Gerber Hinderer CLS Rescue Knife 3.5 Inch Part Serr Black Drop Point G1870

The Gerber Hinderer CLS is a rugged, purpose-built tool designed for those who demand reliability in high-pressure situations. Whether you’re a first responder, military personnel, or just someone who values a dependable knife, this blade is made to perform when it matters most.

At the heart of the Hinderer CLS is its 3.5-inch partially serrated clip point blade, crafted from tough 440A stainless steel with a black finish for corrosion resistance and reduced glare. The partially serrated edge gives you the versatility to make precise cuts while also sawing through tougher materials like rope, webbing, and seat belts. A sturdy linerlock ensures the blade stays secure during use, giving you the confidence to apply as much force as needed.

One of the standout features of this knife is its oversized thumb stud, allowing for quick and easy deployment—even with gloves on. This is a critical advantage in emergency situations where every second counts. The black glass-filled nylon (GFN) handle is lightweight yet durable, offering a solid grip with a textured surface that enhances control in wet or slippery conditions. At 5 inches closed and 8.5 inches overall, this knife strikes the perfect balance between portability and functionality.

But the Hinderer CLS is more than just a knife—it’s a full-on rescue tool. Integrated into the handle is a safety hook cutter, specifically designed for slicing through clothing, seat belts, or webbing without risking injury to the person being rescued. Additionally, the knife includes a dedicated seat belt cutter for swift extrication in emergency situations. A built-in oxygen tank wrench adds another layer of utility, making this a valuable tool for EMTs and firefighters who may need to act fast in critical moments.

Designed with real-world use in mind, the knife comes with a tip-down pocket clip for easy carry, while the lanyard hole with a punch adds another level of versatility. With a .12-inch thick blade and an overall weight of just 5.6 ounces, it’s built to handle demanding tasks without weighing you down.

If you’re looking for a knife that does more than just cut, the Gerber Hinderer CLS is the one to trust. It’s a knife designed for professionals who can’t afford failure, with features that could make all the difference in a life-or-death situation. Whether you’re keeping it in your gear bag, attaching it to your rescue kit, or carrying it daily for peace of mind, this knife is built for action.
