I work as a firefighter/EMT in a rescue company and that Benchmade Triage is my bread and butter. It gets used almost every tour. Use the strap cutter to remove clothing, not the blade. It's even faster than trauma shears and there is no danger of cutting the patient. Just hook the neck of their shirt and pull down. During a vehicle extrication it is quite common to encounter side curtain airbags in your way, right next to the patient's face. The serrated edge will make quick work of that and you don't have to worry about stabbing your patient. And finally, that blade works for prying. Benchmade may frown on that, I dunno. I use it to pry away the trim along the posts inside the vehicle to check for airbag cylinders and seatbelt tensioners before making cuts with hydraulic tools. Sure, there are tools better suited for that, but the knife is already in my hand because I used it to break the glass, cut the seatbelt, and remove the side curtain airbags. People that actually do this kind of work, this is your knife.

@lukeskywalker1840 4 года назад

Okay I worked in Oakland as a paramedic for 30 years. The only thing I ever used to cut a seatbelt was a trauma shears. In terms of a knife, I used basic ones that I would get for around 20 to $25. I can't tell you how many of these things I lost on scene from crawling into cars to doing whatever it is that I was doing. Whatever basic knife was well built and had no play was what I used. I actually had a sog auto clip for about 15 years. But I often rotated it with basic imported knives I bought at Big 5. They all work just as well as any of these expensive ones. And I would never use any of these knives to cut a seatbelt or anything else. Trauma shears were always best. Those will cut through a penny.

@tonyvillegas1063 Год назад

I know it doesn’t have a knife on it, but the best rescue tool on the market is the Leatherman Raptor. It’s has so many uses and I find myself carrying it as my backup tool to my knife daily.

@davidnagore725 3 года назад

During my EMT days my most indispensable tool was a good set of trauma shears. I basically did almost everything with them, in the field and at home. At the risk of dating myself, this was in the days before leatherman-style heavy duty multitools, though. Nowadays I've seen multitools out there that are based around shears instead of pliers, but at first blush few seem robust enough (or have the right collection of other tools) to handle the workload required of a rescue tool that can also serve daily-use needs, or they just seem hokey. Maybe knife makers should try to explore this idea more often...

@dylanhowell7781 2 года назад

@James-ke5sx Год назад

First it depends who the tool is for. It's different if you're the person doing the rescue compared to if you're the person in the car being trapped and there is no one around. 2018 Federal Regulation, all four sides of every car have to have laminated shatterproof glass and the only tool that's going to get you out of that car is the Victorinox rescue tool. I keep a Victorinox rescue tool and a Leatherman Raptor with my EDC IFAK.

@richardvirchow3390 4 года назад

I was a cop for 32 years, responded to 1000’s of car wrecks and never once had to cut a seatbelt to extricate a car occupant. My EDC is a fine edge folder - NO serrations/sawtooth for me.

@goldenhealer5645 4 года назад

What knife do you carry? I would be very interested as you have a ton of experience which to me is very important, Thanks

@johndilday1846 4 года назад

Same here. I was an officer for 26 years, and hated saw edged blades as being hard to sharpen. I carried a number of knives, but primarily a Victorinox Tinker for general use and a Benchmade Stryker drop point as the last big knife that I utilized. I never had any trouble cutting anything that needed cutting with either of those two knives. Glass breakers got more use, but were still superfluous to my needs. My baton broke any windows I needed to smash.

@koreakiwon 4 года назад

As far as I know, the Spyderco rescue3 has a glass breaker tip at the bottom of its handle. It is hidden in the handle and comes out if you squeeze the blade while it is folded. This review would have been greater if this feature would be shown. Fox 599 and some models have glass breaker tip at the top of their handles. You will have to reverse your grip to use the main blade after using the tip. Positioning breaker tip at the bottom like benchmade Triage would be easier and faster to use. One more thing. I see some knives with just normal stainless steel glass breaker tips. If the tip would not be made with carbide, the chance is that the tool will probably let you down on an emergency situation. It would be great if you would tell us the tip material for each model. Always thank you for your nice videos.

@bladelover90210 Год назад
