The Raptor is a folding multi-tool built around medical shears, designed with input from medics, EMTs and firefighters. Beyond the 420HC stainless shears it packs a strap cutter, ring cutter, 5 cm ruler, oxygen tank wrench and carbide glass breaker, and it folds to 5 inches at 5.8 oz. It suits first responders, outdoor users and anyone who wants serious cutting tools in a pocketable package. Rivals like plain trauma shears cut fabric well but offer none of the extra tools, while the Raptor trades some hand comfort for that versatility.
