The Gerber Hinderer (brand part no. 22-01870) is a CLS, or Combat Life Saver, model built specifically for tactical and emergency-response situations rather than general everyday carry alone. Gerber coated the 440A steel blade in a stealth, non-reflective black finish, and built in a seat belt cutter, a window punch, and an oxygen tank wrench, three tools genuinely useful for a first responder, medic, or anyone who might need to act fast at a vehicle accident. It’s a purpose-driven knife that goes beyond a standard folder’s feature set for the sake of a specific, serious job.
