Greg Thompson designed the 179 for rescue performance and less-than-lethal self-defense. The tool includes the Benchmade rescue hook design, a carbide glass breaker, O² wrench and the same finger loop and integral sheath design as the rest of the SOCP family. Made in USA.
Full tang 440C stainless-steel construction makes the SOCP Rescue Tool rugged and low maintenance. This tool features a single sharpened hook for quick slicing of seatbelts, webbing, or rope that allows you to cut only the intended object. A rounded back prevents personal injury during a rescue situation. The tip houses a carbide glass breaker for emergency egress/ingress.
