'hideaway' knife alternatives?

i like the Hideaway, and i know there is no cost that can be placed on personal safety... but we all know what its like to have a limited budget for items at times.

i really like M v W.

you can search by tire size and read reviews, specs, test results, etc.

i would stay away from goodyear, michelin; i believe they are greatly overpriced for what you get.

i run the same size on my STi (225/45/17) and on my previous WRX so i ...
