Title: Northwest Trails emergency knife.
Post by: Chako on February 15, 2014, 05:21:03 PM: I picked this cheap knife for well...cheap.

It does feature a built in bottle opener, a glass breaker, seat-belt cutter, and half serrated knife blade that came out of the box sharp which is always a surprise when I buy something this cheap. Oh and a belt clip.

What's the hook thing above the thumb stud for? Looks a bit like the Emerson Wave opener except its the wrong way round, and it looks like it could be used as a bottle opener except the knife would pivot open.

Have you tried it yet? Maybe it doesn't open, even if you don't hold it. Do a carefull test and let us know.
