HOGUE Trauma First Response Tool 3.5 Inch Part Serr Black Sheepsfoot HG34770

The HOGUE Trauma First Response Tool Black is built with purpose and precision for those who don’t just face emergencies—they respond to them. Whether you're a first responder, rescue professional, or someone who takes preparedness seriously, this folding rescue knife is designed to meet the demands of high-stakes situations with dependable performance and thoughtful features.

At the heart of this tool is a 3.5” partially serrated sheepsfoot blade made from Bohler N680 stainless steel, a premium steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance—especially in wet, humid, or salty environments. This makes it an ideal choice for rescue and maritime use, where reliability in harsh conditions is non-negotiable. The sheepsfoot profile offers a safe, blunt tip that helps prevent accidental punctures during emergency use, while the aggressive serrations near the base of the blade make quick work of seatbelts, rope, webbing, and other tough materials. Finished in black Cerakote, the blade not only resists corrosion but also reduces glare and adds a tactical, low-profile appearance.

The Trauma deploys quickly and confidently using ambidextrous thumb studs, making it easy to open with either hand—even when gloved. Once deployed, the blade locks into place with Hogue’s ABLE lock system, a dependable, ambidextrous mechanism that provides smooth, secure action and a reassuring level of strength under pressure. It's easy to manipulate and designed to hold up through repeated use in demanding conditions.

The handle is constructed from black G-10, offering a textured, non-slip surface that provides a solid grip even in wet or high-stress environments. Ergonomically contoured and built for control, the handle feels secure in hand and accommodates a range of grip styles. Weighing in at 4.7 ounces and measuring 4.85” closed, the knife is substantial enough for tough work without being bulky or uncomfortable to carry.

But the Trauma First Response Tool goes beyond the typical folder. It’s equipped with a carbide glass breaker for shattering windows in emergency situations, and an integrated oxygen valve wrench built into the spine of the handle—essential for first responders who need quick access to medical tools. These additional features give the knife real-world utility that can make a critical difference when seconds count.

For carry options, the knife includes a tip-up, ambidextrous pocket clip for secure, accessible placement, and a lanyard hole offers another way to keep it within easy reach or tethered to gear. Everything about the design reflects a commitment to readiness, durability, and functionality in life-or-death scenarios.

For those who want tools that are as serious as the situations they face, the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, is the trusted source. Known as the best online knife store, they offer a wide range of high-quality knives and tools for every need—from everyday carry to professional rescue applications.

With rugged materials, smart features, and tactical styling, it’s the kind of tool you’ll be glad to have when every second counts.
