Rescue Knives: Essential Tools for Emergency Situations

S.E.R.E. 2, adopted by the Operational Group of Italian Navy Incursors, is the development of the S.E.R.E. 1, created by a study group composed of Special Forces operators, martial artists and experts in survival techniques. This variant 2 has been revised according to the needs expressed by the Department.

The acronym S.E.R.E. refers to the four principles "Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape" which make up the training program provided to military personnel at high risk of capture.

The S.E.R.E. 2 is suitable for both tip and cut use. The unique grip, unlike the classic blades of this type, is fixed between the index and the middle, thus forming a single axis from the tip of the blade to the user's wrist, allowing its use also in reverse grip. The handle has the same ergonomics as the butt of a firearm; this grip allows an instinctive and immediate use, being able to easily integrate the training in the training activity.

The geometry of the tip ensures maximum penetration, at the same time its axial profile with a triangular base protects its resistance. The design of the blade has on one side a partially serrated profile to favor the cutting of cordages, and on the other hand a classic cut or straps that, unlike the previous model, has re-sharpening and interchangeable blades.

The central loop, which has the dual function of lightening and turn-crickets, recalls the maritime origins of its creators. The peculiarity of the knife is that it has been specifically designed to be used even without the handle; the two holes in the part dedicated to the handle facilitate assembly.

The kydex sheath has a basic retention that can be used alone for operators who need extremely fast knife use, and a removable locking lock if necessary. The knife is supplied with double safety for ambidextrous mounting. An insert with a flat-blade screwdriver is available as an accessory. Comes with belt clip for belt fastening and paracord for fixing on the M.O.L.L.E. system.

"Using the gun, knife or other weapon for us is the same thing: it's just the extension of the hand." Quote from a commander of the ward.

DMP is a multi-role knife characterized by a strong versatility of use thanks to the small dimensions. The blade, drop point shape with reinforced tip, is particularly useful for heavy duty use. The full flat rounding gives excellent cutting characteristics.

The sheath is minimalist, stripped of most of the fabric adopting a retention system of 2nd level, going to recall the style of the model to which it is inspired. The main shell is made by injection in shockproof nylon. The secondary retention system is reversible for the ambidextrous portability of the knife.
