Ruko Rescue 1.75" Folding Knife

A short bladed folder built for cutting things loose. At 1.75" the blade stops well short of anything sitting behind the material being cut, which is exactly what you want from a knife meant for a seatbelt, a strap or a jacket sleeve rather than for food or for whittling.

The small footprint is the reason people actually carry one. It drops into a pocket, a vest or a console tray and stays there until the day it earns its keep. Keep it on the side the free hand can reach, since on a rescue knife the strong hand is usually already occupied.
