GLASS BREAKER
The triangular extension at the tang
of the blade that’s used in the locking
system when the blade is open also
protrudes out the front of the knife
when the blade is closed. It’s intended
to be used as a glass breaker. So,
naturally, I had to try it. I went behind a
local auto repair garage and the owner
pointed out a junked car that he said I
was welcome to abuse.


Holding the closed knife in my gloved
hand, I punched at the lower corner
of the passenger-side window with
the glass breaker tip. The window
shattered completely, no problem. For
a fi rst responder trying to get into a car
or a civilian trying to get out, this glass
breaker is a good feature to have on
a knife.


OTHER TASKS
I used the GTI Delta Lock folder to cut
cardboard and rope, to slice through
steak and wood, to open plastic
