Ahhhh ok. We called it a shroud cutter and it was combined with a switchblade knife and the hooked shroud cutter. Kept in a thigh pocket with lanyard. The ZDL was attached to the seat below 10k feet  so that on ejection, the chute was deployed automatically.  Long time ago......

Some of the equipment can be very uncomfortable particular the Survival Vest if he packed an extra battery for the radio.  I don't see the baby bottles of water or the emergency candy bar which we usually put in the pants pocket of the G suit. You ex flyers can look carefully and see if you can spot the E6B. Extra points if you can identify the "Shroud Line" device.
