Here's my newest one from Raid-Ops.
Very interesting tool. The steel is S30V, but the cool thing is the handles. Made from thick slabs of titanium! The texturing on the slabs provides optimum grip!

There's a pry bar, saw, and bottle opener. This tool will serve me well when camping. The handles feels fine. You don't even notice the bolts.
 
Does it have a cutting edge?
 
It's a pretty thing. But I'm not sure I would buy a prybar made from S30V. Maybe not the most effective use of materials. If it does not have a cutting edge, I see no benefit in using an expensive steel whose primary strength is edge retension. just MO. But it sure is pretty.

You use a pry bar to open beer???

I was referring to the bottle-opener notch on the top of your pry bar... for my own personal bottle-opening needs, I tend to favor the low 10-series steels (1060 or 1055) ran in the low-to-mid 50's RC. S2 and S7 also serve very well when confronted with an especially tough bottle of beer. ;)
 
I had a choice in either 440B or S30V. Raid-Ops told me that those steels costs the same. Well, I though S30V would serve better for this tool.
Next is to get a real knife with the same style handle!
