Regardless of the frequency with which you see them, you may be wondering — what exactly does an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) do?

A proper EMT knife is much more than a blade with a star of life on it. A proper EMT knife is also a rescue tool. When selecting a proper tool an EMT or Paramedic, even a Medical First Responder, should think about what sort of job they do.
