CAT 980012 Folding Knife for Emergency Readiness
The CAT 980012 is an eight inch folding knife built for drivers and outdoor users who want a single tool for cutting, seat belt slicing and window breaking. A 3-1/4 inch drop point blade handles general cutting tasks while the integrated tungsten glass break and belt cutter address roadside rescue scenarios. Textured G10 scales and a stainless steel frame provide a secure grip and structural rigidity during high-stress use. The knife ships new and requires the purchaser to be at least 18 years old.
Legal and Safety Constraints on Carry and Sale
California Proposition 65 warnings advise that this product contains chemicals known to the state to cause cancer and reproductive harm. The supplier enforces an age minimum of 18 years for purchase, so buyers under that age cannot complete the transaction. Local knife statutes may restrict blade length, locking mechanisms or concealed carry, and those rules vary by jurisdiction. The manufacturer offers free shipping on orders of 75 dollars or more, but that threshold is a commercial term rather than a product capability.
Replaces Separate Rescue Tools in a Single Folder
This folder consolidates a plain knife, a dedicated seat belt cutter and a window punch into one compact package, reducing the number of loose items in a vehicle or pack. The upgrade is worthwhile when you need rapid one-handed deployment for both everyday cutting and emergency egress without hunting for multiple tools. Users who require a fixed blade for heavy prying, a larger blade for chopping or a multi-tool with pliers and drivers will not find those functions here. The design prioritises speed and simplicity over an expanded tool set.
