Good EDC blade for farm use

If your talking prying I think you should go fixed, your tasks seems strenuous enough to warrant it. Go with a RAT 3 or ENTREK Badger. If you have to go folding I think the Lonewolf Longhorn (or currently Benchmade Trask or something) The Benchmade 940 or 950 with it's Reverse Tanto gives you good slicing belly with a still strong tip too. The advantage of the RAT fixed blade is if you break it they'll replace it for free. Alternatively you could go with a leatherman surge, wave, charge. They give you a lot of capability to not use your blade for stuff it wasn't ment for, and leatherman has a really lax warrenty in my experience. All they ask for is two handles so the guy sending it in cant just send one handle at a time to get 2 replacements for the price of one
 
I think, a fixed blade would be good for you. For hard work, on the farm I would say, the Glock Feldmesser (fieldknife) 78 is good. Undestroyable! I use mine on my own private construction site. Slitting cenemt bags up, even as a crowbar. Prying is no problem.

The steel is easily to sharpen, but needs a little bit of oil because its in danger of taking rust. The price is very good, for the knife you are getting for. In Germany that austrian made knife costs just between 30 and 40 Euro. If it gets unsharpable just buy another one. Mine already keeps since more than four years in hard use.

Kind regards....
 
half serrated 950 rift. Reverse tanto tip, solid locking, strong knife, easy one hand opening and closing.
 
have you considered a fixed blade ?
one with a dedicated pry bar pommel ...like the DPX HEST ?

How about an Emerson Horseman? They are great knives and very tough. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that Ernest Emerson built the knife for farm work/tactical use.
