I know we have a knives and coffee, knives and beer, had a knives and boots, etc. Thread:

But besides pose with a latte or ipa, what did you "do" with your blade today? Open a letter? Cut a sandwich? Clear an acre or Slay a dragon?

I just used a buck lux avid to cut some 550 to set a trap.
 
cut boxes open. Cut cordage to secure the kayaks to the fence, use the knife to cut some yard waste to fit the pick up can. Probably other tasks as well, but it's hectic here getting ready for Hurricane Matthew. :)
 
I used a regular flatware knife to spread butter on some toast this morning. Yesterday, I cut open a bag of peanuts out of a vending machine that wouldn't tear open easily. Day before that, I cut down a wine box so it would fit in the trash. Day before that, I opened several packages that came in the mail (a large box, multiple smaller internal boxes, and a couple of plastic mailing envelopes).

That's about as far back as my short-term knife usage memory goes.
 
Camera repair (pre-edge retention test)




and accidentally tested the edge retention after 3 days of light use

conclusion: it's sharp.
 
I used a folder to cut veggies and meat for dinner & fruit for dessert, I am going for some natural patina.

1234,,:D
 
I used the nail file blade on my Victorinox Mini Champ to open a can of cat food after the pull ring broke off. Just a little while ago! I am hoping that part won't be cut when they make the movie about my exciting life.
 
Opened 2 cases of bottled water for hurricane prep; also opened two sets of flashlights and batteries and cleaned out some old freezer items (suet for the bird feeder) to make room for ice. Oh yeah, was also slicing open trash bags at work to cover equipment. It got quite the workout today, but I'll have to switch to something more heavy duty if limbs start coming down.
 
Benchmade folder. Cut some 550 cord to tie plants back, boxes, and then my finger folding the blade shut....
 
Opened a couple bags of fertilizer, cut weedeater string with my Manix 2 LW TB. Cleaned dirt from under finger nails with my BM 707. At the moment I'm holding my BM 940-1 just because it makes me feel good.
 
I sharpened some pencils for the kids homework because they lost their sharpener. Opened some packages. I used the canopener on my multi tool to open some beans.
 
Let's see... Opened countless packages at work, cut some shrink wrap, plastic packaging, rubber hose and plastic straps, cut up some cardboard and broke down a few boxes, opened some mail when I got home... The usual. Oh yeah, also slayed a dragon! :D

Had the Stretch 2 today...

We just moved, and this morning I used my Maxamet Mule to break down a buttload of boxes for the recycling bin. Very satisfying.
 
I used my beautiful Jared Oeser trapper to:

Cut up an apple for an afternoon snack
Cut open a box and shrink-wrap for my new Pirtle Made Sheath
Open a box containing some power tools
Open a shipping envelope with a replacement pocket clip for my Fenix P22UE
Cut my finger while fiddling with the knife on my drive home.

I think that covers knife duty for today so far. ;^)
