During vehicle extrications and structure fires, firefighters and first responders need immediate cutting access without fumbling for separate, bulky tools in turnout gear pockets. At the same time, standard utility drop points lack the reinforced tip rigidity needed to pry open fuse boxes, punch through heavy interior plastics, or puncture laminated materials. The Tac-Force TF-640FD integrates vital vehicle extraction tools into a dependable everyday-carry tactical platform. Featuring a 3.0-inch two-tone 3Cr13 American tanto blade, rapid spring-assisted deployment, an integrated seatbelt cutter, and an ergonomic black-and-red aluminum handle bearing an inset Fire Department Maltese Cross medallion, it delivers penetrative strength, safe emergency harness cutting, and proud firefighter tribute styling engineered for frontline readiness.
Constructed around a 3.00-inch 3Cr13 stainless steel American tanto blade, this first responder rescue folder provides reliable corrosion resistance and easy field maintenance. The blade features a striking two-tone finish combining a non-reflective black oxide primary grind with a brushed satin upper swedge and spine flats, engineered for reinforced piercing penetration and clean utility slicing. Built on a rigid stainless steel chassis, contoured aluminum handle scales showcase a matte black anodized finish accented with high-visibility anodized red pommel highlights and an inset Fire Department Maltese Cross medallion, delivering high structural durability and anti-slip grip control in a balanced 5.28-ounce build.
Engineered for rapid, dual-mode deployment, the blade opens swiftly using either an extended index finger flipper tab or dual ambidextrous thumb studs powered by a responsive internal spring-assisted mechanism. Extending to an overall length of 7.25 inches, a heavy-duty inner stainless steel liner lock engages firmly against the blade tang to secure the blade during active cutting tasks. The 4.25-inch closed handle incorporates an integrated recessed seatbelt/strap cutter, a large pommel lanyard attachment port, milled grip grooves, black Torx hardware, and a skeletonized matte black stainless steel pocket clip configured for right-hand tip-down carry.
