CRKT Combat Stripping Tool

Built For Medic Work

The CRKT Combat Stripping Tool is a purpose-built cutter for combat medics and first responders who need to get clothing and tactical gear off a casualty fast. Instead of a conventional knife edge, it uses a replaceable razor blade set into a slim glass-reinforced nylon body, with a cutter notch for belts and cord and a built-in oxygen tank wrench. At 1.5 oz it rides in its sheath on a vest or belt and stays out of the way until it is needed.

Features

• Replaceable Razor Blade — A 2.13 in (5.4 cm) stainless steel razor blade slots into the head, so you swap in a fresh edge when it dulls instead of sharpening in the field.
• Beveled Tip — The angled tip helps start a cut cleanly through fabric and webbing.
• Belt And Cord Cutter Notch — A dedicated notch lets you hook and sever straps, belts and cordage that would be awkward to cut with a straight edge.
• Oxygen Tank Wrench — The shaped cutout near the head opens oxygen cylinder valves, saving you from carrying a separate key.
• Centimeter Measurement Scale — Graduated markings along the blade housing give a quick reference for measuring wounds or lacerations.
• Glass-Reinforced Nylon Handle — GRN, a nylon polymer stiffened with glass fiber, keeps the black handle rigid and light, and the textured grip holds well in gloved or wet hands.
• Lanyard Hole — A hole at the butt of the handle takes a cord or retention lanyard.
• MOLLE-Compatible Sheath — The black nylon sheath mounts to MOLLE webbing, the rows of nylon loops on vests and packs that let you place gear where you want it.
• 8-Inch Overall Length — At 8 in (20 cm) long and 1.5 oz (43 g), the tool gives you enough handle to control a cut without adding bulk to your kit.

Construction And Carry

The body is a single piece of black glass-reinforced nylon, with the razor blade, cutter notch, wrench and measurement scale all built into the same profile. The supplied nylon sheath carries a CRKT tab and a hook-and-loop strap, and attaches to MOLLE-compatible vests, plate carriers and medical bags. It suits anyone who wants a dedicated cutting tool in a trauma kit alongside, or in place of, shears.
