What Did You Cut with Your Buck (Yesterday or Today)?

I dont do that one hand close anymore. I tried it a few times when I was a teen. I enjoy keeping my fingers intact.

It is right smack next/over a scar from when I did the same thing many moons ago.
You know, the whole "Lather, Rinse, Repeat" gig...

Hey Goose, since you got me hooked on the 119 I'll let you know how many fingers I cut this weekend on my new 119's first camping trip over in Idaho.:rolleyes:
 
...I "chunked" up some salmon fillets yesterday before I tossed 'em in the smoker early this morning. I did it with my $11.20 Sirus 297...What a sweet knife...I have it "subbing" for my 298 as I've gotta rotate 'em or I get nasty "vibes" from 'em...:eek: :eek: :p

Cleaning out the garage today... cut 2 mop heads off the handles with my 112. Cleaned the blade and cut some nice Angus strip steaks with the ranger, blade was still sharp, uuummm :D
 
Doc D...
Great to see that 298GY. What a GREAT knife, wouldn't you agree? BTW, that salmon looks great.

As for me, Mrs. Goose and I went up to visit her kids at their campsite. They're up there for the weekend...but we couldn't stay. Some may know that my wife had two hip replacements in two weeks on the SAME hip three months ago. She has not been able to walk since. So we took the wheelchair.

Anyway...the poor campers. All they have for a knife is little more than a butter knife. You can see it in the top pic.

Glad I took the 124. When I was done slicing up the tri-tip I used it to perform the Messy Meter Test by batoning a log...you can see the log in the second pic. I also have two ex-wives I would marry all over again LOL.

We wished we could have stayed the night, hell, the weekend. And I am thinking the kids wished I wouldv'e left the 124 too!

WOW Goose,
That 124 is way more durable than a 650 :D
That log was split perfectly too! Looks like one smooth chop was all that was needed! :D
 
Yeah Jim and Woody...it went through that log like buttah! (use decoder ring...set to "Hawaiian" or "Jersey").
It took about a half hour and I finished the rough edges with the 889SBMF.
Couldn't use the chainsaw....California is so PC ya can't even smoke in the entire park...or use power tools.
After tackling the log, I used a 55 on the Ranger's tires. Figured I'd help with his pressure just to give him extra traction in the mud.

I cut open 19 bags of Cypress mulch at my mom's house with my Odesys today. Used it to help dig up and transplant a Hosta also. Great back pocket knife.

We were camped in a state park once with a group of friends. A branch kept brushing one of their tent tops. Buddy reached up and nipped off about 8 to 10 inches of it.

Cost him $37.50. and that was back in the late 70's.

Reduced tire pressure is always a good thing for mud... ;)

Same thing in Maine state parks, they would fine you big time for using a chain saw or power tools, it's OK to get firewood that is on the ground. I've seen many Birch trees girdled and dead because some numnutz (use 'idiot' on the decoder ring ) stripped the bark off a living tree...

Although, it's OK to smoke in the parks here... most of the employees smoke too.
 
Buck 350 to cut up a sticky fabric spot for the inner snap of my 889LE sheath.
You know, the soft side of the Velcro set to keep the snap from leaving marks in the scales.
Real exciting... :yawn:
 
Yesterday . . . two Fuji apples fell to the might of my trusty Buck 110 with BG-42. They never stood a chance. Over the last few days, lots of mail and packages.

I've been experimenting with different "finishes" on my sharpening. The last couple of times I've used a fine EZ lap stone instead of my slightly coarser rods. The initial edge doesn't feel as sharp and doesn't pop hair as well, but it does cut paper and plastic easier and seems to stay usably sharp longer.
 
Use my Vanguard AG and 110 AG to cut a beef roast into small thin strips for chinese. Also used the Vanguard to cut the carrots and celery for it.
 
Today the BG-42 Buck 110 opened a very, very important box! Our decade-and-a-half-old Sony 31 inch television started dying last week. Today we got a spiffy new Toshiba 32 inch LCD with built-in DVD player. The Buck 110 made it possible for the Toshiba to be born into this world! Woo-hoo!
