Hi Cam,
And welcome to the Ysrd!

I too have the Mutt for my needs. I love it and I'm sure you will as well.
And talk about a prybar? Yeh it's plenty thick enough to take a bunch of
trouble that would leave other knives broken in pieces.

About that Kydex,great idea for your use to open it a bit for drainage or debris.I don't crawl through brush or streams for a living so i can just tip mine over and tap! Great job! Enjoy the life of that Mutt!!!

Peace.
