Prybars

[Corporal D]

Been on some EDC groups on fb, lots of cool stuff. Got an itch to pick up a prybar, and Zach Wood's caught my eye. Cool looks, A2, affordable (45ish direct, about 10-20 more secondary) and I liked the pocket clip.


A one-off came up for sale and I grabbed it. Had someone offer me double what I payed for it (these collectors are crazy), but he had the one I really wanted so I traded the guy straight up. After handling both, I kinda liked the smaller one, but we'll see, this one might grow on me.

Pretty cool.

Looks neet. But what's the desire from collectors? Don't know who ZW is. Or is there just a demand for prybars? I could bang these out all day long

Yeah these and knuckle dusters are popular right now. It's one of those things where they release them in small batches, people like his style I guess. Atwood prybars and keychain tools are hundreds of dollars, the rare limited editions go for more. You should see what some of the knucks go for... I wouldn't mind a Cypop, but they go for $300-$600 depending on the material/model.

WOW!!! That is crazy IMO but to each their own. Some people would think my autograph collection is stupid expensive. Supply and demand

 

[Corporal D]

^^exactly. There's always someone that will collect something. I mean some of the materials ain't exactly cheap, but some people just like having rare things and are willing to pay a premium. The internet just makes it easy to show off lol

I like the Cy-pops, but for $250-$400, I'll just admire them from afar. I make some knucks and various other small tools and they do tend to sell well. Pocket tools are popular right now.
