Did your Traditional knife get a workout today? -Part II

[JohnDF]

Cut up some smoked Tri Tip for Chili.
And yes Vince, there are beans in the chili.

Used my stockman to break down some boxes after a trip to costco, the recycling bin was empty when i started. The knife is definitely less sharp but it still shaves hair.

Whatever I'm carrying will get used at work at some point

I tried to eat an apple earlier today, but it was no good. I gave the rest to my favorite buck, he thought it was great. But then again he is as dumb as a goat.
Sorry for the sideways photos, I don’t seem to be able to fix it.

My (BTI) Old Timer 23OT, that lost it's bail, opened the "Fresh from BTI" package with a new (BTI) Old Timer 23OT with bail, innit.

I used my Vic Minichamp as "dividers" or "compass" to check the accuracy of students' compass-and-straightedge constructions on one item of a geometry test I was grading. I deployed the ink pen, and then used the nail file blade, open to varying degrees, as the other "arm" of my compass. (My "real" compass is apparently in my office, instead of being kept in my backpack so I can use it wherever I am.) Never thought I'd use the Minichamp this way, but it worked like a champ!

This isn't a pic of the Minichamp compass in action, but it does show nail file (bottom left) and ink pen (right end of handle) deployed. Just ignore the other tools open or partly open in the pic.

On Friday my wife collected some chanterelle and black trumpet mushrooms from the forest while she was at work. My family does not eat meat on Fridays but with a forager in the family we do not miss out on flavor.

since "everyone else" is showing pictures ... the 610211's coping blade made short work of opening it ...

Thanks for coming up with one more use for the Minichamp. That might come in handy for me some day.

Dan.

Not really a work out light calisthenics.

 

[buckfynn]

Made an elderberry whistle a short while back.

 

[JohnDF]

Great looking Case stockman.

Might as well pitch another Laguiole shot in here.
Briar handle, just in yesterday.

Nice to see some fixed blades in here. That is the larger one of those, I have the smaller one. How does that feel in hand? Edge retention? Thanks.

I like the fixed blades from GEC. The one from that picture is the H10, which I think is the smaller version, I have a bigger one that is a H50, if I remember correctly, but it has been modified a little. As far as ergonomics I think the H73 is the best in hand. The H10 is fantastic for lighter cutting chores but the small handle is not comfortable for real work, for serious jobs I would take the bigger H50. The edge retention on all of them seems to be quite good for carbon steel blades. I try not to wear them down too far before they get a touch up, and a few light strokes will bring them back.

Just finished breaking down a couple 12's of boxes for the facility, with the sheepsfoot blade of my Marbles D2 Sowbelly stockman.
Why fill up the 5 yard dumpster with boxes if you ain't gotta? Not to mention, the Dumpster Company charge extra when they gotta come more than one a week. (oops. I mentioned it. )
Besides, it gave me a excuse to use one of my EDC today.
(Breakfast, lunch and supper today don't need cut ... ladled perhaps ... but not cut.)

 

[Mayonardo]

Cut down about 30 boxes for the recycle bin. Began with the spey blade on my 68 Buckaroo then, when the sharpness fell off, finished with the sheepfoot. Tried playing around with the Peanut at first but it is just too small to handle comfortably and safely.

 

[Barman1]

Not much of a workout, but this is exactly the reason I bought this one.
