The Benchmade Rescue Tool series represents the pinnacle of first responder knives, engineered specifically for EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, police officers, and other emergency personnel who demand life-saving performance when seconds count. The flagship Benchmade Triage 916 and 917 models combine three essential rescue tools in one dynamic package: a premium knife blade, safety hook for cutting seatbelts and straps, and carbide glass breaker for emergency vehicle extraction. Built with tactical rescue knife precision, these tools feature corrosion-resistant N680 or S30V steel blades with partially serrated edges for maximum cutting versatility, while the hook-shaped safety cutter crafted from 440C steel provides reliable strap-cutting capability without risk of injury to victims. The innovative AXIS Lock mechanism enables secure, ambidextrous operation even while wearing heavy gloves, making these emergency knives indispensable for high-stress rescue situations where reliable deployment is critical. Enhanced with textured G10 handles featuring full stainless steel liners and reversible deep-carry pocket clips, each Benchmade rescue knife is designed for confident grip and instant accessibility during emergency response scenarios. The integrated carbide glass breaker transforms these rescue tools into complete emergency response systems capable of vehicle extrication, while the safety-forward blunt-tip design on select models prevents accidental injury during medical procedures. Available in high-visibility safety orange or tactical black configurations, these first responder tools are tested by rescue professionals worldwide and trusted by emergency services who cannot afford equipment failure. Whether responding to vehicle accidents, medical emergencies, or tactical situations, the Benchmade Rescue Tool delivers the reliability, durability, and multi-functionality that makes the difference between life and death, backed by Benchmade's lifetime warranty and LifeSharp service to ensure peak performance throughout years of demanding service.
