I can see a LEO or firefighter carrying this on duty. But for a regular person, I am dubious. I would rather carry the German army issue Victorinox, which this takes about 50% of it's form, and costs about 2/3 the money. You lose the dedicated glass breaker, belt cutter, and the glass saw. What you do for emergency is keep the serrated knife sharp to cut a seat belt, and open the screwdriver/bottle-opener tool to improvise as the glass breaker (that tool locks open). If I am trapped in a car, I'm not taking time to neatly saw out a hole in the window like in the video. I'm smashing out like the Hulk. LOL!

BF_HammerI was thinking the same thing. Is the model of that one the Trekker?

phoenixsongLooking at amazon, I see some variations on the model I wish I had known about before I bought my German Army version. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001B197RE/ref=twister_B078GLWN79?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

I think I would have gone for a non-serrated blade black version for the $1 more. I don't have much use for serrated blades with EDC. I wonder if they were available when I bought? (visible on the link above)

BF_HammerWhen buying the German army issue knife keep in mind that there are reproductions out there being sold as the real thing. Those German army ones are decent but to avoid the risk of getting a cheap chinesium knife I opted for the Trekker which is exactly the same but comes with toothpick and tweezers and a near razor sharp partially serrated blade.

LefibonacciIf only. I did recently buy the Trekker with non-serrated blade and I like it much more. I have a SuperTinker from 1989 with scissors, but having a 1 handed blade with a lock is so much better IMO.

BF_HammerSuperTinkers are nice, I have a much more modern one from just the past few years. If it was a one handed blade I wouldn't even be looking for a new one! But I'd like a one handed blade with a scissor, and a punch would be nice too.
