FKMD Fire Brigade Rescue and Emergency Knife
Description
FKMD Fire Brigade Rescue and Emergency Knife
The FKMD Fire Brigade Rescue and Emergency Knife is a professional fixed-blade tool engineered to meet the demanding needs of firefighters and first responders. Its design combines strength, functionality, and precision, making it an essential companion in life-saving situations where every second counts.
Crafted from N690Co stainless steel, the blade delivers exceptional cutting power and durability, while the serrated edge ensures fast and efficient cutting of ropes, cables, and other tough materials. The Black Idroglider® coating enhances corrosion resistance and reduces glare — a key advantage during night operations or high-stress conditions.
The Forprene® OD green handle provides a firm, non-slip grip even in wet or gloved use, offering comfort and control during extended operation. The integrated glass breaker at the base of the handle enables rapid window shattering in vehicle rescues or confined spaces, further extending the knife’s emergency capabilities.
For reliable carry and protection, the knife comes with a durable Kydex® sheath, allowing secure attachment to belts or tactical gear. Compact yet robust, the FKMD Fire Brigade Knife is the ideal tool for firefighters, emergency responders, and rescue professionals who demand performance without compromise.
