About this knife

A white lion rampant stands on a red shield inlaid in the 11.7 cm black aluminium handle, the most classic heraldic image there is and the boldest crest of this four-knife series.

Under the look is a complete rescue folder: an 8.5 cm black-coated stainless steel tanto blade with flipper tab and assisted opening, and a ridged rear grip ending in a seatbelt cutter hook and a glass-breaker point.

Keep the pivot clean and add a drop of oil from time to time so the assisted opening stays smooth. 161 g, made in Pakistan, sold wholesale. Fits sheath ref. 2090, sold separately.

How to use

Gloved hands: opening and closing the red lion

Rescue work is done in gloves, so practise with the pair you actually wear:

  1. Hold the closed knife firmly, with your index finger resting on the flipper tab.
  2. Press the tab in one firm movement; the assisted opening carries the 8.5 cm tanto blade out to a stop.
  3. Check that the blade is fully open before using it.
  4. To close, keep your fingers clear of the slot and fold the blade back with a deliberate, controlled movement, guiding the spine.
  5. Repeat ten times; gloves change the feel of the tab, and repetition builds the habit.

That gloved-hand practice is the core of training with any of the knives for firefighters in this range.

Quality check

Red lion arrivals: a five-point inspection

The red lion is the boldest crest in the series, so any flaw in it shows. Before it goes on sale, check that:

  • The white lion is crisp on the red shield, with clean outlines and no colour bleeding.
  • The flipper tab and assisted opening deploy the blade smoothly to a firm stop, every time.
  • The black coating on the tanto blade is uniform, without scratches from packing.
  • The seatbelt cutter hook and the glass-breaker point at the ridged rear are secure and free of burrs.
  • The pivot turns cleanly; a drop of oil from time to time keeps it that way.

A Pakistan folding knife that passes these checks is ready for the counter.

Questions & answers

Price and purpose of the red lion folder

What makes a good knife for a firefighter?

Durability under rough use comes first: steel that shrugs off water, a handle material that does not crack in the cold, and tools without fragile parts. This red lion model has an aluminium frame with a ridged rear, a recessed seatbelt cutter hook, a glass-breaker point and a black tanto blade whose square tip resists breaking. Keep the pivot clean and it stays dependable.

Which one to choose

Choosing a crest from the heraldic four

Each crest in the series sits on the same rescue folder, with an 8.5 cm black tanto blade, seatbelt cutter and glass breaker, so the decision is about the image. Heraldry gives these modern folders some of the old-world character that draws people to vintage Pakistan knives, and buyers often pick the crest that matches a family name, a club or a favourite flag:
