Prybars that can cut

[rlewpolar]

My Cold Steel SR1 Lite cuts way better than it has any right to. It shaves hair, it slices paper, it cuts paracord like butter. Yet it’s massively overbuilt, virtually indestructible and can pierce most things without the tip breaking. A prybar that acts like a knife, who knew?! Let’s see your prybar that can actually cut

Give me a long enough lever and I"ll move the world.

Shaving hair, slicing paper or cutting paracord are not useful for evaluating slicing capability. You could sharpen a literal pry bar & it would probably do quite well on all three.

To test how well a blades slices, you can do things like cutting onions into thin slices, or slicing though a block of cheese. Slicing through thick, double or tipple walled cardboard works well too.

Fair point

If those are things you cut often, then they are perfectly useful for evaluating slicing capability.

Tops Steel Eagle slices way better than 1/4" blade stock with a low saber grind should.

I know Alone would most likely agree.

Disclaimer - I have thinned out the edges a couple of DPS, however.

If you want the best to slice thru thick materials , you need thin .

But wider blades can be fairly thick at the spine and have enough depth to be fairly thin nearer the edge .

So , knives like Cold Steel 4 Max can be overbuilt and still useful cutters .

I mean you gotta mention the Praetorian Ti if you're talking about pry bars, not my picture.

 

[Skar]

This will do the trick !

I use my Cold Steel large Voyager for slightly abusive things on occasion, and it does not seem to notice or care! Slices very nicely as well. The best large sub-$100 beater folder I can think of.

The Boker Cop Tool comes from the other end of the spectrum as a prybar that can cut.

Yup, Alone definitely agrees.

Best knives I've ever owned, hands down...







Whenever I read a post in which someone says that thick knives won't cut, these ^^^ are the first blades I think of. Are they filet knives? Absolutely not. However, they've done everything I've ever asked of 'em.

While I don't disagree that many thick knives aren't necessarily stellar cutters, these knives are definitely an exception to that rule.

This is my Wilson Tactical model 25, it was my daily-carry knife for many years. I used it at my shipping job, prying open packing crates, as well as cutting a wide variety of things like rope, twine, plastic compression straps, etc.

Then I used it in construction, specifically while inspecting old houses that I was going to remodel. I'd use it to pry old plaster and wood paneling off of walls, pry away cabinetry, and various other such tasks to see what was behind them, trace electrical wires, plumbing, etc.

I've also used it for other prying jobs. And it's sharp enough to shave hair.

The blade is 5" long, 7/32nds" thick, D2 steel. A little brute of a knife.

The Becker BK2 most likely.

I wish my sr1 was a good 1, to 1.5mm thinner . Fun knife though!

Big relatively thick heavy Kukris have been used very effectively for everyday household chores and food processing for a long time in places like Nepal I read.

God.lord , I had no idea that they looked like that in hand. What a crazy knife!

My Bravo 1 slices through its sheath quite readily

I did recently get a crkt siwi. Which I think does that concept quite well.

My theory was I carry a folder for cutting tasks. I wanted a fixed blade for jobs my folder couldn't do.

And it is going on a little bug out kit i am playing around with. And so just in case I need to can open a car or stab a hobo or something. It has those sort of options.
