Thanks again Denis

The Wenger SAK is great in its versatility , but won't be sturdy enough for prying and "dirty work" when you are in a desparate mode.

The SOG Revolver is also neat as a knife-saw combo , but again, won't help in prying/chiseling.

The SOG survivor , on the other hand, has potential. It looks like full tang with soem metal butt. If I can cut a bit of the tip to make it 1/4inch wide ( something between a pointed knife tip and 1-inch chisel tip ). This will offer the best of all worlds (for me at least).
