IMO folders are machines and can be damaged from repetitive things like flicking it open and twisting it to pry(even if you're not using that much force) just as much as "heavy" tacticool use. Yes if you're in a survival situation you should use whatever means necessary but doing these things in your day to day life because you're too lazy to go get the proper tool makes YOU a tool. I open my knife, cut something and put it away. I don't twist/pry with it and I don't use a lot of force to cut something either. If I'm using more then VERY little pressure to cut something that means the knife needs to be sharpened. YMMV
