You have probably seen it in countless premium everyday carry (EDC) pocket dumps: a compact, geometric piece of titanium that looks as much like a modern sculpture as it does a mechanical device. The Kansept PryOfSorts, born from the creative mind of custom toolmaker Justin Koch of Koch Tools and machined to perfection by Kansept EDC, is one of the most popular pocket multi-tools in the gear community today.
Yet, many people look at its minimalist design and wonder, "What exactly does it do, and how do I use it effectively?"
Pocket real estate is precious. If you are going to dedicate space in your jeans coin pocket or your leather organizer to a tool, it needs to pull its weight. This ultimate guide breaks down every single hidden and overt function built into the Kansept PryOfSorts framework, detailing exactly how to utilize them to conquer your daily challenges.
Function 1: The Heavy-Duty Pry Wedge
The primary mission of the PryOfSorts is built right into its name. At the front of the tool sits a precisely ground, angled wedge.
-
What it does: This is your pocket knife's bodyguard. It is engineered to handle massive lateral (sideways) stress and leverage—tasks that would instantly chip the edge or snap the tip of an expensive folding knife.
-
How to use it:
-
Wedging & Lifting: Slip the fine front edge under stubborn paint can lids, container tops, or stuck windows to lift them open safely.
-
Hardware Removal: It acts as an excellent pry tool for pulling up heavy industrial staples from shipping boxes, removing small nails, or popping out plastic retaining clips on automotive trim.
-
Household Fixes: Use it to pry open jammed battery compartments on electronics without warping the plastic casing with a sharp knife blade.
-
Function 2: The Precision Material Scraper
Because the pry tip is flat and beautifully machined, it pulls double duty as a highly effective, non-blade scraper.
-
What it does: It removes stuck materials from flat surfaces without the risk of slicing into your fingers or gouging the underlying material.
-
How to use it: Angle the tool at roughly 30 degrees against a surface and push forward with steady pressure. It is the ultimate tool for scraping off stubborn store price tags, old vehicle registration labels from glass, dried paint drops, industrial packing tape residue, or wax.
Function 3: The High-Torque Flathead Screwdriver
Look closely at the very front edge of the pry wedge, and you will notice it is perfectly squared off to match standard hardware dimensions.
-
What it does: It transforms the entire body of the tool into a robust flathead screwdriver.
-
How to use it: Slot the front edge into any standard slotted screw. Because the PryOfSorts features a wide, ergonomic body designed by Koch Tools, you can wrap your entire hand around the frame. This full-fist grip provides significantly more rotational torque than a traditional slim screwdriver handle, making it easy to break loose rusted or overtightened screws on furniture, tripods, or outdoor gear.
Function 4: The Unyielding Integrated Bottle Opener
Cut natively into the inner geometric lines of the titanium frame is an aggressive, perfectly hooks-shaped cutout.
-
What it does: It provides a flawless way to pop open your favorite bottled beverages at the end of a hard day.
-
How to use it: Unlike cheap keychain openers made of stamped steel or soft aluminum that flex and slip, the PryOfSorts is machined from solid, rigid titanium. Hook the upper tooth of the cutout firmly under the center of the bottle cap, rest the frame against the top, and lift upwards. Because titanium does not flex, it grabs the cap like a vice and cleanly pops it off on the very first pull, every single time.
Function 5: The Multi-Size Geometric Hex Driver
The striking aesthetic cutouts in the center of the tool aren't just there for looks or weight reduction—they are engineered around standard hardware specifications.
-
What it does: The interior steps and flats of the central cutouts act as an emergency wrench for small hex nuts and bolts.
-
How to use it: Slot the tool down directly over a small loose bolt or nut until the flat sides of the hardware line up with the internal titanium walls. By utilizing the length of the tool as a wrench handle, you can quickly tighten or loosen loose components on bicycles, skateboards, or household fixtures without needing to run to the garage for a full socket set.
Function 6: The Dedicated Lanyard & Customization Point
At the rear of the titanium frame, you will find a dedicated, chamfered lanyard hole.
-
What it does: This provides an anchor point for customizing your carry and improving tool deployment.
-
How to use it: Thread a short loop of 550 paracord through the hole and secure it with a premium metal bead (such as bronze or titanium to match the stunning Bronze Anodized finish, Model C010A4). This lanyard acts as a functional "pull tab," allowing you to instantly hook the tool out of a deep pocket or pouch. Additionally, when using the pry bar, wrapping the lanyard cord around your pinky finger provides extra security so the tool never slips from your hand during heavy physical tasks.
Pro-Tips for Styling and Maintenance
To get the absolute most out of your Kansept PryOfSorts, keep these daily use tips in mind:
-
The Fifth-Pocket Disappearing Act: The tool is scaled perfectly to fit into the small coin pocket (fifth pocket) of standard jeans. Carrying it here keeps it separate from your smartphone, preventing scratches while keeping it instantly accessible.
-
Zero-Maintenance Material: Because it is built from premium titanium, it will never rust, pit, or tarnish from pocket sweat or rain. If it gets covered in grease, oil, or dirt while working, simply wash it under a kitchen tap with a bit of dish soap, dry it off, and it is instantly ready for action.
-
The Discrete Carry Advantage: Because the PryOfSorts features no sharp, exposed cutting edges, it is an incredibly non-threatening tool. You can freely pull it out and use it in a tight office environment or public space where deploying a traditional folding pocket knife might cause unnecessary alarm.
The Verdict: A Masterpiece of Minimalist Utility
The brilliance of the Kansept PryOfSorts lies in its execution. It doesn't try to cram 30 useless, gimmicky features into a bulky frame. Instead, it perfects the core functions you actually encounter multiple times a day.
By offloading your prying, scraping, and twisting tasks onto this indestructible titanium frame, you protect your premium pocket knives, eliminate unnecessary pocket clutter, and carry a genuine piece of custom-tier functional art. Style it to match your gear rotation, slip it into your pocket, and tackle your day with absolute confidence.
