Massive 6" x 1/4" thick S7 Pry Bar! This all business tool was designed for an Alaskan Oil Pipeline worker who needed something tougher with more wear resistance than what was currently available.

Here's the latest RF3! The scales on this one are heavily contoured.

The ring/recess around the pivot is anodized blue to match the backspacer, pivot screw/frame screw interior, and the inside of the knife!
