Nickel Escape Tool

The Nickel Escape Tool could be your last line of defense, or the closest tool at hand when you need to escape from an unlawful captivity or kidnapping situation.

The blade of this discreet escape tool is concealed inside of the coin itself. Its small but effective hardened stainless-steel blade can cut through plastic zip-ties, cord, duct tape, and other similar materials, increasing your odds of escaping unlawful captivity. It’s a potentially lifesaving tool for undercover operatives and even civilians traveling in hostile regions.

Coin blades have been used for decades by the world's intelligence agents and covert operatives, as well as alert, prepared people working in high-risk positions or dangerous locales. Now you too can be prepared for the unexpected.

This unique micro tool was engineered to be both clandestine and pre-positioned for deployment. The Nickel Escape Tool easily blends in with the other coins in your pocket and can be easily overlooked even during a relatively thorough personal search. With practice and thoughtful carry it can be accessed even with your hands bound behind your back. To deploy the blade, run your fingernail along the nickel’s side clockwise with the “heads” side up, and the blade pivots out ready for use. The coin provides a solid two-finger grip for use in freeing yourself from restraints.

Carrying this escape tool in conjunction with other discrete items such as the GTFO Wrist Strap and Bootlace Handcuff Key will give you one more potential advantage when the chips are down.
