I have used it many times. The last time was at a downed Blackhawk. I used one hand/arm to support crew members still in the webbing while I drew my knife & opened it with the other hand & cut the webbing.
Also at Car accidents. It's handy to have one arm free to use commo or assist with stoppage of bleeding & employ the knife with the other hand to cut seatbelts.
As a youth on a farm I used the same technique to draw my knife & cut haybales with one hand while pulling the bailing twine with the other & shaking out the bale.
