Hi all!

I was wondering what sorts of materials your Kershaws cut on a daily basis, or have cut. I've cut zipties, miles of cardboard, opened weeks of mail, whittled many pounds of wood, and even some rubber kickballs in half to make bird feeder covers.

And all of you have cut what?
 
To be honest, mine mostly cut packing tape (opening boxes), zip ties, and kapton tape.

...oh, and I'll occasionally use my 0301 when eating lunch at work to make it clear I don't want to be disturbed. ;)
 
interesting topic. daily i cut packing tape, lotso cardboard, zipties, and styrofoam packign inserts. i also score plastic posterboard to then break, i've (and don't shoot me) used the tips of knives to drill holes in the same posterboard for holes to thread zipties and make a divider for a shelf. i've cut an A/C powercord with my zt0200.

on the less daily side, i have used my knives for food prep, and steak cutting.

again, cool topic!
 
honestly. it was caught under a door that was locked and attached to something heavy me and a friend were carrying to my car, and i took it out, put it in my left hand and simply let gravity carry the knife through the cord. it was so perfect the inner wires didn't bend, they just were cleaved in two :)
 
i know right? i wish i had remembered to take a picture, it was my 200's first walk in the wild and it was everything everyone has said it would be.
 
when I'm working with my knives I'm always having to strip back cable jacketing (thus I love my flatground blades).

le sigh, if only my favorite knife manufacturer (kershaw) would make a flatground hawkbill, (that was under 190$, bleh superhawk), I would be in heaven.

I hear you bro.....for a long while I have wondered what company could do that for a reasonable sum.....*cough*Kershaw*cough* :D
 
i'd buy one. how bout some anodized aluminum scales with carefully placed g10 inserts, a studlock and 4 corner drills for tip down sheeple carry and tip up so the wave hook in the 14c28 sandvik will be in prime position to open the knife in a hurry. we should have a collaboration between ken onion for the studlock and AO possibilities and grant and gavin hawk for everything wonderful they bring to the table.

any takers?
 
I cut the usual, cardboard, zip ties, rope, plastic clam shell wrap, mail, hair on my arms, etal..

I also use it to cut tape occasionally, but I hate having glue residue on my blades.
 
i despise the residue as well. so i keep alcohol wipes at my desk which gets rid of it easily and doesn't harm the blade :)
 
I cut tape, cardboard, duct tape when I have to bind and gag trespassers, shortening straws for my son's restaurant drinks, twist ties on toy packaging, bags of mulch and fertilizer, and tires of people who cut me off in traffic or steal my parking spaces.

Run interference with my wife, and I'm there.
 
Carpet, yarn, boxes, tape, rubber nylon belts, plastic straps...I could go on and on. ;)

Can't wait to hear from G-Man. :D
