When lives are on the line, the gear in your hand matters—and the HOGUE Trauma First Response Tool Orange is built to rise to the challenge. Whether you're a first responder, a rescue professional, or someone who prepares for the unexpected, this folding rescue knife is crafted to deliver high performance, unwavering reliability, and rapid accessibility when it counts the most.
This serious piece of rescue equipment features a 3.5” partially serrated sheepsfoot blade made from high-grade Bohler N680 stainless steel. Engineered for extreme environments, N680 offers outstanding corrosion resistance, making it a top-tier choice for maritime, medical, and emergency applications. The sheepsfoot design provides a blunt tip to minimize the risk of accidental punctures during close-quarters rescue work, while the partial serration tears through seatbelts, clothing, rope, and other tough materials with ease. The black Cerakote coating adds another layer of durability, reducing glare and protecting the blade from the elements.
Smooth deployment is a must in high-pressure moments, and Hogue delivers with ambidextrous thumb studs that provide quick, instinctive access for right- or left-handed users. The knife locks open with the ABLE lock, a trusted mechanism known for its rock-solid hold and easy one-handed operation. It’s strong, safe, and built to hold up through countless cycles of deployment and use in the field.
The bright orange G-10 handle makes this model especially valuable in rescue and emergency scenarios. Easy to spot even in low visibility conditions, the vibrant color helps ensure that your knife won’t get lost in the chaos of an active scene. The G-10 construction is lightweight but incredibly strong, offering a textured grip that’s secure even when wet or covered in debris. Ergonomically shaped for maximum control and comfort, it’s a handle designed to stay put in your hand when the pressure’s on.
Measuring 4.85” closed and 8.25” overall, this knife strikes the perfect balance between portability and cutting power. At just 4.7 ounces, it’s substantial enough for demanding tasks but light enough for comfortable daily carry. The carbide glass breaker on the butt of the handle is built to shatter tempered glass in a single strike, and the integrated oxygen valve wrench adds another level of practical utility that professionals will appreciate.
The ambidextrous tip-up pocket clip ensures the knife is ready when needed, and a lanyard hole provides additional carry and attachment options. Every feature of this tool is purpose-driven, offering practical solutions for real-world emergency use.
