Put my 3V RatManDu to work on some pumpkins. Happy to report that SR3V beats pumpkin every time.

s35vn works well too. I’ve never been crazy into Halloween, but I played along and carved a few pumpkins. It gunked up my ZT, and a smarter man than I would have thought to grab the fixed blade in my Chevy, but hey it made the gf happy so

Insingo is a box cutting laser

I like my knives and all, but a good set of utility shears make short work of clamshell packages.

Retail packaging has gone beyond clamshells. To free the Lenox utility knife from its plastic (not cardboard) display card, I had to cut off the shrink wrap, open up the body of the knife (whereupon a spring sprang out), and cut the plastic tab that was inserted where the blade would normally go. It turns out that if you close the body of the knife without finding the spring and inserting it in the right place, it is extremely difficult to open it again to access the stored blades.

A knife isn't always the best way to open packaging

I favor a reciprocating saw, but even that does not work when you need to cut stuff that is inside the Lenox utility knife that you are trying to free from its retail packaging.

Well since Insipid Moniker introduced Korok, and to remember Matt Charlie Mike,
Jack and a Bunny. The Bunny opened a microscopic "super-duper fun-size" Three Musketeers bar.

Korok is adorable, but Jack is hard to impress.

Jack is handsome and looks very laid back. We had a tuxedo for many years and he was always squeaking, chirping and trilling

you'll find the saw on a SAK Farmer to be helpful.

Thank goodness you didn’t use it to lift the pull tab

Prying would just be crazy.

You guys lead MUCH more interesting lives than I do.
I normally exercise a knife by slicing open a finger...

Drove it off the never-use lot with that candy unwrapping parlor trick
that's gonna take the value down Big time

Korok is very photogenic and very aware of it, as he insists on being in about every photo we take.

It's just proper enabling going on. If they have to send it in for a spa treatment, there will be a gap in their collection that will require immediate filling. It's all according to plan.

 

[Bob Denman]

I'm sending 2 back for spa days. Does this mean I can buy 2 more?

Only if you buy 2 for me too.

This sounds like a fun game.
If someone offered to buy you ANY knife: what would you ask for?

A George Herron knife of my choosing. Probably one of his fighter models.

Just off the top of my head and without doing any research on other brands/models, I like the idea of a (possibly custom) double lug large Inkosi with a nice patterned damascus insingo blade and some nice inlays.

Shoot, if we’re going custom, then I’m getting someone to make my “house sword” model, which only exists in my brain right now. Imagine a Randall Household Utility knife with about a 12”-14” inch blade (maybe longer), a shorter handle, and a thin but tough steel (3V or one of the high-toughness carbon steels) so it would be relatively light (easy to carry around for most of a day) and able to be used as a machete, for some light chopping AND for home defense. I’m thinking straight-backed drop point and easily removable scales to accommodate different scales for different applications and hand sizes.

Of course, I’m neither a knife maker nor particularly knowledgeable about knife making, so I very well could be describing something that couldn’t or shouldn’t be made.
