Specifications

What you get

• Barely any weight — 0.062 kg at 18.5 cm long, so the kit stays light.
• Stainless blades — 420 steel for a tool that sits in a kit for months.
• Heat-resistant handles — plastic intended to cope with heat, with a matte finish.
• Dark coating — the anti-glare blade finish keeps the metal from giving itself away in the sun.
• Atraumatic tip — at the end of the lower blade.
• Cut dense materials — Cordura 1000D, thick leather, zippers, winter clothing.

Who it is for

People building a light first aid kit or pouch who count every gram: soldiers, volunteers who assemble kits and unit medics. The coyote colour fits sand, desert or steppe gear.

Who should look elsewhere

If you need scissors for the kitchen, the office or precise pattern cutting, this model with its atraumatic tip is made for cutting clothing and is awkward for delicate work.

Uses and compatibility

Stocking a first aid kit and cutting clothing around a wound. Colour-wise the shears pair with MultiCam, Coyote Brown, desert or steppe camouflage gear.
