It's funny, i was just thining recently about a couple of my most recent purchases, the Spyderco Rescue 93MM and Benchmade Rescue Hook.....
i bought both of these blades in order to be prepared for any unforseen accident that would require cutting a seatbelt or other cord/strap to free someone trapped or restrained.....
however, in the past few days, the Rescue's seen more duty as a folding bread knife than a rescue blade, first at the local Longhorn steakhouse, then tonight, cutting off a couple nice pieces of crusty French bread
however, i realized something, i actually hope to never have to *use* the Rescue Hook, either to extricate myself or someone else from a vehicle accident, the Hook is a knife i purchased hoping that i would *never* have to deploy it, if i had to use it, it would mean something has gone *seriously* wrong...
so, what cutting implements do you own that you hope you *never* have to use?, have you actually had to use them for their intended purposes....
y'know, come to think of it, the Rescue hook would make a nice pencil sharpener, nice curved blade, put a smooth round point on a pencil...
no, don't use it, gotta' keep that one sharp in case i *ever* need it.....

I bought it specifically for keeping in my Maxpedition as a "just in case" tool. Yes, it does get used for cardboard occasionally, etc., but agreed, I hope I never have to use it in that "just in case" incident.
I hope that I never have to get blood on my chainsaw. If this happens it means two things may have occurred. 1) a chainsaw accident with my own blood all over the saw. 2) I had a bear attack and had to use the chainsaw for self defence.
