Some years ago NRA sent out crappy little "Swiss Forge" onehanded openers as a freebee for sending in more money or up grading beyond life ( Guess I an now an afterlife member as well) or some such. They were the least nice looking of all the knives I ever got from NRA over the years. It had a thumb stud on a Tanto point or sorts blade and a Liner lock that was suspect.
Well as it cost nothing ( so if I lost it NBD) and fit my around the property needs so I clipped it on the overalss and have carried the begebers out of it. Eventualy one screw that held on the belt clip disappeared and then the other and it became a sometimes true pocket knife and eventually migrated to the desk drawer of un used pocket knives.
When I first got it two things I liked were that it had a auto glass breaker on the Butt and a seat belt cutter. Being the sort of loon I am I went out to the shop and found a length of seat belt webbing and had one of the kids pull one in tight while the other was in the vise and used the cutter and it worked!.
So to night I was looking for a magnifying glass in the drawer and there were the remains of that knife.
It occured to me that new it might make an excellent thing to sew in a pouch to place on a car seat or fixed end of a seatbelt. The more I thought about it the more I liked the idea.
So I googled away.... and got 47 Gillian directs to Swiss Army Knives, none anything like this.
I think the company that had them made offered them to companies for give away knives and they MUST be cheap. I would like to have one in each car and each tool box and one clipped to the shoe holder in the barn on the back of the door.
any idea where I should look?
