About this knife

A silver double-headed eagle spreads its wings above wavy lines on a deep blue shield, inlaid in the 11.7 cm black aluminium handle. The double-headed eagle is one of the oldest heraldic emblems, which makes this the collector's pick of the crest series.

It is still a working rescue knife: 8.5 cm black-coated stainless steel tanto blade with flipper tab and assisted opening, a ridged rear grip, a seatbelt cutter hook and a glass-breaker point.

161 g, made in Pakistan, supplied wholesale. Compatible sheath ref. 2090, sold separately.

Quality check

Checking an eagle crest knife on arrival

As the collector's pick of the crest series, this knife will be looked at closely, so look at it closely first:

The silver eagle, both heads and the wavy lines below are sharp and complete on the deep blue shield.
The 8.5 cm black tanto blade opens with the flipper tab and assisted opening, stops firmly and closes centred in the handle.
The coating is even, with no scratches on the flats.
The seatbelt cutter hook and glass-breaker point at the ridged rear are secure and free of burrs.

A heraldic crest catches a collector's eye, but this is still a fireman's knife at heart, so the rescue tools deserve the same scrutiny as the artwork.

Made in Sialkot

Inlaid crests on aluminium: how it is done

Unlike the etched designs elsewhere in the rescue range, the crest on this knife is inlaid in the 11.7 cm black aluminium handle. Work of this kind usually involves cutting a shallow recess into the handle and fitting a coloured emblem into it, which keeps the colours bright and protected: here a silver eagle on a deep blue field.

The rest of the knife follows the series pattern: an 8.5 cm stainless tanto blade with a black coating, a ridged rear grip carrying the seatbelt cutter and glass breaker, and a flipper tab with assisted opening. Sialkot's cutlery trade has always adapted to new tastes, and a Pakistan pocket knife with an inlaid crest shows how far that trade has moved with the times.

Did you know?

Double-headed eagles before any empire

Long before Byzantium, the Holy Roman Empire or Russia adopted it, the double-headed eagle appeared in Hittite art in Anatolia more than three thousand years ago; a well-known relief at Alaca Höyük, in modern Turkey, shows one. Few emblems have travelled so far, which is why this crest makes the Pakistani knife in the series a talking point for collectors.

Questions & answers

Practical questions about the double eagle

What makes a good knife for a firefighter?

Weight and balance matter over a long shift. A rescue folder should be heavy enough to feel solid when breaking glass and light enough to forget in a pocket. At 161 g, with an 11.7 cm aluminium handle, this one sits in that range, and it carries the essentials: a recessed seatbelt cutter, a glass-breaker point and an 8.5 cm tanto blade with a strong tip.
