Need to replace your old, dull shears? Looking for an upgrade to your fluoride-coated scissors? Our 7.5" black TiCN shears are constructed with 420J Stainless Steel bonded with non-stick Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN) for exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. TiCN is eight times harder than the underlying stainless steel (we even coated the central pivot to increase longevity) and is far superior to fluoride or black oxide coatings. These are the same trauma shears that we use for our RS-2B and RS-3N models, and are guaranteed to fit all RS-1 / RS-2 / RS-3 / RS-5 / RS-6 models.

CE-approved. TAA-compliant. Autoclavable to 143C/290F.

The RIPSHEARS RS-1 RIPPER unit will bolt onto many standard 7.25"-7.5" trauma shears, but is optimized to fit our TiCN trauma shears. Made from reinforced polymer, stainless hardware, and user-replaceable tungsten DLC-coated 440A stainless steel razor blades.

Note: RS-1 RIPPER is not compatible with Clauss or NAR scissors without modifying the shears' lower handle.

Made in the USA. CE-approved. Autoclavable to 143C/289F.

When operating in the field, speed and stealth are essential to survival.  RIPSHEARS RS-2G maintains a low profile with our line of high-quality 420J surgical stainless steel shears bonded with a black Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN) coating. Ideal for those operating in urban, maritime, or other austere environments.

RIPSHEARS will easily slice through multiple layers of clothing, denim, leather, neoprene wetsuits, aramid textiles (Nomex, Kevlar, etc.), Chemical Biological and Radiological Nuclear suits (CBRN), bandages, sports wraps, plastic packaging, seat belts, tactical nylon webbing, and much more! The RS-2 Ripper unit features an integrated O2 wrench, stainless steel hardware, and our proprietary, user-replaceable DLC-coated 440A stainless steel razor blades.

After countless reports of first responders losing their shears at nighttime accident scenes, we developed our RS-3F FIREFLY as a high-visibility solution under any lighting conditions. Day or night, you'll be able to find your equipment. We added fluorescent orange handles to our 420J stainless Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN) shears and infused our reinforced polymer RS-3 FIREFLY RIPPER with Glow-In-The-Dark (GITD) pigment to provide hours of luminescence in low-light scenarios.
