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

I used a custom necker to cut a can of hair gel open for my wife. The applicator button on the can had broken off in her suitcase and she couldn't get any of the gel out of the can. It was an emergency, you understand. We were getting ready for a wedding.

I use thinner blade knives as toothpicks all the time. I sometimes do it in restaurants without thinking about it and I get weird looks from everyone.

Ouch, makes me wince.
 
Years ago, I had a cheap plastic handle Buck knife that I use to keep on my key ring. It was one of the little $4.99 knives that come in a plastic blister pack that hang on the display rods. The blade was maybe 2" long and I basically used it to clean my fingernails.

Anyway, at work around Christmas time, one of my co-workers walks in with a deep fried turkey and says "Let's EAT!!" It's around lunch time and we're all pretty hungry. So we all start looking at each other asking who has a knife...and nobody...had...a knife. So before we start ripping into this bird with our bare hands, I mentioned I had my keychain knife.

Long story short, I carved that entire turkey with a 2" blade that was so dull it wouldn't cut hot butter...and to this day, I can't remember if I cleaned it first. LOL!! :p

I think I might need to throw up. that is ROUGH!
 
I used two of my cheap ones one time as little drum sticks on my desk and broke one of the linerlocks on one lol
 
I use my umnumzaan swedge to scratch my heels under the super thick callouses... (also, for those curious, guitar picks excel at this task). You know, when you get a really annoying itch that is buried too deep under a callous for your finger nails to work... also clean/trim/"file" my nails on a regular basis. Also good for cutting hangnails at the root... prevents pulling... seriously works better than nail clippers.

Ive also given myself a full haircut before a job interview. And ive done it again cause it worked ;)

:thumbup:
 
Used a tanto mini grip to hold the end of a tape measure to a beam when measuring up cuts. Works great for that!
 
When i was young and dumb. I tryed to make a bong out of a plastic bottle with a bloody sharp Old Timer Mountain lion. The blade went staight through the bottle & straight through my hand. I bleed like a stuck pig.
Im not sure what i was most up set over. My skewered hand or all the blood through my beloved (Australian version) Charger. I loved that car.
I never touched that shit again. Now im old & dumb ,on a cold morning my left hand still feels that blade. Took a lot of months to get over that.
I prob should thank that blade(still have it)As it put me on the straight and narrow that night. Even carryed it when i was in the Austalian Army.

I worked right next to the "blue room" 87 - 90...
I carried a Vic champ.
 
I had a huge, nasty, ripe boil behind my ear. Hot as a coal and red as a beet. I took my razor sharp Spyderco Endura, cleaned it and put some alchohol on it, wrapped it up in paper except for about 3/4 of an inch at the tip and stabbed the abcess :eek:

Drained completely, healed in a couple of days, end of story.:thumbup::D
 
I love hunting, and since I was 10 I use to go out at dawn to hunt rabbits at my fathers ranch. On time was walking in a field that I did not know very well and after a spotted a few rabbits running in to some bushes, i ran after them an straight down a deep ass watering well. I got knock out by the fall.
I regained consciousness and found myself flouting in the water at the bottom of the well, i screamed my ass off for a few hours. I had an old kabar on my belt that I used to start making holes on the side of the shaft; I used them to climb out of the well. I took me about 5 hours to get out. When I got home my dad was mad as hell that I was latte getting home, and that I had lost my 22 riffle. Last time i went hunting on that field.

Used my SAK to unclog a 3.5" disk drive, multiple times. Users were in the habit of keeping their sweetheart photos in their disk wallet. They stuck to the disk, got inserted into the drives, and jammed it.
