He set out to pack as many features as he could into one everyday carry prybar and still land it at $200. This is the Not Thirsty version in circle machining, which drops the bottle opener for a cleaner outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Middleman, Not Thirsty edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachining: Circle pattern, front and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 6Al4V titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 4.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 0.74\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 0.27\" body, 0.34\" with the clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Aluminum oxide blast and stonewash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanyard Hole: Hidden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottle Opener: Deleted on this edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFastener: NGMCo. hardware machined by Tactile Turn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Made in USA (North Carolina)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: NGMCO-MIDDLEMAN-CIRCLES-NT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Middleman\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 4.25 inches this is the compact take on Archie's preferred 5 inch pry size. It gives up some leverage and gains a footprint that actually disappears in a pocket, which is the tradeoff most people making that decision are looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCircle Machining\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe circle pattern runs on both faces and does two jobs at once. It gives the body texture you can feel through a glove or a wet hand, and it is the visual signature that separates this version from the other Middleman finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scraper tip is unusually wide for a pry this size, which is deliberate. Archie uses his prys as scrapers more than anything else, so the tip got the attention. He also ran a micro chamfer along the tip edges, so the sides scrape as well as the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNot Thirsty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Not Thirsty edition deletes the bottle opener. If you already carry a dedicated opener or you just want the cleaner profile, this is the version to get. Nothing else changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHidden Lanyard Hole and Recessed Clip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lanyard hole is hidden, so you can run a bead without it dominating the look and carry it bare without an obvious hole staring back at you. The pocket clip is extra wide and recessed into the body rather than sitting on top of it, which is what gives the Middleman its flat, one piece feel in the hand instead of a ridge under your fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNice Guy Machine Co. is a one man shop in North Carolina. Archie designs, machines, and finishes every piece himself. The fastener is NGMCo. hardware machined by Tactile Turn in Dallas, Texas, so this is American made down to the screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This One Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the piece Archie built to represent his shop. Wide scraper tip, circle machined faces, a hidden lanyard hole, and a clip that stays out of your way, in a size you will actually carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProudly carrying American\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nice Guy Machine Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44378908819636,"sku":"NGMCO-MIDDLEMAN-CIRCLES-NT","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lonestarknife.com\/products\/ngmco-middleman-not-thirsty-4-25-titanium-prybar-6al4v-circle-machining-hidden-lanyard-hole-bottle-opener-delete-made-in-usa-ngmco-middleman-circles-nt","provider":"Lone Star Knife \u0026 Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
