      act accordingly is the key, part of that duty is to not to engage in activities above your level of expertise, you open yourself to liability and you could hurt someone, such as extracting someone with a neck injury
      first aid supplies, even a bag or shield or trauma kit is one thing, but tools to break glass or cut belts to extract a victim is another level that I would not advise, but of course only you can be the judge

        True, reason why lots of doctors and nurses do not respond, or simply drive by the situation. God forbid, but say I'm in the vehicle in the accident and I am clipped in. Seatbelts are malfunctioning. It's a long shot. It'd still be nice to have in arms reach.

          Actually, a Good Samaritan law does not require you to act in an emergency situation.  Instead, it shields you from civil liability in a lawsuit brought by the injured party.  This type of law is designed to encourage people to render assistance without fear of being sued for any harm that may arise from their aid.  It is not an affirmative duty to render assistance.  If I remember correctly, there are only two states in the US that do have a legal requirement to do so- Minnesota and one of the New England states, Vermont or New Hampshire, perhaps.  Since you live in New York, (you are in NY, right?) that doesn't apply.

          Of course, having said that, you may feel a moral obligation to help victims of an accident, which is entirely commendable. 🙂

            Ok, so I recently saw a pic of a Curtiss Nano (posted by anaesthetist I think), and whilst I'd really like one, I was wondering how similar the Boker Nano is? I know the designer of both is the same, but the Boker is at a nice entry-level price point, plus I'm saving my pennies for a Mnandi 😉

            Any thoughts?

                The Mnandi is a bit further in the future, so this would satisfy my 'new knife' craving…

                  Skip Böker, I'm sure Spyderco has a model like that'un… I've been checking their models... I'll see whether I can find it tomorrow...

                    The Spyderco Dragonfly is a good choice in that size/price range

                    I have the G10 version which is more expensive but is fantastic

                      The scales on my Wilkins-gripped Griptilian have been wreaking havoc on my pocket lining, so I've switched to EDC my Dragonfly G10 and I quite like small-bladed knives for a change. I actually just ordered the Böker Nano thanks to the pics of the Curtiss that were posted here :).  I doubt it will live up to the quality of the Dragonfly which really is an amazing knife, but then again it's half the price..

                      AIAN HA-TO!

                        Spyderco Dragonfly is the one I meant… Dear Lord the Caly3 super blue is really calling my name...

                            Guy said 350 quid (£)… That's 402 €... I can get a new one for 350 € in the States... But this one is NIB, plus I wouldn't have to proxy it, worry about customs (UK => Belgium), and the postage cost 'd be very low… So I asked him if 325 £ was ok... No answer yet...

                            Fingers crossed  :-\

                                I'll probably be getting a delica in super blue when it drops. I like carbon steels, even though they require more maintenance

                                    Passing on Caly3… Clip not adjustable, and the super blue steel needs too much maintenance... Focusing on the Ti-Lock instead...  ::)

                                        It's left hand/ right hand carry for the Caly 3, not sure what you're talking about, unless you want tip down carry
