The glass breaker retracts until you hammer fist grip it to keep it out of the way.

Note: What I'm specifically talking about is a spring loaded center punch (google that term if it's what you're interested in) most of the ones that are combined with knives or strap cutters or pens or ham sandwiches aren't strong enough, but a good one will break a window safely and easily.

Very safe to use also IM......you don't have to swing it at the glass. Checked one out recently.......just keep pushing, click and shatter. Pretty cool actually! We use them to mark sheet metal to begin drilling.

Thanks, definitely have a bunch to look at.

Most people fail the tempered glass breaking because they attempt it in the middle of the glass.

I had one custom made for my Emerson Commander. Titanium backspacer with carbide tip. All in all about $40 for the backspacer.....

Someone sells those backspacers over-the-counter now for some Emerson models, don't they?

It's nice. Yeah, someone's turning those out now...I THOUGHT it was someone stateside but maybe not, it may be Nath. I'll probably get a few eventually.

Wish they'd make 'em for the karambit (can they make one that juts from a standoff?) and a Persian.

I really like those glassbreakers. I have one on my bastinelli made by lionsteel. Its the only glassbreaker I have used that didn't deform during use.

Yup. I carry one in my bag in a pen slot and have one secured in each vehicle. One other thing to consider with glass breakers is that, in an accident, you may have sustained injury that prevents a full arm swing, whereas you're still probably gonna be able to push against something slowly and steadily.
