Most of my knives are capable of careful , moderate prying .Well... we do!!
Don't think that it can't happen to your knife.

Exactly right. I picture the ones with the little decorative pry bars are of the office type. Which is nothing wrong with that. But I sure as hell can't picture doing actual manual labor with one. Like when I bust a boiler apart to replace, that little thing would bend in half, titanium or not lol. But whatever floats your boat as I always say !The top knife had decorative cuts in the blade ...was begging to be broken !

My SAK's and multi-tools all have something to pry with .
I have lots of pryers in the shop and keep a 42" Stanley wrecking bar in the SUV .
Most of those fancy Ti keychain and tiny pocket devises don't appear worth the pocket real estate taken up , IMO .
Yeah you're right. But I have several tool bags loaded up with everything I need with me at all times. But like I said, we all roll differently. That's what makes this world interesting !Stuff can break when we least expect it to...
or want it to!
There's a lot of tiny pry bar tools out there that are less than awesome, but at least they wasted good titanium on them. If there's no screwdriver handy to abuse, the tool I really like is the Boker Plus Cop Tool. Not only is it a 6" bar for actual leverage and has a G10 handle, but it's also designed for other functions, like a belt cutter.
That's cute! Does it come in adult sizes also?There's a lot of tiny pry bar tools out there that are less than awesome, but at least they wasted good titanium on them.

do ya use the flathead screw driver for that task? thats what I use on light prying.I carry a Swiss Army knife for prying things. People that spend hundreds of dollars on fancy titanium pry bars sure like spending money unnecessarily, IMHO.
I have a cadet with a nail file. I use the flathead for things like paint can lids and similar. I use the nail file part for smaller more delicate things. Last used it to remove a tub drain cover.do ya use the flathead screw driver for that task? thats what I use on light prying.
I'm not against them, just i already carry too much dont want another thing on the Keychain or in the pocket.
This is true. Today I was at Bass Pro and they had the Gerber Dime on sale. I’ve been eyeing a smaller EDC multi tool and really don’t want to support Leatherman. I grabbed one for me and another for my 18 yr son who works as an automotive tech. I took two steps, turned around, and put the one for him back on the rack. He has enough tools in his car to make that Dime look like a joke.Yeah you're right. But I have several tool bags loaded up with everything I need with me at all times.
