Thanks.

My wife’s a manager for a home care charity, and when I saw the colours, I pretty much had to get the Orchid ones for her.

I actually got it a few weeks ago. A friend at work had one in his pocket. I recognized the pocket clip. He handed it to me, and I liked what I saw. I ordered one the same day I think. :D

Possibly looking to be part of the club. I’m not an EMT but I’d love to EDC one of these. Do you find that it’s too bulky just using the pocket clip.

I have a Raptor Response. I wouldn't say it is too bulky, but it is more noticeable than for example a Wave due to its odd shape and the fact that the pocket clip makes it sit higher (more accessible).

I tried to take some photos for comparison, and pocket clip over regular jeans. :whistle:

Glad I could help! It is definitely the best shears I have used, and extra functionality is always welcome. I have yet to try the ring cutter though. :cheers:

Ever since I landed on the Raptor Response I have been curious to how it compares to the Raptor Rescue. But already owning a Raptor, I couldn't justify purchasing another one. However, I found this unbranded clone online for $20 and figured I'd give it a try. You know, for science.

I believe it is 1:1 to the proper Raptor Rescue, but the build quality and action is really bad. It cuts surprisingly well though, so I might keep it in my car as a spare.

The Raptor might be a pricy set of shears, but you really do get what you pay for. The quality of Leatherman has never disappointed me. Please forgive me for shopping from our foe. :whistle:

They look like a very accurate copy Nakken!

I think if anyone could justify having more than one set, it’s you. Black and orange, maybe?

Keeping a pair in the car definitely sounds good.

The black and orange ones look great and visibility is always a good thing.

Imagine if the green ones glowed!

I know there have been special editions that do, but I don’t think it’d really add much to the production cost and could even be used as a security feature, like a watermark.
