The weirdest thing you've ever used your knife for?

That would work... Pocket carry of that thing is like packing around a 2nd nutsack!
 
To open the lock of the only toilet avaliable in the entire building, which was locked for unknown reasons.
 
when I was a kid I was trying to carve a gord like a pumpkin with one of thoes old style brass butterfly knives. I had the piece in my left palm and was pushing into it when it popped through and stuck me in the ring finger palm bone, it left a 'Y' shaped scar, you can tell what side of the scar the sharper part of the blade went through..lol.
 
Used to use a stockman spey blade to trim sheets of a plastic material prior to their being mounted on the outside of aircraft. Special aircraft. Special plastic. Buck 303 knife.
 
I've used the sharp corner of the spine to deburr plastic and scrape corrosion off copper wires.

Scraping off dried food spots off my jeans.
 
Eh... I use them to make small incisions so I can get access to ingrown hairs and pull them out. Probably not the smartest thing to do. And (bear with me as it gets kind of graphic here) if I can't get to the hair, usually the wound is deep enough that a scab will form around the hair; after a few days, picking off the scab will pull out the hair with it.

... eh...
 
To me, the most surprising thing I ever did with one of my knives was use the can opener on my SAK to actually open a can. I mean, really...how often does one need a can opener on your SAK/multitool these days? I'll just count myself lucky that I've never needed to use a spay blade for its intended use.

Probably the nastiest thing I've done with a knife was to slice off a bunch of scar tissue off of my chin. I nicked myself shaving once, but each time it healed, I'd nick it again, so it ended up being almost a wart-sized bump of scar on my chin. Sliced it off with a crappy old Kershaw linerlock (model 2420, with rubber inserts) with steel that I could get extremely sharp (but wouldn't hold an edge), and after healing, I never nicked that spot again.

Would your avatar be the "special aircraft"
I was stationed in Berlin as an ELINT guy from 79 - 81 We used to check out pics from that "special plane" to verify what our electronic sniffers were telling us!
 
I just used my little Schrade stockman knife to get a new toothbrush out of its plastic packaging. It was a real battle until the knife attacked it!
 
I don't know about weird, but the dumbest things I've ever done with my knives is lend them to people. If they're too lame to get their own, they can go with their plan B. Enough of me cleaning, sharpening, fixing them or asking for them back when they're done.

Marcinek...I'll forgive you
 
At my old job in a courthouse, the only toilet stalls on our floor were for parolees to take their piss tests. I was short on time and really had to go #2, so I used a small pen knife to secure the broken lock on a swinging stall door. Probably one of the more creative uses I've found for that knife, which was simultaneously one of the most disgusting things I've done in recent memory.
 
Used a "friends" knife to dig thru bear poop on the trail once. Really shoulda told him about that before he ate that apple. Some friend i turned out to be...
