Kershaw Bel Air XL EMT Rescue Folding Knife - Black
A compact, foldable rescue knife featuring a rugged and ergonomic design. Outfitted with a Sheepsfoot-style blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel, this tool is built for demanding rescue missions where reliability in emergency scenarios is essential, no matter the circumstances. Incorporating a rounded tip and a partially serrated edge, the blade ensures safe cutting through materials like seat belts or clothing, minimizing any risk of accidental harm. For enhanced durability, the black handle is constructed from tough G10 laminate.
CPM MagnaCut steel
Forged from CPM MagnaCut stainless powder steel with a hardened rating of 62-64 HRC, the blade delivers exceptional abrasion and corrosion resistance, while offering minimal risk of chipping or cracking. Finished with the Blackwash technique, the surface effectively diminishes glare and adds enhanced scratch protection.
Sheepsfoot blade profile, partially serrated cutting edge
Featuring a Sheepsfoot profile blade with a length of 82 mm and a thickness of 3.2 mm, this model is crafted with a full flat grind and incorporates a partially serrated edge for efficient cutting of tough and synthetic materials, such as straps and ropes. Equipped with a rounded tip, the blade is designed to enhance safety during rescue missions by enabling secure use close to the body of a casualty and minimizing the risk of unintentional injuries.
A KVT ball bearing system delivers exceptionally smooth blade deployment, drastically decreasing operational resistance and supporting swift, one-handed blade access via a thumb stud.
G10 laminate handle and deep-carry clip
Featuring a lightweight yet exceptionally durable handle crafted from G10 laminate, this knife ensures a secure and comfortable grip. The deep-carry clip enables discreet and safe carrying, with the option for dual-side mounting on the handle to accommodate personal preference. A built-in carbide glass breaker is positioned at the end of the handle, providing rapid window-breaking capability in emergency scenarios.
DuraLock locking mechanism
The DuraLock mechanism secures the blade firmly in the open position, reliably preventing any unintentional closure. Such a solution ensures safe knife operation, even under demanding or adverse conditions.
