Using knife as prybar/screwdriver?

[Sep]

I wouldn't hesitate to use a knife for something I wasn't supposed to if it was all I had and getting a proper tool was an impossibility or a huge inconvenience, however it just depends... Like lava_lamps circumstance. I love my 930, and if I just needed to screw a battery terminal screw and was at home it is basically like weighing the cost of, "Well, might break this >$150 knife or spend a while sharpening dents and chips out, or I can spend at most a minute to go inside and get my tool box I left inside," but if it was versus having to go home from somewhere? Yeah, I'd use it as a screw driver. Might look around for something else more suiting first though.

I had to pry the gas hatch open on my car this winter because it got frozen shut. I tried using my keys but ultimately wound up using my Izula. Only other thing I could have done was left my car on the side of the road and walked for assistance hoping it didn't get ran into in the low light of a back country road. Just lucky I was keeping a can of gas in the car just in case I ran out of gas... Ridin' on empy and eatin' Ramen, college life was grand...

You can afford a $150 knife but can't afford a $16 Victorinox Tinker or a $30 car toolset (wrench, pliers, screwdrivers, and the works)? It's a question of logic and priorities.
