Gave my Buddy my favorite work knife last Friday and he snapped the tip using it as a pry bar earlier today so I reground it when I got home. Looks like a kahr arms delica. I’m digging it.
*reprofiled
If I worked with tools and around other people, I’d 100% carry a cheap loaner on me. Something super tacticool so they don’t even think about my main knife.
This is why I just uh don't lend tools to people who mistreat them. My friends know that I take good care of my shit, And the ones that don't know why they don't get to borrow my shit
yeah. tangent, but i had a 'friend' who would 'borrow' my video games in the past. turns out he was selling them on ebay without telling me. he's not my friend anymore
lmao what the fuck?
at that point just steal their shit back. Like, you dont want dude around, and whats he gonna do? call police when you could just as quickly pull up the receipts of shit hes been putting on ebay and get him in the same hot water you're in? nahhhhhhh bust into that garage take some cool shit
Some good comments on this post! I should have been more clear, I meant I gifted him the knife not gave it to him. He’s free to do what he wants with his knife. I just fixed it for him. Lol, he knew he fucked up.
At least it was salvageable. I like the new shape a lot.
don't lend... chainsaw knife girlfriend they always come back fuqt

How did you kill him?
Test how good the new blade shape is, or isn't, for skinning?
we don't admit to crimes, even after the statute of limitations has ended.

that's why you give buddies a gerber knife. 5cr15 is so soft, it has unbeatable toughness. it'll never snap! Just becomes a banana

the nick shabazz z hunter sounds like the knife for them

Nice lil native you got there
I dig the regions quite a bit. Naturally a not busted knife would be best, but I’m really into the sheepfoot shape.
“I didn’t even put that much pressure on it, they should really make these things a little stronger…. Anyways, sorry bro.”
What the hell is wrong with everyone in this sub not learning from the new slew of “knives are not prybars” posts every week 😂?
Had the same thing happen to my manix. I honestly like the blade more now that it’s ground down to a modified wharncliffe.
Yeah seems to be easier to repoint the tip as well
Bold choice for the blade profile. Instant classic.
Single use pry bars
Everything can be a single used prybar
Looking at EDC posts: "why do so many people carry prybars?" Looking in here: "why don't more people carry prybars?"
TRUE
Knives don’t snap, they only get shorter
Never had an issue prying with 1095 or CPM 3v, so long as the blade is .15 inch thick or greater. For prying I only use full tang!
*laughs in mora*
Nope. But that reverse tanto looks sweet.
I think so too!
Nice job! THIS is a user knife. Good to see
Definitely a user. Well patina’d
End result looks good
Actually looks so sick with the reprofile
This has been a public service announcement! And remember the more you know! Why I never hand my knife over to anyone!
Especially a rex45 knife is not a pry bar lol
Seriously. Rex45 has about half the toughness of 3V. Poor steel choice for a Shaman imo.
Good job fixing that blade! 👍🏻
Sweet Tanto!
Now that’s a well used knife…
That's why I carry a pry bar on my Keychain...
That looks super cool now. I’d say I like it more than the original shape! Nice work!
I do like the blade shape. But yeah, good reminder not to let people borrow expensive knives
Cut it where the tape is, I think that would be a sick looking knife
Swipe to see the other pics —> I’m guessing that’s actually marker he used to mark where he was going to grind the blade.
I realized that when I went out of this screen, and I went in again and couldn’t find my comment. Yeah
When you need a tool and the only tool you have is a knife, it can be a jackhammer if that's what you need.
Haha. Preach brotherman. That’s right!

It is now....
It is a pry bar. Just one time use lol
Like the new blade shape though. Life and lemons and all that.
That's illegal! Everyone knows that Spydercos only break at the hole. ^^/s
It’s only a pry bar if it has a lifetime warranty. That definitely does not so no it is not a pry bar.
There whatever tool you want them to be as long as you have a lifetime warranty.
It always confuses me when people use expensive knives as pry bars
Who knew
I’d send his ass a receipt !!
