Benchmade 8 Safety Cutter 8BLKWADC – Rescue Hook with MOLLE Compatible Sheath
The Benchmade 8 Safety Cutter 8BLKWADC is a dedicated rescue hook, built to cut seatbelts, webbing, straps, and clothing quickly and reliably in an emergency without exposing a blade point. The 440C stainless hook keeps its 0.50" cutting edge behind a narrow 0.050" blade opening, so material feeds into the edge while fingers and skin stay clear. This version pairs the black cutter with an ADC colored MOLLE compatible sheath that mounts to vests, packs, and duty gear. Benchmade makes its safety cutters in the USA alongside its knives.
