I was just curious,How many people on here use their knives as prybars on a regular basis?It's nice to know a knife is capable of this function( as we all know Busse-kin knives are!) but it's not practical to argue about whether you can pry open a car door or ammo crate with the same knife that you may skin a deer with.I realize that the DMCG was designed to minimize the amount of different tools carried by a soldier who may pry with their knives frequently and are already loaded down with 50+ lbs. of gear.By looking at my CGDM I think it reflects this Idea,but my RMD or HR which are only 3/16" thick can pry very well in a pinch,and they will outcut the Mutt with their thinner stock.I use my knives alot more to cut things,chop,and sometimes maybe baton some kindling but rarely pry.Besides if you're talking about all of history I'm sure that a cave man would never even consider prying with his scalpel-sharp obsidian blade,which is made for cutting.
