HOGUE Trauma First Response Tool 3.4 Inch Plain Black Sheepsfoot HG34779

The HOGUE Trauma First Response Tool Plain Black is built for one mission—be ready when everything is on the line. Designed with first responders and rescue professionals in mind, this folding rescue knife brings together precision engineering, high-performance materials, and life-saving features in one compact, reliable tool that’s always within reach.

At its core is a 3.4” plain edge sheepsfoot blade crafted from premium Bohler N680 stainless steel. Known for its excellent corrosion resistance, N680 is perfect for unpredictable environments—whether you’re cutting through tough webbing in a flood zone or slicing clothing in an emergency medical scenario. The sheepsfoot profile keeps things safe with a blunt tip that reduces the risk of puncture, while the straight edge gives you clean, controlled cuts every time. Finished in a sleek black Cerakote coating, the blade is protected from wear and glare, giving it both tactical appeal and long-lasting durability.

Quick, intuitive access is a must in high-stress moments, and the ambidextrous thumb studs make deployment smooth and easy, whether you’re left- or right-handed. Once open, Hogue’s ABLE lock keeps the blade solidly in place. Known for its strength and reliability, this locking mechanism offers secure performance while allowing for easy one-handed closure when speed and efficiency matter most.

The handle is constructed from black G-10—a tough, lightweight material known for its exceptional grip and resilience. The handle's ergonomic shape ensures comfort and control, even during extended use or when working in wet, slippery conditions. Whether you're wearing gloves or going barehanded, the texture and shape of the handle offer confidence with every grip.

Measuring 4.85” closed and 8.25” overall, the knife is compact enough for everyday carry yet long enough to deliver power when you need it. At just 4.7 ounces, it won’t weigh you down, making it a practical companion for daily duty, rescue bags, or field kits. The ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip allows for comfortable carry on either side, while a lanyard hole offers another convenient option for attaching to gear or a vest.

But the Trauma Tool doesn’t stop at just being a great knife—it’s a fully integrated rescue solution. On the end of the handle, you’ll find a carbide glass breaker capable of shattering car windows with a single strike, ideal for extrication scenarios. Built into the frame is an oxygen valve wrench, giving medical professionals a fast, reliable way to adjust or open oxygen tanks without fumbling for extra tools.

This tool represents everything you want in an emergency folder—sharp, safe, durable, and multi-functional. It’s the kind of gear you carry hoping you’ll never need it, but knowing you’re completely prepared if you do.
