Should have posted your pic of the 2 handed version.  :D

It looks a superb tool and yes I do want one, but given the choice I'd rather have the 2 handed one as I'd feel happier carrying it.  :)

Has to be yellow.  :)  Both because of visability and the fact that it looks so pretty.  :D

They are very useful in jurisdictions where one handed openers are frowned upon.

well, it takes longer to get it out to rescue someone. Sometimes those few seconds mean life or death.

Not you as well.  ::)

Why would making the main blade make it useless?  It still has a one handed(ish) serrated blade and all the other rescue tools on there.  A OH blade on that tool is not a necessity IMO, it is just an added convenience.

But you still have the same serrated blade and that would be the one I'd want to use to free someone say, who is trapped in a car for example.

Yeah despite my humorous quip in the other thread the rescue blade is still two handed so it don't matter which version you have. :)

I totally agree with Benner... The implements of the Rescue Tool, being a... ummm... rescue tool, that need to be OH are the glass breaker and the seat belt cutter, which are still OH even when the main blade is not. The main advantage of an OH main blade is that you can use it with gloves on, while a nail nick requires that you are bare handed...

I'm not sure my reflexes are good enough that the extra 1.4 seconds gained by having a one-handed blade would actually be put to any particular use.

Do they do a two-handed serrated blade?

I'm not a huge fan of one handers but there is a time and place for everything and on a rescue knife this is it .

Being a rescue knife doesn't mean all you do is cut peoples seat belts . I'm looking at this knife as a vehicle rescue knife . At a car crash there could be other items to be cut like roof headlinings , the rubber around the windscreen as seen in the Vic video below . What about a baby in a car seat ? the belt that holds the seat in position would need to be cut so the seat can be removed with child still in it , plastic trim ,the list goes on . A one hander is a must in these situations so you can keep your gloves on .

Ben I'm not saying I think you should get the one hander , I'm just saying thats why I prefer it .I understand your reason mate   :)

A one hander is a must in these situations so you can keep your gloves on .
I am a fan of one handers and still believe that a two-hander rescue tool is ok. The seat-belt cutter implement, being both (a) serrated, (b) blunt tipped, and (c) one-hander, is your best bet for mostly all of these situations you describe (I definitely wouldn't want a pointed blade near a baby car seat). I mean, if you're inside the vehicle in question, you probably have no use for a pointed blade. If OTOH you're outside the vehicle, and you're not a fireman or something (so you don't have fat gloves on), a two hander is ok as well and it's surely more sheeple friendly than a OH blade... And a rescue tool that you're not afraid to carry around is a rescue tool that's probably more useful than one that's bound to stay at home... Just my €0.02 :)

These runts aside, it's Ben's decision as "only the ringtool-bearer matters"...
