Small folder with glass breaker?

[wesessiah]

I'm having no luck finding a Keychain sized knife with a glass breaker. Maybe there aren't any but I figured I'd ask. I want to get a Keychain knife for my wife to see if that keeps her from losing it, and a glass breaker would just be an added bonus. Something thin with about a 1.5" to 2" blade. Thanks.

Left is my James Brand keychain knife with (I think) CPM 154 steel, micarta scales,strong half stop, and the bail or whatever the holds the keychain can be used as glassbreaker (but it is small). Google this brand to check it out.

Just a heads up, in case you didn't know, but not every knife advertised as having a "glass breaker" actually has a true glass breaker. Many cheaper knives just have a pointed piece of steel that the maker calls a "glass breaker", but they don't necessarily work.

I hate to think of your wife, trapped in a car, trying to break the window with something that has no chance of breaking it.

This video gives a good example of what I was referring to and offers advice on choosing a true glass breaker.

I would get her one of those spring loaded things. They will open packets, cut string and stuff

And now for the fun stuff.
Skeletool do one. And has a carabeener you could attach to keys.

You can also just buy the bit. Which is $9 in Australia.

She has a dedicated glass breaker, I just figure an extra one on her Keychain as an extra measure.

A Leatherman Wave (my EDC) or about any other multi tool?

Buy a sparkplug. Drill a hole. Run a ring through and mount it to your keys. Best glass breaker ever!

Automatic center punch’s work well.

She has a dedicated glass breaker in her car, the main idea is the Keychain knife, I just figured a glass breaker on it would be an added bonus.

Serious question: would you have enough grip on a keychain knife to be able to use a glass breaker effectively if it had one?

Not in the least.....Maybe a woman's smaller hands will be different but then it comes down to mass and speed and location to actually break said glass........Not as easy as it looks.........Saw an idiot swing a baseball bat.onto a side window and it bounced back and wacked him in the chest..........HINT....... Pick a corner and strike there.

I caught a guy that was a regular 'larceny from auto' type. He knew how to make the pieces of a car window land outside the car, rather than all over the seats. He could climb in and steal without worrying about glass shards.

He taught me how he used a pair of mini Phillips screwdrivers. Whoa...nevermind.
