I’m starting with the local volunteer fire department, something I’ve wanted to do for a long time but finally getting the opportunity to do. So I want to get a good rescue type knife but I don’t know much about them. I’m thinking of getting the Emerson NSAR, does anybody have that??? I’ve ordeted 2 Emerson’s in the last week so I’m starting to get the Emerson sickness, are there other good options out there??? Thanks! | ||

I don't have experience with it, but when I saw your post it was the first knife I thought of. https://www.gerbergear.com/Kni...escue-Knife_22-41534 "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

It's a little pricey, but I have a Benchmade Auto Triage and it is incredible. The Auto Main Blade and Seatbelt Cutter have been flawless.  | |||

That looks pretty nice, I like Benchmade knives. | |||

This X 1000. I LOVE THIS KNIFE. I have carried this or a variant of this on me daily for years. It has been used to cut the seat belt off of an unconscious woman in a burning car, and helped me break a window to rescue a toddler left in a hot car. I have tried others but nothing I have tried even compares! NRA Certified instructor, and Range Safety officer OpSpec Training http://opspectraining.com Grayguns - http://grayguns.com | |||

I gifted a young man going into the local fire/EMT squad a Spyderco rescue. I liked the Sheepsfoot blade and the aggressive serrations. I know he really liked it, when I see him I'll have to ask if it's still with him, he's now with the Las Vegas F.D. ________________________________ "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

I try to keep some sort of Leatherman within arms reach. Take a look at one of these: https://www.leatherman.com/rap...t=Core+Brand&start=1 Even a regular Leatherman, surge, wave, etc... work really well. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

If he's with LVFD, he will never wear that knife out  Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

I have used a Leatherman Charge XTI for several years: https://www.leatherman.com/cha...AEgJ4ufD_BwE&start=1 I have replaced the original nylon sheath with a leather one (due to wear from pretty much daily use) and added a bit driver extender and two extra sets of bits. I have never had to use the seat belt cutter for that purpose, but I have used pretty much every blade on this thing and many of the bits. I have used it to repair everything from eyeglasses to door handles. | |||

One thing I like about the Emerson is that the seatbelt cutter is on the main blade but can also be used without opening the knife, I like that simplicity of having everything in one spot, no need for using 2 hands to deploy the seatbelt hook or worrying about having to close the main blade while using the seatbelt cutter. | |||

ordered the Emerson, other knoves look cool but i like the idea of having one blade with a seatbelt cutter that I can operate one handed without fiddling to unfold a secondary blade. | |||

I would (have) recommended the Spyderco Assist Salt H-1 Knife. Great for the role. In H1 you never need to worry about corrosion. Lateck, P220R-45-EQ, P226R-40, P229R-9-SCT, P239-357-SAS2B, P365-9-BXR3 plus some Ruger's. | |||

Too clever by half |
I have the standard Benchmade Triage used as the rescue knife on board the sailboat. The pattern on the G10 scales is seriously aggressive which is great for the purpose. "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

Had a little gadget similar to the CRKT keyring cutter on my duty belt for the 23 years I was a Highway Patrolman. Never used it one time. A good small light, a strong folder like a Hinderer, and a good pair of leather gloves did me far more good at accident scenes. | |||
