A knife with a strong and durable tip that is least likely to break when used for prying or chiseling is one with a "Tanto" point. Tanto knives have a thick, straight edge with a reinforced tip, making them highly resilient to stress and abuse.
The design of the Tanto point originated from Japanese swordsmiths who created it to be a robust and effective cutting and piercing tool. The tip of a Tanto knife is typically flat and wide, which gives it added strength compared to other knife point designs.
However, it's important to note that while a Tanto point is more durable for prying or chiseling compared to some other knife point styles (e.g., clip point or drop point), knives are generally not designed for heavy-duty prying or chiseling tasks. Using a knife for these purposes can still put a considerable amount of stress on the blade, handle, and overall construction, increasing the risk of damage or breakage.
For tasks involving prying or chiseling, it is better to use specialized tools designed for those specific purposes, like pry bars or chisels. Knives are primarily intended for cutting and slicing, and using them for other tasks can lead to premature wear and potential hazards. Always use tools for their intended purpose to ensure safety and longevity.
