Untitled document Developed as an instrument for jump masters, to cut through the static line in case of entanglement, it has revealed itself as an innovative and versatile emergency tool for accident scenes in both the military and civilian environments. The tool is made of a central piece which works both as a handle and as the receptacle for two folding blades which are hinged on its end. The principal blade is beak shaped, with a scissor opening to 55 degrees revealing a third blade fixed to the central piece and with which it forms an upside down V. The automatic opening is activated by a button found on one side of the central piece. It is used to select and cut through static lines, ropes and belts under tension even when close to the body. The secondary blade, less specialized, transforms the tool into a folding knife for general use. This blade can be opened by pressing the thumb on the spoke fixed to the blade and rotating towards the outside until its blocking mechanism clicks in, this stops it from closing unless the lever incorporated on the back of the tool is pressed. This can be carried out using only one hand. The tool is also provided with a cone shaped spoke in tempered steel, which can be found on the opposite end to the cord cutter, this transforms the T.F.RESCUE into a glass breaking hammer. POTENTIAL USE For all those who in their work environment are subject to problems with straps, seatbelts and ropes; the first blade allows one to cut through the above materials even when adherent to the body without risking injury, a danger which increases when it is necessary to work at speed. It permits one to work with precision in situations such as: non detachment from the static line, entanglement in parachute cords, abseiling ropes, and evacuation from damaged vehicles. .
