What did you use your SAK for today?

[Wild Willie]

Tightened the stitching on my baseball glove.

Cutting wrapping paper

Took a run through the garden early today and picked some beans and broccoli.
Using my Huntsman to cut the florets off the broccoli and "top and tail" the beans.
Small blade is perfect for this.

Needed to clean up a contact point on a smoke detector. It decided to start chirping at 4 AM. New battery didn’t solve it so down it came until this morning. Also cleaned the fly dung off of it

 

[WValtakis]

Cutting tubing and pokin' holes in style

There’s nothing worse than a smoke detector chirping in the middle of the night. Especially when you can’t figure out which one it is.

Bantam opened a packet of chewable antibiotic for the fur kid, cut up a big box to put in the can, and finished off with opening a bottle of Bulldog root beer.

It’s growing on me.

A little fireplace project today. Schrade 881 needed a partner…

I used the little Fireant this morning with my vintage Camper, works a treat!
"Bushmans Alfoil" (Paperbark) makes awesome tinder once roughed up a bit with the saw.

Slicing up some tomato while the fire burns down.

Pure sweetness, the little chocolate isn't bad either.

Was cutting weeds for the wife with this neglected set of clippers. The jaws were getting stuck open, and I kept having to use the SAK bottle opener as a prybar... shot them up with some PB Blast before putting them away again.

It´s funny that it´s called a parcel hook (if what I have heard is right), because on old Swedish ladies knives it was said to be used to tighten boot and corset laces, and that tool is only seen on smaller ladies knives

It's certainly suited to the task. My most common use for the hook is actually pulling throw line to set ropes. Works great in that role.

Today, I pulled the spark arrester from a saw with the swisschamp. No pics, sorry.

Comes from the time that boxes sent through the mail were tied closed. The hook was used to secure the none working end of the string while the working end was tied securely around all 6 sides of the box. With out a hook or a third hand, it is very hard to get the string tight. That's why it's called a parcel hook.

I love this kind of deeper information

Used my Spikediesel Passenger to help replace a fuel line on my kicker motor today.

 

[zanussi01]

Used my Nylon Huntsman to put a screw in the wall for the 2 I/C.
Quicker than trying to find a screwdriver.

The usual pull the vacuam apart for clean, no 1 else will do it
