Funny story... The other night, my wife used my Ti Backpacker to cut some boxes. Cereal, granola bar, snack boxes, etc... cardboard boxes. Stuff you can tear with your hands. She then comments about how the knife just about ruined the cutting board. I walk over to see what she's talking about and there are deep cuts and gouges in the wood. I just chuckle and walk away, rolling my eyes at her. A little while later she decides to cut a few slices of Cheddar. She grabs the same knife cuz its still laying by the cutting board. She says, "WOW, this thing really cuts the cheese!" After I pee my pants laughing she tells me its the best knife she has ever used. lol
