What do you use the pen blade for?

[22-rimfire]

I purposely dull them and use them for things like seperating my boys' legos and other random things like that where sharp isn't really needed.

Used my knife on legos a few times. That's funny.

I like using a small pen for nail-cleaning and delicate, controlled cuts.

I use mine the same ways as others have posted, but lately I have been using the pen on my Peanut to remove staples, it leas a little scratch, but its well worth it. It makes it easy to remove the staple when you unfold the bent ends first. Its the blade I miss when I trade my peanut for my large stockman too,

I had to sit down! Staple remover!

I use the pen blade for the foil on winebottles. I find that on the older knives, at least the swedish ones, that the glass tends to blunt the edge a bit so I like to keep the main blade intact.

Fingernails, and opening letters, is about all mine get used for.

I use mine more as a punch/digger/pokey blade than as a cutting tool. It's what comes out when I need to clean the grass from around the tiller tunes, or when I need to poke a hole in something. Of course, I used my pen blade on my ~90 year old swell end jack to spear orange chicken the other day when I forgot my fork, so I guess I use it for a lot of stuff.

We just had this conversation this past Feb 2013. Lots of good info in the thread.

I think it is the same reference Sarah used above. Gotta love the Search Function in this forum. Thanks Sarah for your effort.

Yep, I'm still using my pen blades in the same way I was in February

Tend to use my main blade for most work. The pen I keep very sharp, especially the point, and use it when I need a detailed and precise cut. A pocket scalpel.

Heh' It just seems to work well, lol.

Careful though, it will leave a small scratch.
