Think of scribbing a big X in the glass and then giving it the boot! Actually, I think the side glass would be easier to fracture as the front windshield is a laminate that is more resistant to disintegrating.

Matt, I am not sure they are avalible CONUS yet. If you wait until I get my review of Rescue Knives up you may find a different one you would rather spend money on <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I liked your review about the Hinderer. But I have a hard time finding it in Europe.

I'm really looking forward to you review. Have you got any rough estimate when we can expect the review ?

I've seen them here. But then again, if you are going to buy gear here in Europe you're a thief of your own wallet.

I'm guessing the bottle opener was useful prior to the car crash rather than afterwards <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I'm not fond of multi function "Rescue" knives.
An open knife blade is an unecessary added danger for the casualties AND the rescuers at an RTC (MVA), especially when safer tools are readily available - and cheaper. (EMT shears / dedicated safety blade seatbelt cutter / ResQMe)

I carry a plain edged Spyderco Endura for general use and a ResQMe for the cutting of clothing, straps, netting and thin line (fishing line) in close proximity to people or animals.

As a passer-by, it is extremely unlikely that you will have any need to saw a screen. Access will be available by either a door or one of the toughened glass windows. For this the ResQMe is the ideal tool.
I keep one in my car, one attached to my fire jacket and have one that I carry in my pocket if I'm travelling by public transport . 3 ResQMes - that still cost less than one Victorinox Rescue tool.
