It's back!

I was reminded of the old long-running topic, and it's no longer in the first few pages of topics.

A few days ago I read a topic with some photos about fuzz sticks in the Wilderness & Survival forums. Lots of photos of fuzz sticks and what knives to use, etc. The thing that stuck out was that you need a really sharp knife to "fuzz" a matchstick.

So the other night I snagged some wooden strike anywhere matches from the kitchen and used my trusty Buck 110 (with BG-42 naturall) to make tiny little fuzz sticks from them. It's a curiously relaxing activity once you get over the fear of cutting too far so that the curl of wood is separated from the stick.

I believe I am ready to graduate to bigger sticks.

Other than that, it's been mostly the usual ... mail, packages, etc. I did cut a piece of anti-skid ("skateboard") tape (and probably scraped the edge on the steel frame of a Colt Commander) a couple of weeks ago that rolled the edge pretty badly. It took some time to get that fixed, but it's back in business now.
 
some one did some 'dillos with a 110 ...
i stuck my self again this time with a mount rushmore metal inlay 110..
took bandades for 3 days to quit leaking...
useing a two line as a edc work tool again working on deck and barn ...
forgot how nice it is to have a knife at the ready ...
took me 1 hr with a lansky to reshape the edge adn get poping sharp...
that old 440 still works as hard as i do..
 
I was taking pics of my 112s today,Im up to 19 or is it 20? Well anyway I looked down and seen thease great big blood drops on the terrycloth towel I was using to dry the 2 gold etch bladed Schwans 112s I have......
 
After midnight I retreived my mail.... and cut open my BCCI package w/Newsletter enclosed with a Buck folder!

Today I dispatched some hair and string that was clogging up the vacuum beater bar. As well, I opened up numerous bags and sliced some Maple Walnut fudge. All performed with my trusty 277.

Did the fudge first, right???:rolleyes:
Today? Mail duty again for a Buck 425 and used (not actually cutting) a 124, my Custom 110 BG-42, my 976 daggers, and the 651 Pig Sticker to show my Lady Friend the differences between satin, mirror, and bead-blasted Buck blades!.....Not sure that qualifies as cutting but they were 'used' just the same. I bought her a 529 Sharkskin ^ dated folder for her B-day last year and it has that dot in the middle of the ^ as we discussed a couple of weeks ago....something akin to a mid-year modification. She will be a Buck Gal yet!:p

Doing what I can.........

Thursday evening found me cutting some chicken breasts up for chicken soft taco's that evening - with my Academy sourced $37 Buck 119 Special - my favorite kitchen utility/butcher knife. The 'General', a Pro-Line 120, is awaiting larger cutting duties... a turkey! Probably be a while... Their BR siblings are 'on display'... my form of 'art'.

I have to admit, the times I have pulled the sheathed folding K-P out to cut something in 'public', it has drawn some remarks on it's looks... and what a nut I am. That is a beautiful hunk-o-S30V!

880 on a gopher that was pushing up a new mound in my sister-in-law's front yard right before Bunny Day Dinner.
Now I gotta clean out the dirt in the pivot area. Should've had my 187 Intrepid on me but I was riding light.

Well, not today but on Saturday we were opening plastic wrap around flowers for the church altar on Sunday. Neither maintenance man had a knife on him (that should be some type of maintenance man rule violation!). I gave one my Sirius and one my 55. As I handed him the 55 the second said, "I'll take them out of the boxes and you guys can cut them", I guess indicating that he wouldn't think I'd have a THIRD pocket knife on me! Ha, ha, silly boy, whipped out my SAK and all three of us did it in a jiffy with my wife taking them out of the boxes. So, I uses a SAK but the guys used Bucks, hope that counts!!
