Pry bars and Knives

[Bill1170]

One big advantage to a separate pry at is that you can pry with one hand while cutting with a knife held in the other hand. Kind of similar to the situation with a flashlight.

This idea is what the Cliptool with the bottle opener is.

It is similar. I was thinking of manix2xl, battlestation etc... more of a hard use situation. As Sal and others have said, its really not the easiest concept. Also it's kind of gimmicky, wouldn't be widely accepted, I accept that :) I do think the idea has merit among some and may offer more than just a pry bar. I.E. being able to remove the clip easily for extended cutting chores. Albeit the clip rarely bothers me, I do think it would be nice to remove it all together during extended use.

True

It's happened to me. Prying up stuff that needed to be cut as well.

To me, having a Manix 2 XL with a pry bar attached and having a Manix 2 XL in my pocket and a Cliptool in my watch pocket is too small of a difference to give a lot of attention.

I love this lanyard. Is there a good instructional vid on how to tie lanyards like this (the one on the PM2)? I know it looks simple... But I've tried (and I've searched for videos), but my lanyards (other than crown sinnett) look like crap.

[Donut]

It could be a variation of this: Now that I look at it, it looks like he took out the inner strands, it looks somewhat hollow.

Yes Donut, You're right :) this is Reeve Coil Knot made with paracord with removed core strings.

[Knutty]

Thank you both.
