Just spent a couple weeks in SC and the house wasn't as well supplied as we had expected. My puppy had some tummy issues so I needed to open a can of pumpkin for him and of course the only can opener in the house didn't work so out came my BK2. Go the can open and Kingston got his pumpkin but it chipped the coating on the knife a bit. I had been thinking about stripping it so I guess that's what I'm going to be doing sometime this week.
