A Knife you can pry with>> seriously

[JD Spydo]

How many times have we been told by not only knife manufacturer's but have been told by the grand gurus such as Ed Schempp, Joe Talmadge, Sal Glesser and other extremely knowledgable authorities on the subject that a knife is to only be used for cutting period.

Well as a few renegades have said throughout the years there is always an exception to every rule. I have discovered a line of knives that are literally designed by the company for prying and digging objects out of wood :eek: . I was just reading my new issue of "Primitive Archer" magazine and on page 21 they advertise a knife that they say can dig a broadhead out of a tree if necessary.

They go by the brand name "WILD STEER" knives. Their website is www.wildsteer.com Now you have to look at the home page menu closely because they have the site divided up into about 5 languages. They are so interesting to look at because the tip looks like a spade designed for digging a prying. Maybe there are other knives on the market that do the same as these WILD STEER knives. But so far these are the only ones I've seen that can literally work like a wood chisel. Check them out folks. I will be interested in your feedbacks. NOT YOU FELLY :rolleyes:

JD: They look cool....but not for nothing if you want a cheap knife you can pry with but still have a point, you won't snap or break...The GLOCK KNIFE, is the way to go....I have been trying to destroy mine for over twenty years and it's not happening....Doc:D

I dig the leather wrapped handle.

That's interesting DOC :) You know it seems like it was COLD STEEL that also had a fixed blade that people were saying you could pry with it and get away with it.

I had heard that the one knife they had with the hollow handle called the BUSHMAN had such a tough steel that you could do remarkable things with it. I have the big one and the small one both but have never taken them out of the box yet. I got a feeling we are going to get some interesting posts on this thread. JD:spyder: O

I have done a lot of prying with a Cold Steel throwing knife called the Tru-Flight and have never damaged it....but I do know someone who threw the knife into pine and it snapped in two...quite strange if you ask me....Doc:D

Glock Field Knife is a superb exmple of pocket prybar that will still cut. I love mine.

I've got one JD. It's S-5 or something like that. Not sure what its properties are, but the knife won't chip...period. I've gotten some slight rolling of the edge, and it rusts pretty easily, but for outright breakage, never gonna happen.

The one thing I really dislike about the Bushman is the perfectly round handle. I prefer handles that are more oval shaped, so I know where the edge is by touch. The round handle can rotate in my hand very easily.

It seems like all the knives that people think are usable for broadhead extraction and other prying chores are all made of carbon steel for the most part. With that being the case I just wonder if any of the TOPS brand of knives are known for those type of jobs?

There are 2 other neat features about the WILD STEER knives. They have a curved hook at the heel of the blade which is used for arrow extraction and they claim that it can also be used for sharpening broadheads. I'm not yet sure how this would work but it truly seems to be a neat tool for serious archers.

I just wonder if any other knife company has ventured into that market. These other knives you guys mentioned sure deserve looking into further.
