Knives are for cutting, not prying. However we all still occasionally find ourselves in situations where we have to pry something and a knife is the only suitable tool that we have on hand. The risk is that you will break the tip of the knife, ruin the edge, or slip and get a nasty cut. If you had a light weight, easy to carry tool that was purpose built for prying, there would be no need to risk ruining a knife (or loosing a finger).
The Boker Plus Vox Access Tool, or VAT, is made from 5mm thick titanium which makes it very strong but still very light weight. It weighs less than 1 ounce and is 3 5/8″ long so it should be very easy to carry in a pocket or on your key ring.
The VAT has several functions. It has a pry tip, a bottle opener, a carabiner, a nail puller, and a glass breaker that is protected by two rubber o-rings. A tool like this also tends to have many improvised uses that you will discover as you use it.
Save your knives for cutting. Consider adding a pry tool to your every day carry gear.
