My wife has completed her EMT course and will take the national registry tomorrow. She loves blades and really appreciated her Spartan Phrike (https://spartanbladesusa.com/Phrike-Self-Defense-Utility) that Mr. Carey so nicely rushed to her before she shipped out in 2012. Not to sidetrack, but that is one heck of a blade, Mark. Sometimes I sneak off with it whenever I hit the trails for a weekend. It has taken a beating and holds a good edge. Well done, sir.
I am curious if any of you have a recommendation for a multi-tool/blade that she could carry on the job. I'm not sure what features she would need since the only experience I have with EMTs is being patched up by them. I've browsed around this forum and the web. I've seen a few options from Buck, such as the CSAR-T (http://www.buckknives.com/product/tops-buck-csar-t-responder-knife/0091BKSTP1-B/) and the Redpoint (http://www.buckknives.com/product/redpoint-rescue-knife/0753FAM01/). My price range is up to $150. Ultimately, she plans to continue her education and wants to join one of the civilian medflight units as a flight nurse, so I can't raise the bar too high. :D With that being said, I want to get her something practical, effective and tough. If you have experience and a multi-tool/blade isn't what you would recommend, then please advise. I just want to give her something as a gift to let her know I'm proud of her.
Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
