What&#8217;s really interesting about this knife is on the back-end. You see that little metal tang? This little extension has become so handy on job-sites or around the house that I feel a little helpless without it (just a bit).<\/p>\n<p>This metal extension is often the perfect pry-tool for awkward situations. It&#8217;s not just a piece of stamped metal, it has a slight tapered edge which makes it far more useful that you&#8217;d expect. Need to open an electrical cover-plate? It&#8217;ll do it. Don&#8217;t have a screwdriver (or coin) handy for those slot-fitting applications? Now you do! Opening paint-cans, prying open seals, breaking the glue-seam on a cardboard box, etc. It keeps finding new ways to be handy and it often does it well.<\/p>\n<p>I was just on a job-site yesterday where an awkward panel in some office furniture just would not go back into place and I was truly stuck. Digging through the toolbox and trying different ideas wasn&#8217;t getting anywhere. I didn&#8217;t have my knife with me (lent it out) but I eventually had to go find it to give it a try and it was the perfect tool one more time. It really did save the day and I&#8217;m not sure if any other tool that could do the job, or do it as well.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from this, the slim lock-slide button on the side is a wonderful performer. It&#8217;s quick, reliable and fits better in the pocket than the screw-type lock. Everytime I grab a blade with a screw-lock I&#8217;m reminded why I like this one so much.<\/p>\n<p>And the grip! The molded rubber and tapered edges of the handle is really well designed. It&#8217;s just one more thing that makes this knife stand out and I&#8217;m constantly trying to keep this blade handy so I don&#8217;t have to suffer the alternatives that are littered about.<\/p>\n<p>It also comes preloaded with an ultra-sharp LBB-10 blade. Icing on the cake! These blades are a legend in themselves.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a great knife and utility tool and a must-have in my go-bag.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snap-blade knife with a built-in pry tool<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23728"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23728"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23730,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23728\/revisions\/23730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
