EMS rescue knife

[BigMike]

Im looking at buying a knife to carry while working, something not too big and foldable, which is geared towards rescue crews. Anyone have a favourite or can recommend one?
These two look promising:

Both around 70 Dollars US.

We used the Spyderco Clip-It Rescue Knife.....Rappell Master saved one life with it by cutting a rappelling rope as the helicopter began to depart with a SWAT guy hung up on his rope.

RM did too good a job whacking the rope....and did himself an injury as well. They are sharp and cut like crazy...especially when the adrenalin is running in buckets.

Try this one, it's made by Remora.
Very good for Rescue Crew. It's a divers knife and we attach it onto our rescue harness.

Does anyone know the actual knife that is meant to fit in the knife pocket on a "US" style flight suit?
