The Raker Ring Tool is a key ring
emergency tool for cutting your seat belt, opening a small bottle of
oxygen, a pry bar/screwdriver flat tip, and to open your favorite metal
capped beverage. The slot for cutting is about 3/16" wide and can be
used to cut a variety of materials. Other uses include cutting various
strings and threads, parachute cord, braided fishing line, tow strap,
used as a gut hook for skinning game,
slitting clothing for access to broken bones or other wounds.

Sharpening the Ring Tool
I use a tapered diamond rod that was designed for
sharpening the serrations on knife blades. After sharpening with the
rod, I use a dremal tool with a small cotton wheel with polishing
compound to polish the edge. This produced a fine polished edge that
will cut. Since the edge can't be used in a slicing motion, this is the
best type of edge I have found to work good. For those that do not have
the tools to properly sharpen the cutting edge, I will provide a
sharpening service for them. Just send $4.00 with the Ring Tool and
that will cover the shipping and handling fee. You can use the same
method of shipping as you received it and I will return it the next
day. If it works out to be on a week end I am out of town, I will
sharpen it as soon as I return.
Each tool comes with a large split
ring and is sharpened by hand. There has been several of them carried
through the airport.
