Benchmade 9CB-YEL Strap Cutter Carabiner
The Benchmade 9CB-YEL is a carabiner-style rescue strap cutter that keeps a concealed 440C hook blade ready on your pack, belt, or gear loop. Clip it on like a carabiner, then use the retractable hook to cut seatbelts, rope, and webbing up to half an inch thick. The high-visibility yellow Grivory body doubles as a bottle opener, so it earns its place on everyday carry and emergency kits alike.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Benchmade 9CB-YEL strap cutter work?
The Benchmade 9CB-YEL hides a hook blade inside a carabiner body. You hook it over a seatbelt, strap, or line and pull; the material feeds into the protected inner edge and is cut, while the blade stays shielded from accidental contact when not in use.
What steel does the Benchmade 9CB-YEL use?
The Benchmade 9CB-YEL uses 440C stainless steel at 58-60 HRC, a corrosion-resistant stainless suited to the moisture and grime of rescue and outdoor use.
Is the Benchmade 9CB-YEL legal to carry?
The Benchmade 9CB-YEL is a fixed rescue tool with a concealed hook blade rather than a conventional knife edge, so it is broadly legal to own and carry in most areas. Laws vary by state and city, so check your local regulations before carrying.
