    Don't pry with your knife...

    Luckily I don't have to since PolarL made these for me. Awesome work PolarL. The XL is the newest one. The smallest one is on my keys and I use it a lot. And he also made this Ti bead. Way cool Mr. P.

    LOL I was dreading looking at this thread and seeing some poor knife blade snapped in two.

    I agree, little pry-bars are very handy (though mine are from County Comm, not as nice as having them custom-made for you ). I don't like having too many things on my keyring, too bulky in the pockets, but a mini pry-bar is just too handy to go without.

    Nice pic's , I like all of them. It looks like a handy tool to have.
    That's all I need, another thing to shove into my pockets.
    I'm gonna need a bigger belt.

    Nice Chuck!

    I pack a Leatherman Style PS and a Gerber Shard just in case. They make great bottle openers too. To get to the point I'm prying with a blade I've left those tools at home and my incisors have failed.

    Yeh, very handy indeed and as mentioned, saves knife tips. Although I did open a couple light crates with my fixed VECP just to put it through it's paces.

    The County Comm ones are good, though their shipping is a little high - more than the cost of one prybar if I recall. I tend to try to order multiple things at once if I am ordering from there to combine shipping, or while I am ordering something else I throw in a prybar also so I don't have to order one by itself if I find I need it later (they are handy gifts too ).

    I'd love to have a titanium one, though I don't know if it would perform any better, and I don't think I'd like the cost of a titanium one .

    I guess the price has gone up to $30 shipped, which is still reasonable in my opinion.

    Thanks for posting that link, Ti wasn't as expensive as I thought, and he has some interesting annodized colors. I may have to try one!

    Those are nice. But, I like my pry bar to have a ponit and an edge for various task that you couldn't perform with those.

    Prying is what my CS GI Tanto is for. Who cares if it breaks?
    But those are fantastic-looking tools!
