Mystery GAW/Challenge

[Crazy Canuck]

My beautiful Wife: Babe, can you carve up that chicken for dinner?
Me: Oh yeah. I’m on it.
Wife: What the heck? I left you a knife to use. Why are you using that tiny pocket knife.
Me: Don’t worry. There’s a challenge.
Wife: What challenge? Did you even wash that thing before you started?
Me: The main blade is always clean. No worries.
Wife: What challenge????
Me: My new virtual knife buddies want me to carry this knife all week. They seem to cut up all their food with pocket knives. I’m giving it a shot.
Wife: You need new virtual friends.

This was excellent! My wife came over and read it, said it sounds like a conversation we would have, and that she likes your wife

No pics (sorry), but I cut some smoked chicken and an apple for lunch today with my L08. Recycled pic, just for show. I must say, this thread has become a very interesting version of the knife workout thread. Maybe after the giveaway we should start creative knife challenges just for fun.

It's your civic duty!

Yes Vince, this was just tongue-in-cheek, I have always completed these duties when called on, I find it rather interesting.

I've had similar conversations.

I've had similar conversations.

As have I, I'm always being chastened by my better half about some of my knife related idiosyncrasies... Of which there are many.

Not too much today. Biggest tasks were liberating an HDMI cable from this zip-tie and opening an Amazon envelope.

Wished the blades had a little more aggressive point for the packaging. Seems like the buffing they got when it was “pocket worn” may have rounded them a bit. Probably nothing some time on the stones won’t fix.

I carried it, but used it for absolutely nothing...just sat in my pocket being a mooch

Went and picked up a chunk of leather today at Tandy after work. Trying my hand at some basic pocket slips to go with the winners. First one came out a little short... More practice required

Tues: I’m finding this Lamb Foot a joy to carry.

Getting ready to do some myself, Mike! Looking good!

Beautiful Lambsfoot, as always, Harvey! Looks like a "fruitful " carry! (I can hear the moans out there)

Isn't there an old saying..."another day, another doctor", or something like that...
Patiently waiting for the Doc to come in.

Then the Spearhead side helped me with the manly task of opening up a box!

Cutting saucisson is one of the best task for a pocket knife. heres a rosette de lyon made with red wine, its delicious. Hand made with love in Québec.

Breakfast chores - cutting up some celery.

Lunch snack - I lied about the cheddar - wifey was home today and she likes the brie so....wifey wins! When cutting the apple in two, I cut half way and the thick blade cleaved the rest - crisp apple is best with a very thin blade, but we worked it out just fine.

Me: Oh yeah. I’m on it.

Day 3 for the Big Moose.

My morning duties were quite similar to those of Monday morning: cut up an apple (2/3 for lunch, 1/3 diced up to put on cereal), sliced 4 large plump red seedless grapes, 8 small green seedless grapes, and 1/2 a banana to also put in the cereal.

Evening duties: sliced a broccoli stalk in half lengthwise and chopped up one half to put into the 1.5 pint microwave bowl; cut some shredded carrots into shorter pieces and added to the bowl, diced 1/4 yellow bell pepper to add to the mix; sliced off and diced up 4 slices of beef summer sausage to put in the bowl; chopped up some kind of curly zucchini that my wife bought somewhere and didn't like and hid that ingredient in the bowl; opened a new bag of roasted unsalted peanuts and threw a handful into the mix. Knife wasn't needed to add some frozen peas and a couple of dollops of BBQ sauce. Slap on the cover, and nuke it till it glows! While waiting, use the Kamp-King's cap lifter to open a bottle of Killian's Irish Red.
Eatin' good in the neighborhood!

I love and use my knives, but for the life of me, I can not understand the desire/need to use a pocket knife for culinary duties, except in the field or in emergencies and the occasional fruit opening. I would no sooner use a pocket knife blade as a screwdriver or pry bar. I have culinary tools for culinary uses, and avoid eating at "restaurants" that lack knives needed at the table. But that is a personal opinion and y'all do as you need. (If I tried to use a pocket knife to prepare a meal, Miss Norma would know that senility was onset. But, that's me.)

Stuart, I decide several weeks ago I am going to do the same with my decoys, tried of them being a tangled mess no matter how careful I am with them.

I'm new to the system, but it seems really good. We hunt farm ponds and tributaries of the Potomac River. I need to be able to adjust weights and decoys, so I'm using snap swivels at the decoy and weight.

Day 3, maybe this is one that I shouldn’t have opened with the knife.

I understand the feeling, but I saw your reply that you do serve. KUDOS to you! It is our civic duty and a privilege of participating American justice. If we do not serve, how can justice and democracy continue in America?

Preparing to embark on day 3 of the challenge. At 2.5 days into carrying just this one knife I'd say that so far I haven't found anything I could complain about in regards to the knife. Performs well for a cheapo knife although I haven't had any
demanding cutting task to test it with yet.View attachment 1300436

Stuart,

I know for me it is a matter of opportunity—I don’t have many non-culinary opportunities to cut, so I rotate preferences between kitchen cutlery and pocket cutlery. Today I cut some ham for my wife’s breakfast.
