Difference between rescue knife and other blades
We often get the question: "Why should I buy a rescue knife if I can also use another knife?". A logical thought, but a good rescue knife does offer some great advantages over a pocket knife, a folding knife or a home-garden-and-kitchen knife. For example, a rescue knife can be recognized by various distinctive features.
Most knives in this category have a blunt tip. In addition, they have a seat belt cutter and / or a glass breaker. Whether these properties are all present depends on the type of knife and of course also the price. One knife can be specifically intended for in the car. The blade of a rescue knife is often serrated. This makes cutting through clothing, belts and rope a lot easier.
The best rescue knife in your situation
In order to find the best rescue knife, it is important to know in which situation you want to use the item. A Fox Rescue Tool Hook after all, is different from one Fox FKMD Rescue Knife. The aforementioned knife is only intended for in the car, as a belt cutter. The knife offers a life-saving function and is therefore very valuable, but it also ends there.
The FKMD Rescue Knife, on the other hand, also has a sturdy, serrated blade. In addition, this very popular model is equipped with a glass breaker. If your car gets into water, this rescue knife also offers a solution. The innovative liner lock keeps the knife in place when unfolded. So you don't have to worry that the blade will unexpectedly snap back and cause injuries.
Can you just buy a rescue knife?
A rescue knife is primarily and very specifically intended to be used in (life) threatening situations. That is very different from a knife for hunting, on a camping trip or as a trainer. The law therefore distinguishes between different types of knives. Good to know is that all knives we sell are allowed under Dutch law. So we don't sell anything illegal.
However, in some cases it is forbidden to carry the knife on you. You can find more information about this on our page on legislation.
