Searching for a UK legal rescue tool
«

With the following functions:
serrated cutting edge
seat belt cutter
window breaker
And as the title says, something the police wouldn't bother you about even if they found it on you. Anything comes to mind?

I would be more inclined to put one of these on your keys.

Thanks for the suggestion, but wondering if something can give me a serrated edge as well. That's the difficult part I reckon, especially with UK knife laws.

The legal part is difficult. Everything that I could find fulfilling your criteria has a locking blade. Those without a locking blade don't have the glass breaker. If I was going to carry something, it would be this.

Again, thanks for the suggestion, but over the top for me. I hate redundancy, so I would pretty much only want the three functions I mentioned.
Something like this:

Locking, would something like that still be considered a knife? Impossible to stab something with it...

There's a great topic with a 4 rescue tool shoot out:

They're not on the cheap side, I guess.

Thanks for the link.
Hmm, maybe if I drop the need for a glass breaker (since you can improvise to fulfil that role, e.g. end of a SAK), a one piece tool could fulfil need for serrated edge and cutting hook.

But if you have a blunt tip serrated blade is a dedicated seatbelt cutter that important ?

I set a SOG PPP up with a elt cutter and SE blade.Theres a thread about it over in the SOG forum somewhere.It doesnt have a Glass breaker,but will have drivers and pliers.I suspect you could build a Boker rescue knife by rebuilding a Subcom42 with a Rescom blade....

Handiniknaks do the Rescom,but it is a liner lock,where the Subcom42 is a slippie of sorts.Both blades have the same BB stoppers on them,hence my thoughts that they can be mated.Technically the Rescom is still not fully legal for EDC

i would hope though, that any law enforcement officer looking at the rescom blade would know its a rescue blade, and couldnt be used as a stabbing implement.
Dunno if the excuse would work that I am doctor, and as such, if I saw someone in an emergency situation, I may need to remove clothing to administer CPR, which is why I carry such a thing...
