PM2 gave out

Personally I would never do any significant prying with most folders, especially if the tip is extra pointy (Native Chief, Military, and others). If I had to pry something tough and didn't have a pry bar, I would use something like a Busse 3/16"-1/4" thick fixed blade. Jerry Busse used one of his knives at an accident scene to pry open a car door - except for some scrape marks on the coating, the knife was undamaged.

A small screwdriver or any flathead bit weekends great as a mini pry bar. I've never understood prying with a knife.

I used to pry the door of my wooden fence open with a Mora Classic 2.0 on the regular... it was a significant lateral force.

It's these moments where peak knife appreciation occurs.
