Opener for fabric handcuffs

Small and handy for easy cutting of disposable handcuffs. Ergonomic shape with an opening for a secure grip and ring for hanging on equipment or a key ring.

The recessed cutting edge prevents injuries during handling.

The front part of the knife is made of plastic and has a special shape so that the knife can be easily pushed under the handcuffs.

Handcuffs are used by the police, prison system, customs or private security services to carry out arrests and transfers. The possession of handcuffs by private individuals is - unlike most weapons in Germany - not prohibited.

The history of handcuffs:

In the Middle Ages, handcuffs consisted of halves of iron straps bent in a semicircle, which were fixed with locks or simple mechanical devices such as hammered rivets and connected to a chain. From the early 1860s, handcuffs with “modern” locking mechanisms were introduced. The first handcuffs with multiple locking positions also appeared in the 19th century.

On February 20, 1912, the still current principle of the bow arm, which swings around a pivot point through a double arch firmly attached to the locking housing, was patented in the USA.
