About 75% of the tasks we use our pocket knives for are not ones meant to be done with a pocket knife. For all those times you need to really stab or pry something open, turn to an everyday carry device purpose-built for those tasks, something like the Spike + Bar. Spike + Bar is a keychain tool built from titanium that’s designed to be uber-tough. That means you can use it to pry open paint cans, get into a beer when you don’t have a bottle opener, chip hard ground and ice when you’re camping, and even to break a window in an emergency. Basically, you can use it for all the stuff you’ve been trying to do with your knife. And since the point can be stored inside the case, you don’t have to worry about it doing a number on your pocket liners.
