The **CRKT CST Combat Stripping Tool** is a fixed knife for EMS personnel and other aid workers. It is designed by Kelly Rodriguez. Because of experience as an aid worker in war areas she knows like no other what type of tools you need to quickly remove a victims clothes. In the field she noticed that regular bandage scissors had their limitations. She decided to take out pen and paper and design the ultimate rescue knife. The result is the CST.


She chose a FRN handle that offers you enough grip. FRN is a strong glass fibre-reinforced plastic. Light-weight and offers you enough grip, even with wet or dirty hands. The tip just before the edge is blunt. It is designed as such that as long as you pull the knife up, you will never injure the victim. The edge itself is always sharp. After all, the CTS works with disposable blades. As a result you never have to worry about sharpening: simply grab a new knife when you notice the old one is getting blunt.


The end of the handle is shaped as a sort of wedge. Rodriguez came up with this to make sure you can open packages with it without damaging the contents. In between the handle and the edge you will find a key for an oxygen tank.


You can always carry the CRKT CST with you in the MOLLE compatible nylon sheath. In it you will find a pouch in front already filled with a replacement blade with enough room for more.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

The hardness in Rockwell C for a knife is always according to the manufacturer's specifications. When a manufacturer specifies a value of 56-58HRC, for instance, we always note the highest value, i.e. 58HRC.

We like to highlight what use the manufacturer had in mind, or what we believe the knife is suited for

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
