The steel in most tools is much harder than steel used in other things, but the steel in a pry bar is about as hard as it gets, because of the beating it takes on most work sites.

This video shows how to make an incredibly hard knife with a pry bar – harder than most knives you can purchase.

Even if you do not have the tools to make this, knowing how is an asset.

If you do have the tools or know someone who does, this is one way to get an incredibly hard, inexpensive and durable knife.

What other tools can be fashioned or re-purposed into a knife?
