Raptor® Rescue
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.

"Great pair of scissors for my first-aid kit. I like how the the scissors fold up and easily fit in my kit. The glass breaker is a wonderful idea. The seatbelt cutter is a toll hope I never have to use,but if so I’m glad to have it. Yes I would recommend these scissors."
"I keep them in my vehicle all the time, mainly for emergencies. However, I noticed some rust colored discoloration on random locations on the tool. I put some Benchmade Blue Lube to hopefully stop whatever is causing it. Other than that they’re a great tool."
"Excellent build quality, however more time should have been spent on how to carry such a great tool. Some type of leather or nylon pouch working in tandem with my wave would have been great."
"I love the rescue shears, only thing is they seem to be prone to rusting very easily even after drying and taking proper care."
"I bought the raptor sheers a month ago for my ems job . Within one month of purchase they had rust on them, and continue to rust. I dry and clean it and it hasn’t made a difference. For the price I’m extremely disappointed."
"I kept putting off buying a RAPTOR. It now in my kitchen utility drawer. The handles easily fit my XXL hands, and easily opens packaging and cut twine when needed. The standard scissor are now in the junk box in the garage. A great product."
"My trauma shears do not cut even the simplest thing, anytime I try to use them, I have to ask for someone else’s due to it not cutting. I work EMS and when in high acuity situations, it wastes my time when I try to use them."
"Works perfectly had to use them only a couple days after ordering them and worked immediately just how they’re supposed to"
"These shears are built like a tank. Not like the typical shears from medical supply stores. Folds to compact size holster is a no rattle fit. Another quality solid tool from Leatherman."
"I love this rescue tool. It works amazing and comes in handy for my day to day needs in the hospital!"
