EDC - What did your knife do today???

Mine have been cutting flood damaged dry wall, carpet, and various other junk in some of the neighborhoods of Nashville.
 
Used my Swiss Army Soldier's awl to punch some holes in a political sign so I could put zip ties through it and hang it up.

Used my Wilson custom, which is made from a farrier's rasp, to cut some 1' sections of old garden hose. Used the hose for staking up some trees as it prevents the wire, that runs through the hose, from cutting into the tree trunks. Then I used the Wilson for cutting some zip ties as we bolster up some gates to keep our new lambs from escaping underneath.

It can be done, but you'll have to use your trigger finger as a fulcrum.

I'm not too good at it, so what I resorted to was using the wave to pull out the teeth on the bottle cap. After loosening 2-3 of them, it would then pop off with the wave.
 
Finally got around to testing my Fox River Hunter from BRKT. It's been sitting there taunting me for the past couple months since I bought it. Split some wood and whittled this limb. Still very sharp afterwards

actually before whittling that stick was twice as large. I first had to chop the thing in half with my Cold Steel 12 inch Bowie machete.

He was probably confused...the store might have a policy of not selling knives to minors under 18 without a parents permission.

FL State law prohibits the sale of knives to minors, except for ordinary pocket knives.

As far as carrying the knife...if its just around the house, or when your fishing, no big deal.

But since you probably spend most of your time at school, carrying a knife is a HUGE no-no. You'll get in tons of trouble if you accidentally forget your knife in your pocket and bring it to class.
 
It was my small Sebenza in my pocket today. Actually had a pretty productive day with it too. It was first used to shotgun a couple beers on the golf course. Once I got home it was used to open a couple bags of potting soil for the garden. Good day all around.

At gun shops and shows you'll meet plenty of people who don't actually know what they're talking about.
 
Used my alox Victorinox Soldier this weekend
- the blade opened some envelopes and packages
- the large screw driver corrected a barometer that my girlfriend bought last saturday
- the awl pushed a tiny reset pin in the radio controlled clock in the living room
- the small screw driver removed push pins of my watch to change the band
 
Cleaned some fish with my Izula. It's not a very good fillet knife but for gutting and slicing off heads, it's great. Since I got this little big knife I have'nt been able to put it down. My folders are getting jealous.:)
 
Used my new Spyderco Bob T slipit to cut a plum.



Then I cut a fig just to see the inside of it and it left a NASTY "gunk" on my blade.

Tuff cloth cleaned it right up.
 
I used my Umnum to open a box containing my new Jeep softtop and also opened a few bags of peatmoss.
 
Used Sage II to open some envelopes...pretty quiet day for my knife:thumbdn:

btw am I the only one who actually READS this thread? I feel kind of weid for actually doing that:D
 
Used my CS American Lawman to slice up a few boxes at work and practiced waving my 111SH2O with my left hand as it cut air particles from O2 to just O :D

That's about it, pretty simple stuff lately. Really looking forward to fishing and/or camping soon :thumbup:
 
While returning home from a paddling symposium in Nova Scotia, I came across a car crash where the single vehicle involved had gone off the road into the median and rolled a couple times. I was probably the fifth or sixth person on the scene, but only one other person was doing anything at the time and was in the vehicle(on its side) assessing the patient. I made sure someone had called 911(someone had already) and did a quick inner/outer circle survey. After that, I confirmed the number of passengers(1) and proceded to direct bystanders until Fire arrived. At that time, I identified myself and proceded to help with vehicle stablization. FD was gonna do a roof flap, so I gave my Umnumzaan to one of the firefighters to take out the windows and it did it with relative ease(not as effective as a spring loaded window punch, but pretty well). After that,one of the FD officers suggested I move back as another company arrived along with EMS and he said I probably shouldn't be right in the middle of the scene without protective gear on. I was happy to offer help, but lost my first-aid kit along with one of my seakayak compartment hatches(when I grabbed my first-aid kit I forgot to put the hatch back on:o). Got my Umnum back, though:thumbup:

Good job :thumbup:

Right place at the right time, I hope everyone made it out okay :)
 
It was kind of an odd morning. I went walking with Oliver, our family's beagle/bulldog and came upon a bird hanging upside down in a tree. Not sure what kind of bird it was. This thing was flapping like crazy, upside down. It had gotten its foot caught in some nylon material it was using for it's nest. The bird couldn't right itself on a branch so it just flapped helplessly trying to get loose.

I ended up tying Oliver off to the base of the tree next to me and with my Boker Barlow scurried up the tree to about 10' and cut the nylon that had entangled this bird. I had to hug/climb the tree with my knife open (in my mouth) as their weren't any branches down low to grab on to.

Hanging on to one branch, legs wrapped around the trunk of the pine tree, knife in other hand, I proceeded to cut the nylon with little effort. I'm sure the bird was thankful and probably mentioned it as he flew away. I could just imagine the neighbor's thoughts seeing some 250# gorilla hanging in a tree with a dog below.

(My wife laughed and her only reply was, "what if you would've fell out and hurt yourself?" I replied, "at least the bird made it!")

Like I said, what a morning.

That sounds like an eventful day :D

I used my CS American Lawman to cut up my orange last night and to slice air as I opened and closed it :)
