I was afraid it would be too thin to be useful.  I worried I'd bend it trying to pry with it.  :(

I wouldn't do any heavy duty prying with it because I don't really know if I trust the 420 stainless.  :think: For opening paint cans and light duty prying it should be fine. I really bought it to keep in my wallet so I'll always have a very basic tool on me in case I leave my gear at home for whatever reason.  :D

*** And it only weighs 0.6 oz.  :o   Pretty nice for a steel tool.   :tu:

Consider what most atwood tools are used for, it'll be plenty strong.  :P

I would also like to add that Peter hand finishes all of his tools. They just don't magically go to the waterjet guy and come back an Atwood tool. His fit and finish is what sets him apart from the competition. PocketToolX makes a fine tool but their fit and finish is not where it should be. Good for the $$$ yes, but not Atwood quality. Peter does what he wants and I respect him for that. I would like to see one Atwood tool cranked out in high production runs to keep everyone happy.  :D

Very important point and well worth emphasizing.
