I know similar threads to this one have existed in the past but they are always interesting to read.
On that note- what have you cut, chopped, stabed, sliced or sheared today?

Me?- i chopped up some birch with my Zambezi 6" and unpeeled a bananda with my buck 110 (no i usually dont use hunting knives to eat fruit but the damn top broke off :P)
 
The only thing so far today i have used my SOG Trident folder to open a package containing a Swamp Rat Knife Works Battle Rat! :D
 
This is one of those low use days for me. So far I have used my Spyderco Endura for a single task, opening a power bar after my workout. I have the day off so that may explain it. I use a knife many times throughout my work day.:)
 
Opened an envelope today. A few days ago i cleared some brush by the house with a Buck 119, that was pretty fun.
 
I used a stockman to peel a mango. It worked very well, and as an added benefit the mango seems to be facilitating the formation of a lovely grey patina.
 
I've gotten some fairly good use from both my knives I carried today. BM leopard cub has, opened a new mouse for a comp, and many other boxes trimmed carpeting, hose, floor edgeing, door seals, and some wooden trim. The SAK cadet was used to remove and replace elec, socket covers, screws on a toilet seat replacement, and a few closet door handles. The rest of the day looks like it will be more paper work than anything so probably not much more.
 
I just finished breaking down 25 boxes that our last part shipment arrived in with a Benchmade 520. Earlier today, I used the same knife to open those boxes and inspect the parts.
 
I cut some tape toay but yesterday I got to cut a ham and salami sub in half with it.
 
I used my Leatherman Supertool 200 to dismantle/re-install a maglock armature on a service call (real tools were propping the door open). Earlier in the day, I used my Spyderco Native and Victorinox Hiker while wiring some control panels. I like to score the cable jackets with my knife instead of wire strippers then pull the jacket off - helps to keep from nicking the wires inside. The cables also have a tough little string inside them that just begs to be sliced off. And of course there is the daily spreading of multiple knives on the desk and playing with them thing when I get home.
 
I used my Vic Farmer to cut an avocado. Other than that, nothing to exciting. My Wife is having one of those candle parties tonight. I have been asked to "help with clean up" after it's over and "not drink to much":rolleyes:. Maybe I will use it to cut my throat and ease the pain;) :D .

I used my chive to open a package containing a leek!
 
I play with my knives much more than I use them.

So far, I have just clicked a cheap OTF a few times, and flipped my Spyderfly a bit.

I did try to record the ringing of the Spyderfly, but my mp3 player couldn't record it.
 
Hmm, today I haven't actually USED any of my knives, except for flipping my bali for a while. Yesterday I had to cut some boxes though.
 
i used my vic huntsman lite to fix a screw on a vault lid before a funeral.had to make it look good for the family.:)
