The Escape Button™ is manufactured from a standard mil-spec 3/4 inch diameter plastic BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) button. It does, however, have one little feature that makes it a bit different from other buttons — it can instantly transform into a knife with a fiercely aggressive serrated blade! Running your fingernail along the button’s perimeter causes the blade to pivot out of the button’s interior. The button now functions as the knife handle, providing a positive grip with excellent control.
Despite its tiny size, the 7/16 inch serrated 1095 steel blade offers extreme cutting ability which can cut zip-ties, cord, rope, tape, organic materials, etc., increasing your chances of escape. The Escape Button™ typically is sewn onto clothing, although it can also be carried inconspicuously in a pocket. Use low breaking-strength thread and install in locations that the button can be reached and yanked off even while your wrists are bound behind your back – areas such as waistband, back or leg pockets, or pant leg hem (just bend your knee up to bring the button right to your hands).
