Check out the Tusk, RMJ Tactical’s new pocket size pry bar. The Tusk is an ultra tough pocket size pry bar designed for daily carry. It’s made from CPM-3V and features a chisel style tip for prying, and as an additional feature there is a built in cord and line cutter. The 360 disc cutter can be adjusted with a simple turn of a screw, and it’s easily removed if you don’t wish to use it. They also include a titanium clip that can be clipped to your pants pocket, waistband, backpack, chest rig, vehicle emergency kit, etc.
You ask, “Why would I ever need a small pry bar?” The answer is easy, have you ever damaged your knife tip or edge while prying something? There you go!
I really want one of these, in my line of work it would be *super* useful. I however cannot justify the cost of $180. $50? Sure. $100 I might even consider it. But $180 is just too much. I understand that RMJ makes great products, and often the costs are justified in the materials and manufacturing processes but I just can’t fathom how they got to that price with this item.
Maybe Cruscible sells that steel at a premium? https://www.crucible.com/eselector/prodbyapp/tooldie/cpm3vt.html
(cannot find prices on the website…if you have to ask…)
Why not use a wood chisel from the home improvement store? About the same size and shape and certainly cheaper.
So I need to spend $180 to save the tip of my $30 kershaw blade…
Hmmm, seems to make great sense.
