He gets it out to cut that woman free then stops. What was it? I believe it has a lock on it and has a spear point blade.

A quick google using the above parametres suggests a Bulldog (Solingen).

Some lean towards a Puma or Hubertus.

In any event a traditional German type pocket knife, as made by several manufacturers.

I cant link to it (as not a supporting vendor), but one of the results sell a repro of the knife.

The publicity photo still indicates a folder alright.
But as since its somewhat obscured
I would leave it as some vintage generic pattern spear point stag scales folding hunting knife. Who knows it may even be a convincing knife-like prop??
But if it really is something from solingen, well.. they had a history of subcontracting manufacturing via their cutlery cottage industry so that a particular model might end up having been marked with tang or blade markings of various competing brands of the day :)

I have a Linder (Solingen) knife exactly like it. I think Hubertus made one too.
 
It is a Hubertus backlock series 14. While they still make non-autos, I do not believe this model is still available although they do make some that are similar.
