Please note: as of 31 Jan 2013 international postage has doubled in price. I used to be able to mail overseas customers a package up to three ounces for a flat $3. So the old way of doing things I could easily ship you three prybars and it was still $3. To do that now would be a lot more so be advised. For packages up to 2 ounces it is now $6.55 to mail it. It is no longer $3 anywhere. If the package drifts over 2 ounces, which three prybars would do, then it is $9.45 to mail the package international. So as of today guys I can no longer sell the prybars for the flat $30 to USA customers and I need to advise international orders of the increase in cost to ship these or my clips. This is out of my control. It is what it is and I hate it too. Everything I offer is now $37 shipped. Thanks
New pricing since postage went up. Basic mini ti pry as shown is $30 shipped as of now. Thanks for understanding. New for 2012 I will be putting the V notch in all of them. However, there is a catch. I ask that you guys try to work with me keeping the order quantities under 4 at a time. That seems reasonable. Its hard for me to make many more than 10 a day the way I do them and with the other things I have going on so when I get bigger orders it can stress me out getting behind and I really don't like it.

If you need more than 4 at least run by me your thoughts. We'll discuss it and if the day will allow it I may do it for you. It all depends. Most days I'm doing several clips and pry tools and it can be heavy at times so it all is hit or miss. Anyway, it would help me to try to keep the order quantities down if its okay with you guys.
I figured it was time to create a sticky for my Mini Ti Pry which I've been making for the last few years now. This way when folks ask about them I have an easy link to refer them to. So consider this the go to thread for prybars.
A few years back Lycosa, a member here asked me if I could make him a mini ti pry bar and showed me a rough draft of what he had in mind. I jumped on the idea because at the time I had a bucket full of scrap titanium, which was all end cuts that were too small for knife bodies and too thick for using to make pocket clips. It was a great way to use up what I saw as scrap. Well, that bucket of scrap titanium didn't go far! Eventually, after looking around at some pry bars I had in my own tool boxes and looking at others in stores I kind of came up with something unique that I could call my own. This evolved a bit further as I went, eventually becoming what you see being made by me today.
Most of these are between 3.5" to 4" in length and some may drift over 4" long. All are half an inch plus or minus for width. No two are exactly alike since these are done from scratch using raw materials. They start out as a strip of bare dirty titanium approx. 1/2" wide which came off a larger sheet before that. The thickness is .090 titanium plus or minus and I use the 6AL-4V knifemaker grade ti on these so they are the same titanium that I use for my folding knives. I can wrap them in various colors of para cord. Finish choices are bead blasted or hand rubbed to a satin finish or anodized one of many color choices. (note I cannot get black or red colors). See some samples of those found in threads on my forum here in the provided links or what is posted here by guys that have bought some. Oh, and in my blog link in every post I make too!

These are a pry bar on one end and a flat head screw driver on the other end no matter which model you pick. At request I am offering straight or bent on one end. if you do not specifically tell me when you order and pay the default mini ti pry will be hand rubbed and straight on one end with black cord wrap. I have tried to be sure these screw drivers are geared to work quite well for adjusting the pivot barrels of Emerson knives as well as many other light to medium duty jobs you may need a flat head driver for. While these don't set the world on fire for sales or anything they seem to fill a niche for some and can work in place of a knife for those of you in situations where you cannot carry a knife at work or in the office or to those that simply don't want to carry a knife by personal preference. I've sold these to office workers, secretaries, teachers and even law enforcement and security people who use these as probes for working crime scenes for digging around in places they would not want to go with their fingers. In a pinch these prybars can open boxes, pop tape, pry staples, lift water meter lids in the yard or hot pot lids in the kitchen, pop stubborn canned food pop tops or beverages as well as other things working well in many situations for folks that either can't carry a knife or just don't happen to have one on them. I've been told they save your blade for what its made for so rather than ruin the tip of your expensive blade to pry something use a mini ti pry instead. Point is, they do come in handy at times. I hear tell they are hell on the insides of washing machines so if you forget to remove the one you carry consider yourself warned!

Clean out your pockets before washing.

What can I say, they are tough little buggers.
Price is $30 shipped out for the basic model shown here. If you need to contact me personally: This email is also my pay pal address.

Let me be very clear:
I need to know these details to fill your order. To try to save on the back and forth emails and delay get your thoughts together before contacting me so you send me all this info and I can serve you faster easier and better. When you contact me tell me:
How many bars we talkin?
Bent or Straight bar?
Bead blasted or hand rubbed finish?
After picking one of those finishes do you want it a color also? Note it can be colored either way or you can skip color its up to you but either way black or red are not available color choices. If you want it anodized what color for the bar? (see pics for color variety of choices)
Finally what cord wrap?
Last:
Speaking of pay pal, please know that I do not ask people to pay me with a personal or gift payment. I don't mind giving pay pal their cut so pay normally for goods. Please be aware if you pay with your cell phone, I Pad or some other hand held the address never shows up when you pay and if you don't pay for goods the address does not get shown to me when you pay. Include it in the notes or it forces me to have to reach out to you to get the address and can delay shipping if I don't hear back from you right away.
