minimizes the risk of inadvertently cutting the victim or other critical items such as lifelines and air hoses.

The shaped body of the Raptor(TM) is constructed entirely of aircraft grade aluminum, which is finished with a hard, anodized surface. This makes the tool highly corrosion-resistance while maintaining lightweight and high strength.

The two piece body is held together by stainless steel screws which are counter sunk prior to the anodizing process.

Stainless Steel Blades

Two stainless steel blades are precision ground for a super-sharp cutting edge. The corrosion - resistant blades are easily replaced.

Optional Pocket
