It's called a window punch.
Try Galls website and use the search feature. The basic punch costs US$3.99<ul><li><a href="http://www.galls.com/shop/viewProductDetail.jsp?item=FE001">http://www.galls.com/shop/viewProductDetail.jsp?item=FE001</a</li></ul>

Rarely called a window punch... main application is as a center punch for metalworking.
But the two auto parts places we have linked to do in fact call it a window punch, since that is the application they sell into.

Gee, I've never seen a punch+blade, only hammer+blade. Punch much better under water....
I posted a couple of threads about this, and why a hammer won't work under water, but a center punch will. Can't swing the hammer under water fast enough.
