Just slightly off topic but...

[TAB]

They have combo tools that are pretty cheap( <$20) that you can buy just about anywhere.  I think AAA even gives you one if you get a qoute.

I have one of these clipped to my car door alongside my wolf eyes sniper 260 led torch



the blurb

Defender – This particular model was especially designed for use by the Russian Special Ops. Police and parramilitary personnel. The knife’s low profile yet very heavy-duty design is aimed at military personnel who require a tough multipurpose tool, which is light and practical. The Defender also features a handy nylon cutting blade on the back of the handle which is a must-have tool for police, military, rescue personnel and others who are involved in motor sports. The glass breaker on the pommel of the knife is just as handy tool that can save lives in emergency situations.

The knife features liner lock system, which is considered one of the best solutions for fixing the edge in place. The linear lock keeps the blade in lock position even during very hard use.The blade features easy-open pins on both sides of the blade, making the knife universal for both left and right hand users.
Steel used in GZ knives is very similar in its chemical structure to the Kizlyar Z60 high carbon rust resistant steel. The GZ blades contain a minimum of 0.6% carbon and are heat treated and Rockwell tested to around 57HRC. Meaning that the blades will hold a good edge under stress, but most important of all they can be maintained and resharpened with ease and quickly. The blades are sharpened at an bevel angle of 35 degrees, which is the best working angle for medium to heavy duty work and is still relatively easy to touch up and maintain.

TAB, thanks for refreshing my memory.  Remember seeing one at AAA.  Will check it out.

sledge, I have looked at several knifes but uncertain about "Local Laws" when I travel and want an "unknife" type.

I agree with Mitch. We do roll over drills in military vehicles all the time. We carry seatbelt cutters but are not allowed to use them during training. We just brace ourselves and let gravity do the rest.

I hear you mate, but frankly I have had enough of the BS laws about what I can and cant do to last me a life time.
We are not supposed to carry a pocket knife unless we have a "reason" to. Apparently because I want to is not a good enough excuse. If its good enough for a crim to carry then its good enough for me.

I used to keep one in my car.  I rigged it up to the door panel.  It wasn't going anywhere if the car was upside down, sideways or backwards and was within reach.

I have seen the release jam once. It was in a 95 or so chevy 1500. It was in a head on crash, so it had alot of force on it. It happens but it is rare.
