How to use

Cutting a jammed seatbelt, step by step

The belt-cutter hook does the real rescue work on a fire department knife, and it never needs the blade to be opened.

  1. Keep the knife closed and grip the 12.5 cm stone-wash grey handle firmly, with the hook at the butt facing away from you.
  2. Slip the hook over the webbing where the strap is taut and clear of the person, often at the shoulder or across the lap.
  3. Pull the knife through the belt in one firm stroke: the recessed blade inside the hook slices the webbing while fingers stay well away from any edge.
  4. If the way out is through a window, warn anyone inside to shield their face, then strike a side window near a corner with the glass-breaker pommel.
  5. Afterwards, wipe the hook clean and test it on a scrap of cord.
Questions & answers

Stone-wash finish, weight and price questions

What makes a good knife for a firefighter?

Toughness and simplicity. Rescue gear gets dropped, scraped and thrown into kit bags, so a hard-wearing finish matters nearly as much as sharpness. A stone-wash finish is produced by tumbling parts with abrasive media, and the mottled grey it leaves hides scuffs well. Add a black-coated blade, assisted opening and two rescue tools at the butt, and this model covers the essentials.

What is the price of a stainless Pakistan knife like this one?

The unit price is listed at the top of the page, in Pakistani rupees for visitors from Pakistan. Orders by the box come down in price per piece; tell us on WhatsApp or by email how many you need and we will send a wholesale rate.

How heavy is it?

About 163 g, the weight of a full-size pocket folder rather than a keychain tool. That is light enough to ride on a belt in the ref. 2073 leather sheath, sold separately, and solid enough to feel secure in a gloved hand.

Sharpening

Restoring the edge after cutting tape and webbing

Tape adhesive and nylon fibres are the real enemies of a rescue edge, so cleaning comes before sharpening.

  1. Wipe the 9 cm blade with a cloth dampened in rubbing alcohol to lift glue and residue that would clog the stone.
  2. Choose a guided rod system or a bench stone and keep about 20 degrees per side; the blade is short enough to sharpen in a single sweep.
  3. Alternate sides with an equal number of strokes, then check for a burr by drawing a fingertip across, never along, the edge.
  4. Finish with a fine ceramic rod or a strop so the edge slices webbing instead of snagging it.

A stainless steel Pakistan knife treated this way between uses stays ready for the next call-out.
