Multi-tools with sling cutter

Sling cutter

— in modern knives, this term most often means the so-called "safe" sling cutter. It has the appearance of a characteristic hook — folding, removable or built-in (formed by a slot in the handle); with such a device, you can securely grab a sling, rope or belt, and inside the hook there is a sharpened edge, which provides cutting. Thus, for use, you do not need to open the main blade, and the likelihood of cutting yourself is reduced to almost zero. As the name suggests, the main purpose of sling cutters is to quickly and safely cut parachute lines (for example, when they are tangled in the air or landing on a tree). In addition, it is convenient to cut seat belts with such a tool, which can be a real salvation in an accident.
