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

Jahro, that is a pretty disturbing story man. I suppose you can thank goodness though that in those days you didn't play with your knife in the bathtub. I don't know...I guess the weirdest (and stupidest) thing I've done with a knife is use it to arc the always cranky Lucas ignition on the old Rover TC 2000. Luckily I used the spring side and not the blade.

I love hunting, and since I was 10 I use to go out at down 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 a 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, a 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.

/thread. we have a winner
 
I used to use the blade of my Spydie Police (w/ CF scales) occasionally as a mirror in tight spots to read manufacturer metal tags on appliances.
 
Used my Calypso Jr to shave my friends head, which went very well except we only had straight rubbing alcohol as an after shave...
 
I 'caught' a bullet fragment (copper jacket from a .45ACP) in my arm when at a local range. It was too deep to grasp (only a small portion was protruding from my arm) and pull out, so....my Spyderco Endura 'came to the rescue'.
 
All kinds of stuff.....but the nastiest is when I clean dog crap out of my boot treads, then wipe the crap on a co-workers shirt or other belonging:D
 
for me, its not what i did with it but how it managed to happen.

I was wearing gloves and using a small Maxam keychain blade, kinda a spydey dragonfly knockoff, like a pearing knife, so i was pulling it towards my thumb as i used it. It caught hard on whatever i was tinkering with and it slipped out and slammed right into my thumb, but i was wearing gloves that it didnt cut through, and it didnt hurt so i kept going and thought nothing of it. Then i saw the glove thumb was starting to soak blood. pulled it off, and what the knife did was, the sheer impact cracked my nail, and pushed the sharp nail edge into my thumb which is what made the cut. Bled alot too. Still cant believe how the hell that happened, i managed to cut my finger using a knife, through my glove, without damaging the glove at all. OKAY THEN. haha
 
I chased some dope smugglers on a stolen ATV. When they bailed and ran off, I tried to hotwire the ATV by arc'ing the exposed ignition wires with my Spyderco Endura 4, Kinda messed up my blade. But I did get it started :)

Burned completely through :(

Don't worry it only messed up the temper in those parts of the blade. Looks like something I would do.:D
 
I used a Spyderco Sage 1 to shave my pubes once. Spydercos, seem to do the job just fine as they come very sharp out of the box. That's probably the weirdest thing I have ever used a knife for.
 
Ate ice cream with my Zt200st.

Shaved a goat my father killed with my Ontario Tak-1 until someone found the blow torch.

My cousin used the nail file on the SAK classic to actually file her nails.

Ate fruit cubes with my SAK sentinal b/c I didn't have a fork and my hands were dirty.
 
I've used a CS Barong Machete to jab/pry accumulated ice and snow out of my wheel wells on my car, and my Pocket Bushman as an ice scraper before (the spine of the handle when closed--not the edge!)

Very similarly, I used my CS Twistmaster CV 5" Tanto which sits in my glove box, for chopping ice out of my wheel wells. I usually just use my steel toed boots to bash it out, but was wearing dress shoes, and didn't want to ruin them. The Twistmaster worked pretty well, if not quickly.

I routinely use the point of my Spyderco Military to dig out splinters from my kids' feet. They run out in the yard bare-foot, no matter how many times I tell them not to. I always make them turn their heads, as they still freak out a bit at the huge blade.

I've used a knife as a place-holder in a stack of papers on my desk, when I have to remove a file from the middle.

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

I actually got sick of buying cheap can openers and now my Vic Solder sits in the kitchen for that duty,the first time I used it was when I was trying to maul a can open with some dollar store opener and then decided "hey that swiss knife has an opener!" been there ever since.
 
I once helped and abscessed wisdom tooth erupt with my Gen1 endura ,kinda bloody and painfull but it worked well and the tooth is fine to this day.
