no prying at all.i had the large guthook knife break 3 times.i had almost all my knives break and finally gave it up.the edges are indeed good but the blades are just very brittlethey had a cleever in a set that was supposed to be able to chop the bone.it broke at the handle,if you buy the set you will find out just what i am talking about.i wish you luck
