Spending a year in NZ - EDC Prybar?

As the title says, I will be spending next year in New Zealand. I've been looking up their knife laws. First, no switch blades, AOs are grey, fixed blades are bad but this is not a problem as I only carry sub 3" manual folders. However, caring of any knife in public seems to be a pretty big issue that could at worst land me a pretty hefty fine and some jail time or at best, get my knife confiscated. I'm not willing to risk it as I like my knifes too much, so I was thinking about getting a small prybar for the year.

I didn't find anything addressing prybars specifically, any New Zealanders know what the legal status is on these?
 
I carry a folder all the time, usually around 3.5". Sometimes in a zipped vest or jacket pocket, and when clipped into a pants pocket its with a subtle black clip that doesn't stand out against dark pants.
I dont wave it around, I dont behave in such a manner as to excite the local constabulary into asking whats in my pockets.
I have never had any problem. You'll be fine, particularly in small town/rural areas, particularly with a sub 3" manual folder.

Sorry, I dont know anything about prybars.
