After many inquiries about the SW 911, I found a great comparison site that really identifies and shows video of them in action. 

  

 Don't leave home without one

Hey Smokey,I did a bit of research on the subject and found this knife/tool.  I like it because it is one piece, has a full length serrated edge, prying bevels and a notch for gripping the plexiglass on edge and breaking it.  It will also look damn macho in the cockpit.

Here is the  link to this cool tool.BTW, if a bit of digging is required to extract yourself from an inverted position, this tool might be better than a knife blade.

Keep in mind when buying a tool to GET OUT of an aircraft after an accident (crash) you are in a confined space, an unusual attitude (possibly upside down).



An entry tool that is large and requires you to swing it probably ain't gonna do much good. That is why the spring loaded punches are preferable.



Entry tools are designed with the presumption that you are not space confined.

Milt,

Do you think a small axe would work or a tomahawk?

The totally honest answer is I do not know since I haven't had to bust out of one. I carry a pair of fencing pliers    http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-11353365108554_2110_177265569.jpg     for this purpose but really do not know if they will work as you need to swing them with a pretty hefty force( I assume) to break the canopy. They also double as a multipurpose tool for driving in tiedown stakes etc.



After looking at what iis available I think I am going to add one of these S&Ws to my cockpit.

Milt/Jim, I tested my SW911 on an old RV4 canopy and it ripped it open like a tin can. The retractable punch end was the surprise, went clean through on the first try. The side benefit is the serrated edge not only cut the plexiglass, it will cut harness straps quickly as well.
