Humvee HMV-KC-ER1 Black Emergency Rescue Knife And Light Combo Review

Humvee HMV-KC-ER1 Black Emergency Rescue Knife And Light Combo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Got this to keep in the vehicle in case of emergency, which is probably what the Humvee HMV-KC-ER1 is best suited for. Out of the box I noticed that 2 of the 3 retaining screws on the side are loose and that the blade pivot action is too tight and needs to be loosened slightly. It looks like I need about a T8(?) torx (which I only have as small as a T10) to accomplish all the above. The blade also seems to be aligned at a slight angle vertically. The grind on the blade is not even and way off near the point. Finally the liner lock over centers when you wrist-flick it open and becomes too hard to release one-handed with my thumb. For the $18-$19 I paid, I was hoping for a little better quality. I should be able to fix most of these easily barring the screws aren't stripped out, but I shouldn't have to be fixing things on a brand new knife. It otherwise feels fairly solid and does not have any blade play (otherwise it'd be going back for sure). I am keeping it only for the fact that it won't be an everyday carry and if something happens to it I really don't care just as long that it works as designed if I ever need it to.

Smith & Wesson SW911 First Response Review

Smith and Wesson SW911  First Response
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased one of these years ago and have used the window punch in extrication (you have to remember to cock it all the way back to the third chuck for it to work though). I have used the saw tooth blade to cut away tempered glass, and I've used the tip to pry open screens and windows to gain entry through residential windows. Also, the thing sits in an exterior pouch on my turnout coat and exposure to extremes of heat hasn't touched it (whereas my previous Buck didn't enjoy high temps). Excellent first responder knife. I went to get a newer one and retire my old one to my personal vehicle's mini-rescue kit and found one through another web buyer-seller site and found it for $25. Unfortunately, though it was stamped S&W and came in an S&W box, everything about it was inferior. Look for the 'use safety glasses' message in the blade and the generous scallops of the saw tooth blade as well as a large tip when looking for the real thing. I believe this model has been discontinued by S&W so snatch one up if you can.

Gerber 22-41534 Hinderer Rescue Knife with Serrated Edge and Sheath Review

Average Reviews:

I am a career firefighter/paramedic with seven years on the job. I have already used the knife several times on EMS calls. Four times I have used the oxygen wrench (we all know how the black tabs seem to get lost), and I have used the Zuess tool (belt cutter) and window punch on a couple of MVA's with extrication. Also used it on several trauma patients to expose them. Far superior to trauma shears. The knife is great for all around uses around the firehouse. Highly recommended.

Smith & Wesson SWBG2TS Border Guard 2 Rescue Knife with 40% Serrated Tanto Blade, Glass Break, and Seatbelt Cutter, Black Review

Smith and Wesson SWBG2TS Border Guard 2 Rescue Knife with 40% Serrated Tanto Blade, Glass Break, and Seatbelt Cutter, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I received this knife I was surprised by both the size and quality. Both the blade and handle are solid, providing great weight, durability, and balance. The description states the handle is aluminum, however, I would have never known judging by its strength and weight. The blade opens with ease and locks securely in place. The handle has finger grooves and gripping material providing great slip resistance, as well as a strong durable pocket clip. I own several other Smith & Wesson knives, including Rescue Knives, and have encountered issues including the pocket clip falling off and poor quality blade/handle materials. I can say from past experience, this knife is truly a "quality" tool and puts its predecessors to shame. I am very impressed with this product and would strongly recommend it to others, as it is built to last and withstand the hardships of everyday use! A definite must have for first responders!!

Columbia River Knife And Tool's Exitool 9030 Multi Tool Review

I love the idea, unfortunately it falls off the seatbelt quite often so I'm nervous it won't be there when I go to reach for it in an emergency. The clasp to open and close it seems to hit the belt buckle when it slides around after unhooking yourself, knocking it open and onto the floor or back seat. Also the light isn't very bright, less than 10 lumans, but I can't knock it as there could easily be no light included at all.

Gerber 22-41870 Hinderer Combat Life Saver Knife with Serrated Edge Review

Gerber 22-41870 Hinderer Combat Life Saver Knife with Serrated Edge
Average Reviews:

I am an Industrial Firefighter and bought this knife thinking it was just what I needed to carry on the job. When it arrived in the mail I was excited to find that it felt as sturdy as people had boasted in reviews. I started using it my first day on shift, cutting lashing, chord, and zip ties throughout the day. It fell from my pocket, in the closed position, once from height of about four feet. Later on shift when I sat down to sharpen it, I noticed that two screws had become loose. One screw attached the thumb stud on the blade, and the other loose screw attached the seatbelt cutter. The loose seatbelt hook screw allowed the hook to deploy simply by flicking the knife. This was not what I was expecting from one day of useage in non-emergency mode. I have carried the same Benchmade brand knife for over four years, and used it for everything without it dissapointing me. It doesn't have the bells and whistles that I bought the Gerber for, but it never started falling apart on me. Undoubtedly this review is going to upset all the consumers who love this product, so dont start slamming me about how I dont know anything about knives. I'm simply giving an honest review of MY experience with the Gerber CLS.

Smith & Wesson SWFRS First Response Serrated Knife Review

Smith and Wesson SWFRS First Response Serrated Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I started out looking for a fishing knife to put in my new kayak. I was also looking for a safety tool to help free me from my vehicle if it ever went into the drink. I frequently drive over a bridge that goes 26 miles over water and I've seen too many vehicles fished out of the lake. This knife turned out to be the perfect combo.
A small disk inserted into the top of the blade near where it meets the handle makes it very easy to open, even when your hands are wet and slippery. The combo of half serrated and half sharpened edge makes it good for cleaning fish, cutting rope or other utility uses. The windshield shattering metal nib is on the butt of the handle and the seat belt cutter is right next to it. You can use both without having to open or turn the knife, a big plus in an emergency. It also has a very strong and long clip firmly attached to the handle. This is tight enough to slip onto the waist of your jeans or into a life vest pocket if you don't wear a belt. The knife is heavy enough to add some heft to your stroke should you ever have to break a windshield underwater. The metal looks similar to what might be used on one of their pistols and it is assembled with numerous star headed screws rather than rivets. You should be able to tighten or clean it as needed. Good purchase...patting myself on the back as I write!

Average Reviews:

As a member of a group for jungle survival and mountain explorations, I decided to buy this ``multi-tool-knife`` as a complement for my survival and first aid kits .
This product combines several things that are necessary in emergencies, such as:
"A powerful whistle.
"A flashlight that can light up a room or vehicle, although it seems small it works very well, and brings spare batteries, also it's waterproof.
"A device to break the windows of a car. Or any other glass.
"The folding knife to cut clothing or rope without compromising the integrity of the victim, the knife is very sharp and safe to use.
It is lightweight, has a clip to carry in your pocket, and the size is ideal because it is unobtrusive but functional.
It looks well constructed and durable.
It has a lanyard hole.
Overall a good product for those who want to be prepared.
The price is very reasonable and I recommend it because I think is a good quality product with many advantages.

Window Punch Brass Review

The old window punches we had on our fire/rescue trucks were made of aluminum and were corroded and not working properly after being used in all weather conditions. I found these here on amazon and thought at the price they were selling at, they wouldn't be too great. Boy, was I wrong!!! These were, as advertized, brass, (won't corrode), spring loaded, and of much better quality than what we got from our normal fire/ rescue supplier. AND,the price was GREAT too!! I will be using this seller again for sure.
