While I sincerely appreciate the compliments and recommendation by everyone for the RSK Mk1, if you're looking for a folding pry bar, it's not for you. It is certainly robust enough for typical survival tasks, but it is designed to slice, not pry. NO folder is really a reliable pry bar, but if that's what you're looking for, then look at something like a Strider (a real one, not the Buck version). You compromise in other areas, but it will stand up better than most if you're going to abuse a folder like that.
