I EDC a Kershaw Leek, and it gets lightly abused during everyday use. I know I should go to the other room grab another knife, but this on is already in my pocket. It's even worse when someone asks me to barrow my knife, sometimes what they do with it just makes me cringe. But so far the Leek has held up surprisingly well.

For the really nasty tasks, I have a Husky folding box cutter from home depot. I use this thing for scraping gooey / crusty stuff, cutting dry wall, wire stripping and cutting, and a great number of other uses I wouldn't even consider using one of my shiny knives for, I abuse the heck out of this knife, but I bought a 100 pack of blades to go with it so it's ok. I keep thinking I'll snap the blade in half, yet so far all I've managed to do is dull it or snap the very tip off. Then again I don't really use it for prying at all.
