Christmas Champions?

[scorpnsnake]

Christmas is the Winter Olympics of simple daily blade tasks for me. Tape, cardboard, tie wraps, rubber bands, variety of plastics, clam shells, fruit, nuts, pie, meats. You know the drill.

I chose the BM CLA Magnacut for Christmas Eve, which is intense on years with the wife's family, Latina heritage. Lot's of kids and gifts. She did swimmingly, cut down every task with grace.

Christmas morning, was the standard traditional Merican format, for this I selected the Godson Del Fuego. Knife did well, though I did hesitate handing it to others. I found out that the sharp, but thin tip had me not trusting their judgment. Both in personal safety and the welfare of said blade.

What model did you all select to represent and showcase your prowess in the sport? Or perhaps you gat a new one as a gift. How did it go?

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

This was in my stocking, so it had Christmas duty today.

I’m a big fan of LoomFixers, even the Rough Ryders.

Esee Junglas 2. A wonderful gift from my father, he asked me if I regretted getting rid of anything this year. Back in June I told him an Esee Junglas 2. Guess what showed up last week gift wrapped.View attachment 2434734

I was carrying a PM2 in K390 steel. I only cut open a few packages but I cut my ham at lunch today.

Yeah man. When nobody was looking, I got at that ham and turkey all slicey like. There was a honeydew melon side eying me. Sure wanted to see that Godson puncture and slice. But I couldn't think of a defense for shanking my brother inlaws produce that didn't leave my crazy hanging out. lmao!

My Christmas haul, minus one Cold Steel Lucky:


Used a Recon 1 tanto to open gifts at first, because I’m a classy guy. Opened the Ka-Bar with it, then switched to carrying the Ka-Bar for opening gifts. Used it to open one of the Vic’s, and you can guess the rest.

I had my Sebenza ready to go but I ended up using my SAK for most of my Christmas morning tasks. 3 hours and counting

My Christmas carry was the Sebenza (for basic cutting), Victorinox Wine Master (for obvious reasons ), and an alox Compact (for scissors). Also used the full compliment of kitchen knives of course

This was my package opening knife.



This was my Christmas dinner preparation knife.

I didn't get any knives but sent my brother a BM meatcrafter and my Dad a Shun Premier boning/ fillet blade. Those two probably sliced up everything in the house.

My Spyderco Cricket gets the nod each year for Christmas duty and all the children in the family know where to bring their boxes for the most efficient toy retrieval.. if there's a knife out there more adept than the Cricket at freeing a Barbie from her cardboard prison & plastic shackles, I haven't found it yet..

I used my serrated Spyderco Endela Wharncliffe to carve the Christmas ham. Didn't snap any pics though unfortunately...

I gave a friend a serrated spyderco. First day, he quenched the blade in blood. Those serrations are no joke.

The only knife I used on Christmas was a Santoku; but it performed its duty admirably.

**Edited to add**
Oops, I lied. I also used my Shun Higo-no Kami, which performed as well as expected. (It has yet to disappoint)

Spydie serrations, especially on a flat-ground blade, cut like a damn laser beam!

I scored a recon brand knock off of the leatherman trauma shears in gold and glow in the dark.

Which work quite well.
