Okay, so I pondered for a bit on the knife (I keep one with my Razor as self defense. Normally, I choose the knife to fight for some reason)

And thought that wouldn't, in real life, couldn't you just lam a knife into a lock to open it?

One thing led to aother, and I thought of some ways to open a Skyrim lock.

Anyway, the point is, how many different ways can one pick a lock in Skyrim if they could?

So, here's how it goes.

After escaping Helgen, you find a group of merchants heading for Riften. They saw the dragon and decided to go to Helgen to check it out. You run into them just near the gates. Seeing the destroyed town, they mistake you for a theif and murderer and think you're responsible for Helgen (In the normal story, you kinda are, but whatever) They take you into custody and take you to Riften, where you are thrown in jail. You see that Sibbi Black-Brair is in the neighboring cell and he passes you a lockpick. Attemting to pick the lock, you cut your finger and curse, alerting the gaurds and failing the lockpick. You ask Sibbi quietly if he can pass you something else. He will slip you whatever you want, not including weapons, spell tomes,  lockpicks, or anything other than an everyday iron/steel dagger, knife, or other misc. object. You may use any of these to escape but only from lockpicking, not blowing up the wall. What would you do?
