Pilot SAR Knife
Description
Pilot SAR Knife by NRS
NRS Pilot SAR Knife: Built for Swiftwater Rescue
Swiftwater rescue professionals need dependable gear when seconds count. NRS built the Pilot Search and Rescue (SAR) Knife specifically to handle those high-stakes emergencies. You get reliable performance that adapts to the worst water conditions. The asymmetrical G10 handle features hand contouring to give you a comfortable, secure grip even while wearing thick neoprene gloves. This specific design ensures you grab the knife with the proper orientation every time you reach for it.
Precision Cutting Under Pressure
Cutting fast without injuring a panicked victim requires total control. The 3.6 inch (9.1 cm) blade utilizes a blunt tip to prevent accidental punctures during tight rescue situations. A combination of a smooth and partially serrated edge covers all your cutting needs. NRS included reverse scallop serrations to help you sever tough synthetic fibers effortlessly. Jimping along the top edge locks your thumb in place so your grip never slips while applying heavy cutting pressure. A tumble polish finish on the 420 HC Stainless Steel blade actively defends against corrosion.
Rapid Deployment Sheath
Secure storage means your blade stays ready for immediate use. The low-profile Thumbs Up Sheath attaches firmly directly to your PFD lash tab. Constructed from glass-reinforced polypropylene with rubber touch points, this sheath uses a living hinge to stash the fixed blade securely. You can deploy the knife instantly with a simple one-handed flick of your thumb. For extra security in turbulent rapids, a lanyard attachment point at the handle tip gives you the option to tether the knife to your gear.
Multi-Functional Rescue Tools
Water emergencies require you to carry multi-functional equipment. A tungsten carbide glass breaker embedded in the handle tip allows you to shatter windows rapidly during vehicle extrications. The handle also features a built-in oxygen tank valve wrench right in the center so you can manage medical gas supplies swiftly on the shoreline. Please note, when positioning the pocket carry clip on your knife, you must use a #6 Torx Key. Using a Phillips head screwdriver or other tools will strip the heads and void your warranty.

Proposition 65
Safe Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 – Warnings Required
WARNING: This Dive Right In Scuba product can expose you to certain chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
We appreciate your decision to purchase Dive Right In Scuba products to provide the best in water experience. We take our job seriously! You may have noticed that our products now show a warning label at point of sale referring to carcinogens and birth defects. You may also have begun to see warnings related to carcinogenic substances or substances causing birth defects prominently displayed in hotel lobbies, hospitals, or other places of business recently. These warnings are required by the State of California, and we believe that an explanation of the California statute legislating the requirement will provide you valuable information regarding the relative risks of the chemicals that may be present in consumer products.
In 1986, the State of California passed the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act; otherwise known as “Proposition 65” or "Prop 65". Prop 65 requires businesses like ours to disclose to individuals the presence of chemicals listed in the Act prior to point of sale. The regulations implementing this Act have been amended over time with the most recent updates will take effect on August 30, 2018. There are more than 900 chemicals on the Prop 65 Chemical List, including many chemicals that are found in components of a wide array of consumer goods or are used to manufacture components that make up consumer goods.
Prop 65 does not establish acceptable concentrations for any listed chemical; however, the agency which enforces it has established what is called "safe harbor" exposure levels for about one third of these chemicals below which warnings are not required. These "safe harbor" are established for listed carcinogens based on the quantity of the chemical that would result in one excess case of cancer in an exposed population of 100,000, assuming lifetime (70-year) exposure at the level in question. A similar process is used to establish safe harbor levels for listed reproductive toxicants. Additional information in plain language on safe harbor levels is available from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment at http://oehha.ca.gov/Prop65/background/p65plain.html
At Dive Right In Scuba, the safety of your in water experience is our highest priority. We go to great effort to select materials that offer superior value, quality, and durability while also being generally recognized as safe and reliable for the full life of the product. Dive Right In Scuba also works closely with many regulatory bodies, such as the US Coast Guard and Underwriter’s Laboratories, to ensure the longevity of your on-water safety through targeted selection of durable, long lasting materials and components that undergo significant validation testing before being used to manufacture end items. Sometimes the safety promise we offer appears at odds with the health and safety requirements of other legislation in certain parts of the world when some regulations are updated ahead of others. To ensure compliance with applicable legal requirements, Dive Right In Scuba has placed a warning on products that contain a Prop 65 listed chemical, either directly or as a part of the raw material supply chain. This allows us to comply with California law and provide our California consumers with the disclosure required by Prop 65, while still promising the safest on water experience possible.
Dive Right In Scuba is working diligently with regulatory bodies and our own manufacturing partners to continue to continue to improve our product performance and reduce the presence of less desirable chemicals. Water is a precious resource we all share that is important to the health and well-being of our planet and all people. Our goal is to continue to enhance your water life experience while reducing our overall impact to the planet and, in particular, its waterways. While it is a bit of a juggling act to achieve, we are confident you will see continued improvement in both the immediate and long term future. We hope this explanation will enable you to understand why you will be seeing warnings on some our products.
Thank you for your continued use of Dive Right In Scuba products.
