No built-in sharpening—once dull, effective cutting power drops significantly. Not suitable for cutting through rigid materials like bone or heavy steel; designed for soft materials. Blade can rust if stored wet; dry after use and store in dry pack. Handles can crack if bent or dropped repeatedly. Scissors cannot be easily repaired in field; carry as consumable and plan replacement after heavy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it fits your kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGet-Home Bag layer.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pairs with Rescue Signal Mirror for multi-mode rescue signaling and response, and Tactical Pen + Glass Breaker for defensive cutting and vehicle escape.

Seatbelt webbing cuts cleanly with two or three firm squeezes. Test on a spare seatbelt if you have access to confirm proper grip angle and cutting technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are these safe to carry in a vehicle?\u003c\/strong\u003e A: Yes. They're small enough for any glove compartment or first-aid kit. No special permit required. Local laws may vary; check your jurisdiction if carrying in a bag or pack in public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What if the blade gets dull?\u003c\/strong\u003e A: Sharp trauma shears are designed for one-time or occasional use. Once dull, the fine teeth will struggle to cut synthetic materials cleanly. Plan to carry a fresh pair for each evacuation scenario or rotate them out annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCovered by the optional \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/guarantee\"\u003eWatchtower Guarantee\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stand Fast Supply Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67581857628389,"sku":"CJSD115112401AZ","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/2967\/8565\/files\/1622364283301.jpg?v=1790578145","url":"https:\/\/watchtowersupply.com\/products\/rescue-shears","provider":"Watchtower Supply Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
