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

Looks good, Jack, although... around these parts, "pasties" are not usually edible.
...although, with a wife who's part of a bellydance & fire performance troupe, my knife gets used to prepare pasties from time to time as well. :eek: ;)

It's my girlfriend's birthday today, so I'm just making a flying visit ;)

Used my knife today to open a couple envelopes and some packaging. Also used it for some food prep.

Cutting up veggies to make some foil pack dinners.


There's some homemade venison burgers buried underneath all the vegetables.


This is all that survived out of the 11+ pounds of food. It sure hit the spot and everybody else seemed to enjoy it as well.
 
Great pics Dan, looks like a feast :thumbup:
 
Thanks, Jack. The first pic is only about half of what I ended up using. I had been thinking about making them for the past few days, so the wait probably made the end result even more satisfying. Of course, the good company of family and friends doesn't hurt either.;)
 
I spared the sodbuster today. Had some real rough work, so used my Vic Swisstool.
Yeah yeah, the Sodbuster would have done as well, but I was cutting onto metal surfaces & such, cutting Armaflex lagging (other fridgies will know what that does to your blade edge!) & so forth.
So I chickened out.
Feel kind of guilty about it though.
 
Mine did pork chops and home grown tomatoes.

The meal as a whole looks pretty tasty, but those tomatoes really stand out! There's just something special about a perfectly ripe tomato.:thumbup:

They are a purpleish tomato called a Cherokee purple. And they are fantastic. I don't eat store bought tomatoes.
 
nice! my wife grows cherokee purple tomatoes most years. they are an excellent eating tomato. had ome with our fish and grits last night, in fact.
 
My Castor helped me make a sausage sandwich for breakfast. It looked a lot like this ;)

 
The sodbuster got used today to remove an old, knackered section of glass fibre insulaed flexible duct.
I also used a Stanley snap-blade knife on another job. How long have they been around? Long enough to be traditional? Mine is a recent all-plastic version, but I recall Dad using one when I was young.
 
My Leatherman Micra just helped me change the power unit on my PC, and do some general maintenance.
