    Remember the Camillus shroud cutter knives? These reminded me of them a bit, so I ordered a pair. I make no claims about durability, but both deploy smartly with push of button and clip onto belt loops or keychains with no drama. Less than 3" in length. 2 for $13. Handy for removing banding or cutting cordage. Not sure how they would do on seat belts.

    Very interesting, especially at that price.

    How many cuts of banding or paracord will they make before dragging?

    They would drag from the beginning courtesy of the serrated blade. I don't see much use with 550 cord as I use a hot knife for that. Where I think they would be most useful would be polyester banding straps and zip ties, and defeating clam packaging. Since I have two, one may be sacrificed for destructive testing.

    I use the can opener on my Victorinox for blister packs and cutting nylon strapping. It is slightly modified by putting an edge in it.

    Felix put a curved edge in this mod while I put a flat edge.
