Wow, where have these been all my life? $12/$20?!? Which one do you like better?

And please tell me about that sheath in the photo.

The sensible option would be a sawzall and a prybar..... A couple hours fighting with rotted wallboard and stepping on piles of busted-up plaster and you'll figure out why.....Bashing soggy drywall gets old real quick.

No power to the site, but I do have a saw (a couple, actually) and a couple of prybars. I'm sure I'll use them more than anything else, particularly the prybar. I also use my car keys more than I use my pocket knife but I still gotta have my pocket knife or else I feel naked. And you wouldn't suggest I demo this place naked, would you?

The Klein Tools Duct knife comes with a nylon sheath But it fits the Harbor Freight (Buck 119 clone) sheath which is shown in the photo.

The Milwaukee Duct Knife comes with a plastic sheath. I added some paracord held on with range bands just to dress it up a bit.

In the photo there is a very nice looking leather sheath. That can't be for a buck 110. Can you tell me what that leather sheath is?

Edit: unless you meant the buck 119?

Duct knife?

Or whatever the dirt version is.

Both are solid full tang blades, I think I like the Klein a bit better as far as grip ergonomics but the Milwaukee is great also for a hard use work knife. You can get both as I did ($40 total) and compare.

You do demolition, so you might know the Estwing brand. They have this "machete".

Hori hori.

The hultafors of course.

You didn't say what it is. Is that the FatMax?

Sorry to break it to you OP and it will seem strange here but you don’t want or need a knife…right tool for the job is a real thing in the trades.

I actually agree . Totally .

No knife is going to be best used for this purpose . IMO .

I'd go with a big freaking wrecking bar . Way bigger than the 12" above , but same idea .

Heavier weight and longer length is your friend in this kind of work .

 

[DocJD]

Need? No. Want? Yes. I have plenty of prybars and even a dedicated demo tool. They're fun, but not as fun as I am.

OK , for fun demo and zombies : Cold Steel Chinese War Sword Machete with front edge mod/grind , sharpened .

Pry bar and drywall saw.

I think we have a winner. I need this sexy thing.

Come on guys, the man just wants some fun in his boring job. Let's suggest thing out of his job, therefore follow his requirements.

My suggestion of Estwing above, one of the best brand for construction and made in the US. Estwing is a crazy company. Their Hunter Axe is also a weird looking thing.

Their tomahawk is tacticool and also practical in the job.

And whatever this double axe is used for...

So a knife big, bold and inexpensive, the Cold Steel Drop Forged Survivalist 8" blade (Basically a Becker at half price):

I would also suggest a company called "Zombie Tools", but they are pricey.

Thanks for playing along. One thing, this isn't my job. It's a place I bought super cheap and can't afford to have done "right" so I'm doing the work myself, so I can still afford to bribe the building inspector.

 

[jayjaygee]

Done. I'm getting the Fiskars demo tool beast and the Klein duct knife. And a really good respirator.

(But by all means keep suggesting stuff. This thread is becoming a list of the most fun edged tools you can buy.)
