Diamond Escape Quarter Covert OSS Cutter

Product Description

Diamond Escape Quarter Covert OSS Cutter

The Diamond Escape Quarter looks just like a regular quarter. But concealed inside is Diamond Escape Disc, a unique miniaturized titanium-coated escape saw which provides the cutting capability of diamonds! Despite its tiny size, the saw is easy to grasp and can cut most anything — cord, rope, tape, zip-ties, etc., increasing your odds of escaping unlawful captivity. Manufactured from an actual quarter, the saw remains concealed inside of the quarter until needed. The two parts of the coin are held securely together utilizing a rubber O-ring which is in a channel around the coin’s perimeter. To access the saw, gently pull the coin apart and it will separate into two pieces, enabling the saw to be removed.

  • The Diamond Escape Quarter was designed to be both clandestine and pre-positioned for deployment. Rarely does anyone pay attention to pocket change, even during searches.
  • Keep this along with some regular coins in your pant’s back pocket and it can be quickly accessed even with your hands restrained behind your back.
  •  It's a potentially life-saving device for undercover operatives and even civilians traveling in hostile regions.
  • Made in USA.

                Military surplus comes in a variety of different conditions based the three " " rule: What, Where, When.

                • Depending on what the item is will generally determine the amount of use and what it was used for. This is important because some items do not endure the torture of being in the field for prolonged periods of time, while others might.
                1. Ex: Dress Uniforms are not worn in combat, therefore generally, there is lighter use than issued combat/working uniforms.

                • Knowing where the item most likely was issued/stored will generally determine the environment it was exposed to. This is important because some items are exposed to harsher conditions than others, or are straight from storage.
                1. Ex: Uniforms & Gear issued in the Vietnam War saw extreme heat and moister, giving those items specific textures/smells/common problems, while the same items issued to troops in occupied Europe do not have those attributes (Generally better conditions). 
                2. Ex: Uniforms & Gear stored in a controlled environment (warehouses or similar areas) feel and smell different than if it is stored in a non-controlled environment (Random areas/outside/or exposed to elements)

                • Time is a huge factor, when something was issued generally determines the age of the item. As time goes by everything ages, this is the circle of life and it does apply to inanimate objects, like military surplus. Items will show signs of age, typically tarnished metal/fading/stains/rips/holes/rot/smell. The exception to the rule is NOS ( New old stock) items or ones stored carefully in controlled environments.
                1. Ex: Uniforms & Gear from World War 2 are generally made of canvas/leather/twill or HBT fabric, and are close to 100 years old. These items have more than likely seen combat or were reissued in the Korean or Vietnam Wars. Extensive use and the fact that they are almost a century old will reflect the condition & price. This applies to any era. 
                2. Ex: Uniforms & Gear from the original factory box, or items stored carefully in controlled environments will generally retain their durability and "new" look. The age of an item sometimes is not a factor BUT only when it is properly stored or carefully looked after.
