GERBER
E-Z-Out Rescue Knives (Easy Out) 46971 - 46972
Continuing
its commitment to specialty, high performance knives, Gerber is
now manufacturing a Rescue and Utility version of the E-Z-Out™.
Each has a serrated sheepsfoot blade made of high carbon stainless
steel. This blade shape with its rounded down tip is ideal for
safe use around people and items where puncture with a standard
sharp blade point is a concern. The sheepsfoot blade is also ideal
as a utility tool, providing the maximum amount of straight blade
surface for general cutting tasks. Each knife features a yellow
handle with black Kraton® rubber inserts.
The EZ Out Rescue has the last 1/4 inch of its blade non-serrated
and unsharpened to make the blade safer to use around people,
rafts, or other situations where accidental puncture or cutting
may be a concern. The E-Z Out Utility has the same blade,
only the last 1/4 inch is fine edge and sharpened for precise
cutting chores such as scoring or cutting materials where specific
lines must be followed.
The EZ-Out Rescue and Utility will have all of the innovative
features that have made the standard E-Z Out such a huge success
in the knife industry.
Gerber E-Z Out knives feature an oval slot in the blade for easy
one-handed opening, right or left handed. The handles are made
from a mineral filled nylon. This makes a knife handle that is
more durable than a typical brass and wood handle, but is many
times lighter. Kraton® rubber inserts are molded into the handle,
not glued.
This process prevents them from ever coming out on their own or
with normal wear and tear. These inserts provide extra gripping
surface for opening and use. Gerber E Z Out knives have a removable
stainless steel pocket clip.
The RESCUE has the blunt , rounded,
point (no injury to person in danger), the UTILITY has a sharp
point. The RYA in the UK recommend the RESCUE for sailors and
rescue boat officials.
