Lookin' good, Mark. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Now that the holy 'nut has been your steady edc, can you venture to give it a rating of how it handled all the cutting chores it was put to. How did it do vs what it didn't handle. Give it a rating of % success, or a 1 to 10, or whatever you think.?
The cult wants to know.

Well, I can't really complain one bit. About the only real-world task it's not up to is cutting a
loaf of bread. I can quarter apples with it just fine, and cutting a bagel or larger roll is no problem. I've gone through bunches of zip ties, even some that were pretty hefty, without problem (just lever the pen blade in there and apply steady pressure -- before you know it, pop! no more zip tie). If I'm going in to the woods with the kids, I'll usually bring along something a tad larger to cut up the mushrooms we find, but in a pinch the 'nut works just fine for that too. What else? Cigar trimming, package opening, carving sticks with my boy, whittling some kindling shavings for fire starting, cleaning finger nails. slicing open countless bags of screws in Ikea furniture boxes, scraping gunk out of my harmonicas, cutting kite string and fishing line, opening mail, slicing itchy tags off sweaters for the kids, cutting open mulch bags and twine in the garden, trimming my tomato plants ... and on and on and on.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but this is just a great little pocketknife. I'm no rancher or sailor or tradesman. I work all day on a computer. I have a lovely wife and three little kids -- and for about six weeks now, a puppy.
I work out and ride a bicycle sometimes for exercise. I read a fair bit, and I play a little music in clubs at night. Just an average Joe. For me, the peanut offers an outstanding combination of size/weight/pocketability and cutting power. Not to mention flair. I admit, I
do have a little chip on my shoulder about making do with a knife like this vs. some tanto-pointed 5" car-door stabber.
