The official “things you can do with a sharpened pry bar thread”

[yoko]

For those brave enough.....

A men's private area groomer ......

You just have to have the balls for it...... hahahahahaha

 

[CPM-ROCCO]

Prying bark.

Convert a shipping container into a tiny home for human trafficking

This actually could be done although I have no experience in the trafficking aspect

 

[Fir Na Tine]

It's a master key

One of the best keys to the city in ZA Larping.

 

[Fir Na Tine]

Chunky is my preference!

That’s what she said

 

[Fir Na Tine]

Baton fire wood and do whatever else with the SPB and never have to worry about the handle or blade breaking... Including all those ridiculous YouTube reviewers who like to intentionally try and break things.

Good luck! This could chop a car in half starting from the engine

 

[Fir Na Tine]

Prop your front door open on a nice day. Just wedge it in the doorway and enjoy the fresh air!

Actually it could be used for this purpose if we need to ventilate a building. We like wedges.

 

[Fir Na Tine]

Or.... make a doorway wherever the heck you please

Yes, could be used for exiting or entering a building when you need a door and there is none.

 

[Fir Na Tine]

Honestly, I would go to the local pick n pull and smash the eff out of every car hood I could find. And breach every door open.

Yes, this is appropriate. Please use protection

 

[Fir Na Tine]

Pry a car door open, but this begs the question that if I keep it in my car and it’s MY door that needs pried, how do I do it? Purely a chicken and egg thing, hopefully the guy next to me also has one.

Use it to make a sheath.

Leather or Kevlar is the preferred sheath material for us.

 

[Fir Na Tine]

FINALLY THE CPK BOTTLE OPENER!!!!!!!!

Yes! Hulk Smash!!!

 

[Fir Na Tine]

Gift one to your local firehouse to share the mystical properties of D3V.

My hope is to get these on trucks and engines so that all the FFs in the firehouse can use this tool. It is my choice to have one personally it it is another tool in the tool box and a good excuse for more training.

The heft is part of its charm

 

[Fir Na Tine]

make a car mounted sheath so you can store one on the outside of your car. In case you lose your keys

Do one of those “Hide a key” magnet thing

 

[Fir Na Tine]

I can’t really compare it to Nathan’s other knives as it’s not a knife

With leather work gloves it feels great in the hand holding it like a knife. Without gloves is not comfortable for me.
My hands are on the small side of large if that makes sense.
BFK for reference.

The handle design was to be used with structural firefighting gloves that are a bit bulky

 

[Fir Na Tine]

Can use the holes as a (big) roach clip (or lanyard hole on any knife for that matter)

The holes are multi purpose.

I have one of these that has become indispensable. It's a "trim" bar, intended primarily to remove trim without damaging walls or the trim itself. Does that beautifully!

BUT for the purposes of this thread - kept nice and sharp - it is an "essential tool for shop and woods". For all the scraping and light lifting purposes previously mentioned and a favorite easy woods carry for: peeling bark, chopping into small roots for settling path stones or tree slab pads on a trail, chopping through other gritty stuff that you hate to use a good knife edge on - old rope, chaga or fat wood harvesting, among others. If you have one YOU WILL USE IT!

Setting stepping pads yesterday. Lots of 1/2" or less roots that need some removal from their muddy home. Use a puukko or a well tuned hawk???
NAY - use a sharp trim flat bar.

AFTER - trails are really wet this year.

Can confirm that trim bars are incredibly useful

The do it all 5+ in 1, not a multi-tool-multi-tool, sharpened prybar, knife thingy. Already, I am amazed by how versatile this tool can be in imaginative hands.

I love that you used it to cut steak

 

[Gravelface]

Buttered toast AND opened a MRE.

You can dig it
