I don't carry a knife, so it comes in useful. Even if you do carry a knife, this can be useful to reach tight spots that require leverage that might damage a blade. I have used it to pry back a stuck latch, open packages, and pry nails or screws that have become embedded too deep. Also used as a screwdriver and an infinite number of other times in the field. Love just reaching in to my pocket and solving a problem without having to reach for a toolbox or resorting to damaging blades.

rossoneriAs you can see, EDC = a bunch of boys who carry around trendy, inefficient tools in case they find any remote opportunity that they can flaunt them. Look how cool I am, I use a pocket knife every time I need to slice bread. It's soooo convenient to carry around this pry bar, I use it at any opportunity I can! Why be tied down to a tool box or use normal tools when I can carry around 5 lbs of miniature titanium hipsterism on my keychain?

zoomorphYour reply actually made me laugh because I was at a restaurant the other day and the serrated knife they gave me with my lunch - open face steak & cheese baguette - was crap.
I am pretty far from being a "hipster".......but I was able to pull out a CF Spyderco Caly 3 that I had on me and correct the lack of a good knife in being able to actually cut my sandwich into bite sized pieces that didn't butcher my sandwich.
I also have a mini pry bar on my keychain and it has been invaluable at times ......especially dealing with any staples.

zoomorphI can see your point. A lot of people do take EDC a bit overkill. I've seen some people carry 3 knives which is absolutely redundant. However that said, one sharp and durable Spyderco is very useful for a lot of situations. I don' t usually take mine out at restaurants since it scares the fuck out of fellow Canadians (no offence, I'm Canadian). :D However, just last week, I was at a Chinese restaurant and they give me a plastic container and had a gap half-enclosed (wasn't carved out correctly) and a simple slit from my knife did the trick. So it really depends on the person, I only have a Titanium carabiner on me, definitely not all 5lbs of hipsterism. LOL
