Knives in Action

This is turning into an awesome thread.

@ festerfromnzed: What is a SIKA? and how did you take that parrot? Pellet gun? Nice shots. I hadn't counted on any butchering shots here, but I'm not opposed to them either. ;)

Sika are a race of japanese deer (cervus nippon) that were liberated here in 1910 by lord Bledisloe...They are my preferred quarry..VERY! hard to hunt....I shot the parrot with a 22 at 60 metres...(in the ear)...FES

I am editing this to avoid the ugly logo that says my pictures are no longer available, because I am deleting some pictures from my photobucket account.

That's a very accurate rendering of the colour of that Kryptonite White Owl.:thumbup:

Got a WCSB Queen Cutlery Canoe on board today.
 
Chris, that looks much nicer in your photo than the retail photos I see online.

My mail carrier delivered this Peanut today, and I put it right to work. First job, slicing olives and peppers to spice up a $0.98 frozen pizza for lunch.

Nice! This makes me wonder what percentage of all Case Peanuts sold annually are sold to bladeforums members...

It's my first peanut, and I blame the good folks of this forum for getting it in my pocket!

i think the powers that be are invested in making sure this number never sees the light of day
otherwise Case may have to pay Carl some sort of commission :P
 
Mine poor knives don't get nearly as interesting jobs, but here are two and there respective "places" from day to day.

My Trapper (currently out for repair :o)

Sorry not much actual action, but the knife did do all the cutting for those boxes.

And then the the more common inhabitant of my pocket

It spends most of its time opening these boxes

Blade_Crazy, computer work is pretty interesting. It seems the #1 and #2 duties for our knives are fruit duty and box-breaking-downing. (?)
 
Today, I named my cheese, "parrot."

Here's my knife cutting up some parrot:

This is solely from the morning's work on an apple, or as I liked to call it, "sika."

I just used the peanut to spear the cherries out of my Manhattan. I use Polish sour cherries, not Maraschino (sp?) cherries. By the way, this one was crafted with Jim Beam Rye whiskey, Gallo Sweet Vermouth, and a couple of the aforementioned sour cherries and a bit of their syrup. :)

The other knives were not put there for the photo. I keep a pile of them on my end table on my end of the couch to play with while I watch TV. The Spyderco Smallfly is by far the most fun to play with, but not as practical as the folders in actual use. ;)
 
I'm pretty new here but I figured this would be a good thread to start contributing to this fine community! Here's a pic of my thin Opinel I used to prepare some chicken & rice soup:
