I don't know how many garage sale trowels I've ruined while digging down to a bench mark or other monument because they won't stand much prying force.?ÿ I recently saw one of these, a gardener's Nisaku NJP650 weeding and digging knife.?ÿ
Somewhat pricey at $20-25, but very sturdy, sharp edges for cutting roots or other vegetation, and inch and cm scales as a bonus. Much handier than a machete for those occasions when you don't need the length. It comes with a sheath but probably isn't legal to carry in public.

I've cut myself just looking at the image.
If that is illegal to carry in public it's time to move.

Sent my sister a good set of knives for Christmas one year.?ÿ I also included a large package of Band Aids as a gag.?ÿ
When I talked to her after the holidays she told me she had already used a number of the bandages.?ÿ?ÿ
I've been cut more times by a dull knife than a sharp knife.?ÿ I have more respect for sharp knives.
I carry and use one of those. Be careful how much prying you do with it. The steel is rather hard (like in a knife) and therefore somewhat brittle.?ÿ
You can get her these this Christmas.?ÿ
