What Can I use My Knife on?

Slash tires during your lunch hour or breaks?

Oh, this isnt W&C.

I don't use my knife much during a normal day. Like any tool, it's there for when something pops up. Same for the multitool.
 
Funny I was just thinking the other day about how often I reach for and use a knife to do some things that you don't need a knife to do. Like most of us, I feel lost if I reach for one of my knives and I don't have one. Think we are just attuned to using them on a regular basis and don't hink about it.
 
Ever think about moving and changing your type of work.

I have as a EDC a Traditional 5 1/4 two blade folding hunter in my hip pocket and an Umnumzaan clipped to the front.

The Umnumzaan the wife gave my as a Valentines Day/Birthday Gift that I have EDCed since the first of March. She said she had one condition on giving me this knife, I had to use it like one of my work knives and that it would not be a safe queen. I use everyday. I folded over the factory S30V edge in the first week and have sharpened it so times that I've lost count.

Hey Samael, I think an apology is in order for misreading my post and responding with an insult.

You know, I've thought about that a lot this morning, and no, no apology is in order. While I was probably over the top with my response, your post was also pretty dumb.
 
Let's stop hijacking this thread now and get back to the original discussion, because it's actually a pretty good one.
 
Back on track...

My advice would be to buy a book on whittling. I recommend Chris Lubkemann's in particular, although there are plenty of alternatives. Grab yourself a stick in the park or in your back yard and get some use out of those knives! It's a relaxing and absorbing pastime and it gives your knife and your knife skills a workout.

Have you ever thought about buying a Vise, mounting it on the Kitchen Counter and taking up the Hobby of Knife Destruction Tests and posting them on Knife Forums and YouTube? :D:D:D

Heh. I just destroyed a Becker Necker. Oh, gee, I'm sorry - you didn't want that, did you? (Nothing like a little thread overlap.)
 
To the OP:

I have a white collar job too and EDC a folder. Usually one of the following - Kershaw Skyline, Buck Vantage Pro or Kershaw Leek goes to work with me. I try to keep the blade length to ~3" or less for work rules compliance. I am in the IS/IT field (Information Systems/Information Technology for the non-geeks :p) and use my EDC to open packages, open mail, cut plastic stretch wrapping & strapping on pallets, cut the thick plastic bags protecting servers and PC's inside the boxes, cut down boxes for recycling, cutting bad network cables, etc. You just need to look what can be cut and apply your knife to it ;).

Out of work I usually have a larger folder to EDC like my Spyderco Endura 4 G-10, Zero Tolerance ZT0300 or Benchmade 710-D2. I bike, hike, camp, work in the yard and cut rope/twine and do a lot of home improvement so there is always a need for a knife for me on a daily basis. I shop a lot too and the I take out my frustration on whoever invented the "clam pack" by using my knife to obliterate the evil plastic clam packaging :mad:.

So you see, you can use your knife on a lot of things.
