A combined writing and window breaking device (10) includes a pen portion (12), a biasing spring (14), a slide portion (16) that comprises part of the pen portion (12), and a breaking member (18). The breaking member (18) is cooperatively coupled to the pen portion (12) such that a user is able to slide the breaking member (18) from a non-biased to a biased position. When the device (10) is disposed proximate to a window to be broken, the user releases the breaking member (18) whereupon, the biasing spring (14) forcibly moves the striking member (18) into the window to break same. After completing the breaking operation, the user places the device (10) into his or her pocket to function as a typical writing instrument when required.
