Your safety shears are the most important item in your kit. They are the one item that you must have so you can do everything in your power never to use. Shit happens, we know it does, and we must be prepared if it comes our way.
These EMT Shears are used by emergency medical professionals. They cut rope like butter. The notch at the tip is designed to peel away cloths (or, in this case, rope) away from the skin, preventing you from accidentally cutting your partner along with your rope, if the worst happens.
