cant find decent priced daily carry w/ belt cutter and glass break

[karz10]

subject pretty much says it all

lookin for a nice compact light carry folder w/ a belt cutter and window punch

like to buy a few, always to keep one in two cars, and one to carry

yes, i searched various key words, but not too many direct references or links to what i was lookin for

any help is appreciated

thanks

edit- to clarify, i dont want to look like a rescue worker luggin it around, i prefer black not so muc for tactical, but it blends in w/ black dress pants, stainless would be ok for car keepers, and i dont want a safety type blade, prefer a blade to be functional for multi purpose and SD purposes, make sense?

have you checked. . . . .

anyplace that specializes in EMT equipment? Some of the tools they use wouldn't make much of a knife but they look pretty efficient for use where seconds might count.

[coelacanth]

well . . . .

crap! :banghead: LOL

 

[BackwoodsFiero]

Let me guess, you saw the Surefire Delta folder, fell in love, then saw the $425 price tag

Trust me, I feel your pain.

 

[karz10]

ty for your response(s) coelacant

I suppose I am leanin toward more of a SD tool and also is practical for said applications

I am lookin all over, and will look at emt places, worst case may end up w/ flamin red mr rescue style for a car or two, but still will want a more subdued tactical type for carry

lol backwoods

actually didnt see it until just now was crawlin web for sometin and ran across it, would suffice for sure!!

yes i was lookin more at 10%-20% of its cost, maybe 30%, but not $400+

id just as soon buy a new glock for a few more $$, need a 26 about now

Well, for a tenth of the price of the Surefire you can get the S&S First Response designed years ago by Blackie Collins (Blade Hall of Fameer).http://www.knifecenter.com/kc_new/store_detail.html?s=SW911

It has a glass breaker and a seat belt/clothing blunt tip cutter at a price that would allow you to put one in several vehicles. The blunt blade tip prevents the person being rescued from getting stabbed when you're rushing to get them out. Believe me, that's important. (my flight instructor would probably be alive today if not for having his femoral artery punctured by someone attempting a rescue with a big ol pointy knife)

"Sexy"? No, but you asked for effective and this thing is.

Another option is the Spyderco Assist I not the II but it has a blunt tip so no stabbing there.

 

[Sharpdogs]

The Spyderco Assist is a great choice. You always get one of these for your keychainhttp://edcdepot.com/merchantmanager/product_info.php?cPath=4&products_id=82 and just carry whatever knife you want to go with it.

CDNN has the Colt folder/glass breaker/belt cutter for $50 or $60 ish

 

[karz10]

http://www.cdnninvestments.com/coreknnewfa.html I believe I see a Colt by Mots description seems to be like I was lookin for, thanks!

---

Thanks Sharp a little blunt for my specific quest, but good point about the small accessory option for our cars, for my carry, Im leanin toward somethin like cdnns colt, but I could see keepin an accessory in a car, thanks

-----

7 and hso - like above, good points about blunt bein a positive feature, esp if you will do a lot of rescues, I guess I was wantin a basic utility/sd tool w/ a couple extra features for an off chance it was needed, but I may buy one like I believe I want and reevaluate before buyin additional...

I really appreciate all the feedback!!!

[Mot45acp]

Thats the one

 

[BackwoodsFiero]

If its not too late check out the Eickhorn-Solingen line of rescue knives. German made too! I think I may have just found my next addition to the "sharp, pointy things" collection!

That's nice too backwoods, thanks. Not too late, still evaluating options.

Have you checked out the new Victorinox Rescue tool that won a recent award? Designed to be a dedicated rescue tool with a lot of neat functions. Not too expensive as well. That would be my pick.

 

[FilJos]

I have it...

I am an EMT and a Park Ranger and I carry a Gerber Hinderer Rescue Knife. It has all you want, and it isn't too spendy. ($60-80 depending on where you buy)

[Boom-stick]

That colt looks good I may have to get one, you may want to check the FOX rescue knives as well, some are lairy colours but others are much more subdued.

 

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

Get a couple of these for your EMT needs---and then go get a real knife.

[Regolith]

There's also the Swiss Army Rescue tool. http://www.swissarmy.com/MultiTools/Product.htm?category=doityourself&product=53900&

It goes for around $80. I've seen some reviews for it, and it apparently works fairly well.

However, its not something that could be used in a self defense situation. At least not well.

 

[Fosbery]

Benchmade ERT-1 has a folding seatbelt cutter, spring loaded glass breaker, pocket clip and an integral LED flashlight. Cheap too.

This isn't a knife, but it's cheep enough that you could leave them lying around all over the place.

I saw them try one on Mythbusters. It works.

 

[Piedmont Plinker]

saw the lifehammer tested on nighty news with the FD- took something like 57 hits to break the window. They recommended something like a knife and punch tool.
The Mythbusters one was under water, wasn't it? I think the pressure might have made it easier to break the glass.

Not much of a knife for self-defense, but it seems to meet a lot of other needs.
