What big-knife job have you handled with a peanut?

Not a big job, but I use a Peanut every morning to cut up an apple and open my mail. The apple has to be a granny smith or fuji, and I eat it with Trader Joe's flax seed peanut butter.
 
Biggest I did was push splitting kindling for a fire this summer, dry spruce about 3" diameter log into 3"x1/2" slats, then the other way into 1/2"x1/4" pieces... all about 8" or 9" long. Had to be reeeeaaal careful not to twist or flex the blade-would have snapped it off. Amazed Dad with that one, at what I am willing to do to/with that little knife.

I'm no big outdoorsman or anything, I just use pocketknives for common chores. I have honestly been dropping to smaller and smaller sizes. For a long time I was caught up with toting big old clunkers, but like most of the ummmm "older" guys on here, time and health have been catching up, and I am finding it much more reasonable and prudent to cut on things with my 3-3/4'' copperheads. I even got a little Case Tommy Hart mini folding hunter, I love the thing and it's only 2-3/4''. I like folding hunter patterns, and I can whip this one out at Walmart and scrape my fingernails without a SWAT team responding. :D
