Pry bars are a hot topic in the EDC community. You’re either a believer in their utility or part of the crowd that sees them as a fleeting trend, arguing that a screwdriver or similar tool can handle the same tasks. The skepticism makes sense—we went decades without carrying pry bars and managed just fine. But times change, and so do needs. One of the main drivers behind their popularity is the tendency for people to misuse knives for tasks like prying, often snapping the blade. Enter the pry bar: a "blade saver" that’s become a staple, appreciated for its versatility. From opening boxes and cans of paint to popping out window screens, a simple flat piece of steel or alloy has transformed into an indispensable tool.
Overview:
The Pichi X2 is a robust, multifunctional tool designed to combine practicality and compactness. Crafted from premium Titanium, it balances strength and weight remarkably well, making it a reliable companion for a variety of tasks. With a weight of only 44 grams and dimensions of 4.25" in length, 1" in width, and 0.28" in thickness, this tool is engineered for convenience and durability.
The Rexford RUT has been around since 2011 and has been used and loved by many. Todd designed the RUT not as a replacement for your pocketknife, but more as a companion for it. Todd says that he abuses razor blades and uses them like they are free. He wanted a small blade that you could get in those hard-to-reach places, and not worry about getting it nasty. Using a blade that's small like a razor may be all you need, even though popping open your knife is satisfying it can be overkill, plus the smaller blade can be used in public without raising eyebrows.
With so many titanium pry bars out there, you would think the category has been done to death. With a slab of titanium there's only just so many things you can do artistically to give the tool more functionality. Well, the folks over at Ant Design have done just that and it's pretty ingenious.
Called the E-One, this pry bar comes in at 3 1/2 inches in length and 3/4 of an inch in thickness. This certainly is a thick boy compared to other pry bars out there, but it has a secret weapon. Some of the included features of the E-One include: a removable clip, bottle opener, nail file, ruler, file and prybar. The pry bar comes in a few style options; the pry itself comes in either brass or titanium with the option for an inlay of copper, brass, titanium or timascus.
