Expert Fire Fixed

The two knives in the Dönges Expert series are specialized tools for tough and demanding rescue operations. What the two knives have in common is the scales made of red G10 with a non-slip Dönges honeycomb structure, blades made of edge retention and rust resistant D2 steel and a glass breaker. Both knives have multiple cutting edges that are uncompromisingly designed for cutting ropes, harnesses and the clothing of injured persons. The Expert series consists of a locking knife with two blades and a fixed knife.

The only fixed blade in the series has a double-edged blade. The underside is ground smoothly along its entire length. There is a sharp serrated edge on the back for fibrous materials. A belt-cutter is located behind the tip of the blade at the back. The tip is designed as a blunt lever point, but is deliberately ground thin. This means that it can be driven into very narrow gaps with little force, such as the gaps in nailed-up boxes or between the frame and door of jammed fuse boxes. The full-tang design has distinctive parrying elements, the upper one of which is designed as an integrated cap lifter. The knife fits securely in the supplied Kydex sheath and can also be secured with a detachable push-button latch made of fiber-reinforced synthetic material. The sheath can be attached to the equipment either with a modular clip made of stainless steel or with cable ties through the rivet-reinforced holes.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
