Amazon.com Product Description
The Victorinox Rescue Tool was developed and perfected in conjunction with emergency medical and rescue services in a five-year project. All parts have been subject to stringent tests, particularly the new window breaker and disc saw tools. The Rescue Tool includes the most essential functions for freeing a person from a disabled vehicle including a rounded belt cutter which can be used to safely cut through a seat belt. All tools that have to be available quickly can be opened wearing gloves and are suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users. The one-handed blade and strong screwdriver (crate opener) are fixed in position when open thanks to the liner lock mechanism. The look of the Rescue Tool is unique as well with its luminescent yellow grip shells and bright red and yellow nylon case. Features: - One-handed blade

About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

This is a great piece. I got it for my father in law. Its a sturdy knife and appears more than durable. The victorinox website lays out all of the features but it doesnt describe the size. This is a big knife. The blade is big, the seatbelt cutter is big, the grip is big. Its larger and thicker than a standard pocket knife because thats not what its intended for. That being said the grip fits comfortably in hand and it comes with a nylon case with belt loop. I wouldnt recommend trying to take it on a plane or anywhere where you might get frisked, as due to the size, authorities might mistake it for a weapon. But as an in car safety tool, I dont think you could ask for more.
I also want to note that the Chelsea Watch Co., whom I purchased the knife from, was excellent. I ordered the knife on monday, asked for expedited shipping, and had it in hand when I got home from work on wednesday. Not only that, but they were the only ones who had the knife in stock anywhere in NY or on websites that I could find.
This gets my full endorsement.
