The Benchmade 8 Hook Safety Cutter is a rescue tool built to cut quickly and reliably in an emergency (Benchmade part no. 8 BLKWMED). Benchmade makes its safety cutters in the U.S.A. alongside its knives, and the model 8’s longer handle gives greater reach and leverage. The hook blade is 440C stainless steel with a Cerakote finish, and the handle doubles as an O2 wrench. It comes with a black nylon sheath that carries a Malice Clip and is MOLLE compatible. It is a practical addition to a first aid kit, a vehicle kit or a duty rig.

Key Specifications

• Open length is 6.5 inches, long enough to give real leverage on the cut.
• The blade steel is 440C stainless steel (58-60HRC), a corrosion-resistant steel that holds a working edge.
• The blade style is a hook, which cuts straps and cord without exposing a point.
• The blade finish is Cerakote, a coating that protects against wear and corrosion.
• The handle is black 440C steel and works as an O2 wrench in addition to its cutting role.
• The included sheath is black nylon with a Malice Clip and is MOLLE compatible, so it mounts on a pack or vest.
• Weight is 1.43 ounces, light enough to leave in a kit without noticing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
