The Gerber Hinderer CLS is an exceptional folding knife designed to excel in rescue operations while remaining versatile for everyday use. Aptly named Combat Life Saver, this feature-rich knife delivers uncompromising performance when every second counts.
The 3.5-inch partially serrated blade, crafted from durable 440A stainless steel, offers exceptional cutting power. Its oversized thumb studs ensure swift deployment, even when wearing thick gloves, making it ideal for high-pressure situations.
What sets the CLS apart is its user-friendly design, specifically tailored for glove use. The blade securely locks into position with a standard liner lock, but a convenient release button on the handle allows for effortless one-handed closing, providing rapid accessibility and convenience.
Designed by the esteemed Rick Hinderer, known for his ingenuity and extensive background as a firefighter and EMT, this knife embodies a thoughtful approach to functionality. Hinderer’s firsthand experience in the field is evident in every detail, setting the CLS apart from other search and rescue knives.
Nestled within the glass-filled nylon handle, a wealth of invaluable features awaits. A built-in seat belt cutter resides near the butt of the knife, while a glass breaker stands ready for emergency situations. The handle also features a lanyard hole and an integrated slot that serves as an oxygen tank wrench, catering to the needs of first responders with unwavering thoughtfulness.
Whether you are a dedicated first responder or an individual who values preparedness, the Gerber Hinderer CLS stands as a testament to the heroes among us. Elevate your readiness with this remarkable knife, engineered to empower and assist in times of urgency.
