MANLY uses of your knife?

Today, some friends and I had ordered a pizza. Upon delivery we opened it up, and to our complete surprise we were looking at an uncut pizza. Before today I'd never seen a pizza delivered uncut.

We were at the apartment of one of my friends (were we at mine this wouldn't even have been a hiccup) and all she had were plastic knives and forks. Beyond my second surprise that she didn't actually have any silverware, I was stunned when she started to try to cut it with a plastic knife.

I motioned for her to stop, and for everyone to step ten feet away from the pizza. I pulled out my enormous 6.25 inch Izula and proceeded to slice the pizza. Needless to say, everyone in attendance (all girls) were both impressed and fearful of its size.

After they were done watching this manly task, they quickly clamored about me to congratulate and fondle it. I smiled and put it back in my pants.

Amusingly, one asked if the Izula came in pink.
 
when I was younger I had a wisdom tooth starting to erupt and after much pain I grew tired of it and thinking that it must be a tooth erupting .I jabbed at it with my Endura1 and jabbed again until I felt it hit what I was sure was tooth and just then a flood of pus filled my mouth and after much spitting I cut away some of the gum so the tooth would come out and all is well with that tooth to this day.

That's RAD!! :barf:
 
Wouldn't really call it MANLY, but it was definitely useful.

A friend of my fiancee was having a barbecue a few years back at a local park, and decided that he wanted to grill up a mess of meat. Steaks, ribs, tri-tip, the works. As soon as we set up, he started cooking. Now, he had all this meat right and ready for cooking, but when it came time to eat, he somehow was able to bring plates and plastic utensils, but completely forgot about the knife for slicing and carving all the cooked meats.

Luckily, I had a couple of knives on me at this time, so I handed him a Benchmade 740 Dejavoo to work on the larger stuff, while I used my Opinel No.8 for cutting steaks into smaller pieces for those that preferred not to tear into a giant steak with their teeth.
 
This is something that I completely forgot about....

Last weekend when my wife was in the hospital, (and we stayed for 24 hr observation too) the IV (intravenous, not a roman 4) had a few problems that my Gerber Deisel was able to solve. The IV is put in place by a needle which can be interchanged by a miraculous attachment that can be used for drawing blood, injecting medicine, or just plugging the IV in for fluids. Well, after the nurse at hand drew out the blood, the last tube was stuck and would not come off which began to hurt my wife's arm (due to the tugging at the needle stuck in her wrist). Becoming worried and agitated, I offered up my Gerber Deisel from my belt sheath and with a flick of a wrist, had them open and the nurse was able to twist the tube off and successfully reattach the IV. This helped the nurse, but more importantly, my wife. So that to me was very MANLY :thumbup:

PS. It's a BOY!!! 4 months to go :D
 
when i was in college, i had a pretty bad cavity on one of the tooth. sore, and sometimes nerve shattering pain when bite into. Finally, decided to take care of it myself. after breaking the tooth off with much effort, i realized that half of the tooth was still stucked in there. I used my factory sharp spyderco to cut open gum, with help of a manicure scissor i was able to get to it, and finally removed remaining pieces. Feeling a lot better about myself with blood dripping down my mouth, i found out that i was still in pain, if not worse. I thought that the nerves inside the gums were damaged. So, i did the unthinkable. I iced my gums till numb, sterilized my needle, rinse with extra cool mouth wash and i ram that needle and took out all the nerves inside the gums. basically i ate painkillers, drink whisky/vodka and piss/shit blood for a week and stopped bleeding after 2 weeks. Years later, i still have that hole in the gums, but now my dentist tells me for that stupid act, i will need somekind of cap, or root canal that will cost me thousands of dollars.

i dont know if it was a manly act to cut open the gums inside your mouth with your EDC, but it was because i was too afraid to go to the dentist:thumbdn:
 
i had a truck spring knife i hammered through a mild steel M12 threaded rod as i didnt have anything else at the time :D

When my wishdom teeth kicked in, they sort of ripped pieces of my gum. Later when these parts of gum were sort of half dead, I twisted them around to "weaken" them and eventually cut them with SAK scissors. :D
 
I hope you used a knife that offered fantastic blade control.

+1 for a large finger choil on the blade like a Spyderco Street Beat or similar.

Great for self circumcision too! :thumbup:
 
When I do the laundry, sometimes I cut dangling threads off of garments or towels when I take them out of the dryer. I've been known to cut fabric softener sheets, into smaller strips, with SAK scissors for better economic usage. Sometimes I'll use the nail file on a SAK before buffing my nails. Why have healthy, shiny nails if they're not shaped properly? I made these pretty ball and cages...
