Use

Starting Saturday, I cut down a bunch of low hanging branches to make moving out of my apartment into the new home much easier.
Opened and broke down boxes unpacking (still tons to do).
Opened more boxes yesterday, opened packages of speaker wire.
Did it all with a Kizer Ki423. Its still very sharp, some scratches, no chipping or rolling at all (unlike S30V). Very impressed with this knife, I cut through some pretty thick branches.
 
Kershaw link is my new EDC. Really liking is so far.
3) Yesterday at about noon: opened a bag of charcoal.
2) yesterday about 5pm: cut a bunch of Rosemary branches off Rosemary bush.
1) about an hour ago: cut garden twine to give some support to tomato plants that are producing extremely well !!!!
 
Yesterday used the RAT 1 while fishing to cut line, cut up some bait, whittle a rod holder. Today used the PM2 around the office to open mail, cut open a bunch of zipties, scratch a swear word into my mousepad while on the phone...
 
Manix 2 to cut bull rope, cut cardboard boxs open, and pick fingernails. Use my Strider SMF to play the five finger filet game every day...."I have all my fingers, knife goes Chop Chop Chop........."
 
5 minutes ago I used a Northwoods Broadway Jack to open a bag of peanuts: https://instagram.com/p/52qD-jx9Rd/?taken-by=brancron

Last night I used a custom Micro Kiridashi to cut the string that was tied around my luggage zippers to keep them shut: https://instagram.com/p/6fMJMTR9TE/?taken-by=brancron

Earlier yesterday evening I used this Opinel No. 8 garden knife to open a few packages (some containing knives) that were waiting for me when I got home: https://instagram.com/p/54rOLsx9bw/?taken-by=brancron

[I apologize for the instagram links, but it's just the fastest way to link photos of the above knives.]

Used my ZT0770cfm4 to:
-cut 60-70 boxes of double walled cardboard @ 2'-4' per cut
-cut 2 pallets worth of pallet wrap.

Used my Mozolic one piece EDC to:
-cut open about 40 packages of sausage.
-separate or open about 200' of individual sausage links.
-opened 12 bags of spices/seasonings

Used my Vic Castaway to:
-mark, cut out and trim plastic to make a new piece to press labels flat onto the packages.
-cut the film to size for the gas flush when replacing film

Used my JK Knives K Tool to:
- clean the heat element on a gas flush machine
-tighten the screws holding the eye oriented for the ejection arm

I use my knives and tools daily and in a constantly wet/cold/humid environment and I have Very little issues with the steels I have choosen:
W1, M4, O1 and Inox.

I clean them when I can, oil them before lunch and at the end of the day and I don't let them sit around wet, other than my Heavily patina'd W1 Mozolic which Is my wet work knife.
 
My People :D. I too lead an exciting life. Cutting old shop rags with my Blur, trimmed my finger nails with my old timer, and cut some plastic straps with my old custom fixed blade made from an old saw blade. This is the life.:yawn:

This morning I cut some tags from some training gear, at work I cut up some apples at break time and this evening I opened a package that I got in the mail (and used the knife to free the contents from their individual wrappings and packages as well).

SAK electrician was on duty today.
 
Yesterday was opening DVDs.
Saturday was opening DVDs.
The use from the week that sticks in my mind was Tuesday, when I used an XL Vaquero for clearing an astounding amount of tall grasses from a trail that was heavily overgrown; due to heavy rains and not many people out that way, it would have been better if I had a machete. Got covered in lots of itchy stuff that I seem to be slightly allergic to.

But it made for a neat picture when I got to the huge fallen tree. :)

I met a pig on the cleared trail in (no grass cutting there):

A walking stick is good for walking up trees:

And the knives of the day:

You can see the very grassy surroundings, and the tall grasses in the swampy parts are especially nasty.

The rest of the week was the usual envelopes, fingernails, and food of everyday life.
 
Picked it up, looked at it, put it back in the safe :p

Kidding, like most people here, I cut open boxes and broke them down. Tomorrow will be the same :D
 
In the morning
I had cut a plastic flower pot to fit it over a tiny solar cell which is overcharging some devices battery in our garden.

Just now.
Cut some flowers out of their plastic bag and freshly cut their stems so they soak up water more easily.
 
I'm a little confused. Are you asking me to post a picture of the three knives I mentioned in their respective boxes?
No you gave us pictures of those I was wondering what knives came in the box you opened none of my business I'm just nosy i guess

Oh, of course, I'm sorry. One package contained the aforementioned micro kiridashi, and the other contained this beautiful new fixed blade made by Blade Forum's own Nikola Kovachev: http://imgur.com/a/ddKmI
