ZENGHOST,

I've read up on your thread, thanks (didn't really think/know what to search for ;))

No prob, Shaun, that's the same problem I had when I started my thread--couldn't figure out how to search for that/this particular topic.
 
In a dimmly lit steak house I used a Lagoiule Shepard's folder. The steak knives from the resteraunt were okay I guess but my knife worked better. While I was cleaning it before closing the blade someone looked at me with that look of curiosity. :confused:
 
Hi folks!

I confess, coring apples and cutting mighty italian sandwiches into mouthy pieces are the most regular use of my knives (never skinned a deer, don´t cut my way trough bush). My wife is used to see that I use my folder for breakfast or supper.

Here in Germany the pocket knifes belong to the "Brotzeit", the second breakfast of hard working craftsmen, farmers, city slickers(like me). Such a Brotzeit we stuff with bread, home made sausage, ham, cucumbers, and of course beer (or apple juice or apple wine). We serve it on wooden boards, not pocelain plates. Especially in southern bavaria they use for this the "Nicker", a traditional hunting knife, belonging to their national costume, the leather trousers. Used in Munich as well are knife and fork with stag handles.

And if I can have such a "Brotzeit" in summertime in a "Biergarten" (i.e. open air beer parlor), have good friends around me and the right knife in my hand, than it´s almost heaven.

Guten Appetit!

Used to see guys using their knives when we were at sea to cut meat. The Navy always seemed to get extremely tough steaks and then the way they cooked them made them worse. My Buck 112 got lots of use cutting up food while on sea duty.

I have never had to do this while in a civilian place. If I got one I needed to cut with my CRKT Falcon it would go back.:cool:
 
My wife and I make eight 800 trips each year. She's always cutting fruit, veggies, etc... in the truck - In fact I bought a SAK Super Tinker that I keep in the console 'cause I got so tired of pulling my edc out of my jeans pocket while hurtling down the highway. There's something so satisfying about having a particular tool for a special purpose.
 
Let's see, I think the last time I used one of my EDCs for a food - related task was two weekends ago. I used a large Sebenza to scoop up and eat scrambled eggs that my son's scout troop cooked over a fire. Didn't have a fork, a plate or even a real pan (they made an improvised pan from foil to cook the eggs). The Sebbie was not exactly the ideal tool for the job, but it worked.
 
Man, Nathan S eating eggs with a Sebenza isn't exactly what I would consider an ideal tool.

"Hmmm. Good eggs." *takes a bite, cuts tongue off* :eek:

Anyway, I use my EDC on food all the time. Mainly when my family has lunch together or something. A little brother or sister always has to have something cut into little peices.

So usually pull it out after letting my parents try and "beat" through the food with a POS knife.
