                The SNG is a great knife. I have had many striders over the years but the SnG CC was by far the best to EDC. Just sold one recently and miss it.

                Invest in a prybar and leave the knives (especially folders) for cutting. I am not a fan of Gerber but that applegate folder was the best knife they ever made IMO.

                What knife are you going to get next?

                  Got myself a Boker Speedlock recently. Frighteningly quick spring! But fabulous feel and quintessentially German.

                                  🤦

                                  You might want to send your knife in for servicing. Even if the blade isn't bent yet, you've probably done damage to the pivot or the stop pin. Eventually, the lock will fail, if that hasn't also suffered damage already

                                  I've never understood why people pry with their knives. Prying with a Sebenza is like opening the door to a BMW and then sitting on top of it. The hinge just isn't made for that stress

                                  I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                    And if I were to use a Hinderer for that, it would be because my family is on the other side of a door in a room that's on fire

                                    Using the Applegate for prying was unwise as well. It's only full stock down that narrow strip down the middle. The knife is a dagger. Strong for stabbing, about as weak as a knife can get for prying

                                    If you really want a stout folder, I would also look into the Zero Tolerance line. I have a 0560 and it's as stout as my XM-18 at half the price

                                      Amen. I sometimes have trouble using my XM-18s (especially when they're new) for normal tasks.

                                      But seriously, it is a VERY BAD idea to use any folder for prying, I don't care how "hard use" the folder is. If you must pry with a tool made to cut go with a Busse and you should be fine.

                                          Unless you need to have something replaced because of abuse, then you'll have to pay for it. And they can can tell when it's been abused. Chris one time pointed out a user/abuser had flicked his knife open hundreds of time by the way that the stop pin was deformed. Pretty amazing

                                            I'm sure I've opened my knife thousands, if not tens of thousands of times… I work with it... I mean: should I just look at it?..

                                            It doesn't matter if they charge me a fee though...
