Kershaw Bel Air XL EMT Folding Rescue Knife - Orange
Folding rescue knife featuring a compact profile and a robust, ergonomic construction. Outfitted with a Sheepsfoot blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel. Engineered specifically for rescue missions where reliable performance is crucial in emergency situations, no matter the environmental conditions. The rounded tip combined with a partially serrated edge ensures safe cutting of materials like seat belts and clothing, minimizing the risk of accidental harm. The high-visibility orange handle is constructed from tough G10 laminate.
CPM MagnaCut steel
Forged from CPM MagnaCut stainless powder steel and hardened to 62-64 HRC, the blade boasts exceptional resistance to wear and corrosion, while maintaining minimal risk of chipping or cracking. A Blackwash finish is applied to the surface for added scratch protection.
Sheepsfoot blade profile, partially serrated cutting edge
The Sheepsfoot blade profile features a length of 82 mm and a thickness of 3.2 mm. With a full flat grind, the blade incorporates a partially serrated edge, making it effective for slicing through tough and synthetic materials such as ropes or straps. A rounded tip enhances safety in rescue scenarios, enabling the knife to be handled securely in close proximity to an injured person’s body while minimizing the chance of accidental injuries.
Reliable, smooth deployment is provided by the KVT ball bearing system, which greatly reduces operational friction and enables swift, one-handed blade opening via a thumb stud.
G10 laminate handle and deep-carry clip
Constructed from G10 laminate, the handle combines a lightweight design with exceptional strength, ensuring a firm hold and superior user comfort. Featuring a deep-carry clip, the knife can be discreetly and securely carried, with attachment points on both sides of the handle to suit individual preferences. Positioned at the rear of the handle, a carbide glass breaker has been integrated, allowing for swift window breaking in emergency scenarios.
DuraLock locking mechanism
The DuraLock mechanism secures the blade firmly in the open position, reliably stopping accidental closure. This ensures safe knife operation, even under demanding conditions.
