NRS Pilot SAR Knife
Best rescue tool for swiftwater professionals and emergency responders.
This is a purpose-built tool for high-stakes water rescues where every second counts. By prioritizing a blunt tip and a one-handed sheath release, it sacrifices the versatility of a traditional outdoor blade to ensure maximum safety and speed when you need to cut yourself free in turbulent water.
