The Ripper (RS-1) unit is made in the US. The blades are made from high quality steel that is corrosion resistant. They receive a proprietary treatment to improve cutting ability and edge retention. This makes the RS-1 last up to 5 times longer than standard carbon steel blades.

The Trauma Shears are one of those things that don't cost very much but become invaluable when you really need them. The CTOMS™ Trauma Shears come in subdued black blades with your choice of handle color.
