I have a chesnut bone CV SBJ, and basicly just wanting your opinion on, well if it is just a gents knife or if they like to get a bit duurrty some times:D. Do you guys use yours for what they look their handsome looks suggest? Cutting up fruit, opening mail, etc. Or do think they do good with less attractive things, cleaning fish, cutting rope, cutting hoses for fuel lines or radiators, scoring wood to make a mark of where to cut with your saw, making fuzz sticks, removing bullits from the shoulders of wounded soldiers;) (see the jackknife tale "Father Donovan's Swayback", great read!).

I like mine for removing those small gaskets from the gas caps of weed eaters and chain saws. I have cut up some fuel line hose to use as cushening for tightening the bolsters on my queen stockman.

Tell me what you guys do with these very glamorous folders that are maybe not so glamorous.

I don't have one, but it seems like you gave a pretty good answer right there! :) I'd have no hesitation putting a SBJ (or a peanut for that matter) to "hard use" tasks. As a wise man once said, it doesn't have to be big, just sharp.

I have used mine for skinning a racoon that I killed and for various other sundry chores. The SBJ is a very capable tool.
 
I've used mine as a steak knife,cutting up vegetables,fishing,cutting cord,boxes,and opening bags of pet food.It works really good for what I've use it for.I'm pretty sure it would work good for other things as well.I've become rather fond of the wharncliffe blade:).-Jim
