Sharpening
Q: How do I sharpen the shears on the Raptor Rescue?
A: The straight cutting edge can be sharpened using standard sharpening tools at a 32° inclusive angle (16° per side), while the micro‑serrated edge should only be sharpened on the serrated side using a ceramic or diamond rod. Avoid sharpening the flat side to preserve the serrations’ shape.
Cleaning
Q: What is the best way to clean my Leatherman Raptor Rescue?
A: Use mild soap and water to remove debris, then dry the tool fully to prevent corrosion. A light PTFE‑based lubricant on the pivot improves smoothness. Avoid harsh chemicals like acetone or brake cleaner, as they may damage non‑metal components.
Q: Can I disassemble my Leatherman Raptor Rescue to clean it?
A: Please avoid disassembling your tool for cleaning, as this can affect its performance and may impact your warranty coverage. For full details on what is and isn’t covered, we recommend reviewing our official warranty information.
Maintenance
Q: How do I tune the shears for best performance?
A: The screw in the main pivot of the shears can be tightened or loosened depending on the material you’re cutting. Adjust as needed to get a clean, precise cut.
Q: When should I oil the pivots on my Raptor Rescue?
A: Oil all pivots whenever you feel resistance during movement and after every cleaning. This helps maintain smooth opening and closing action.
Ring Cutter
Q: What materials can the ring cutter handle?
A: The ring cutter is designed for soft metals only, such as gold and silver. It is not suitable for cutting harder metals like stainless steel or titanium.
Raptor folds down to fit in your gear without snagging or bulking. When unfolded, it locks securely into place so you can cut with full confidence—no flex, no give, just clean performance.
Whether you're cutting through clothing, breaking glass to reach a patient, or using the strap cutter—Raptor Rescue puts five emergency tools in one trusted device. Designed by and for professionals in the field, every feature serves a purpose in high-pressure moments.
Choose a color that fits your style, your scrubs, or your shift bag—from bold hues like South Beach and Raspberry Rose to rugged tones like Woodland and Garnet. And with optional engraving, you can add your name, role, or even a gift message—so your shears are always easy to spot and harder to lose. Whether it’s a reward for yourself or a graduation gift for the nurse, EMT, or medic in your life, the Raptor Rescue is both personal and professional.

"Clever design, superbly sharp, excellent functionality and a great piece of kit for emergency emergencies or any other use"
"They have changed the holster design which means there is only 1 mounting point on the side of the holster. Optimised for left handed people if carrying the holder on the rear of your belt, or have the scissors upside down if you want to use your right hand. Stupid redesign that didn't need to be redesigned. Thankfully only lost the scissors, still using the old holster."
"If you carry an emergency pack on your travels/ adventures then make sure that you include these raptor rescue scissors, they could help you rescue someone"
