What is your favorite or most used non-standard use of a blade?

I wear my mora class #1 around my neck while walking barefoot to pretend like to Cody Lundin (around the house).:)
 
Not a knife but I've found the hammer poll of the CS tomahawk is an excellent back scratcher.
 
I dig with my machete. Tighten screws with the spine of my delica. But my favorite is busting open coconuts with the spine of my BK2. It'll bust open pretty much anything now that I think about it.
 
Picking my nails/teeth, cutting away dead skin, shaving, eating in restaurants. I generally use my SAK when at a restaurant, but at a place my friend owned I used my ESEE 6 (damn good waitstaff when that came out of the sheath, too).
 
Pounding plastic anchors into concrete walls with the butt of whatever my EDU is.Saves wear and tear on my screwdriver's but and means I don't have to haul a hammer around. - 'specially when goin up and down ladders all day.

I usually use the blade for stuff like that... No I've never cut myself doing it- no matter how sharp the knife, but if I did- oh well the itch is gone:D
 
I cut rope with mine. Only in this thread would that be called non-standard! :)

A lot more bathroom stuff going on with your knives than I would have ever imagined, or cared to know about. Thanks for all the visuals!

the zombie apocalypse can happen anywhere. ANYWHERE!

Edit (too busy acting foolish, forgot too add to thread)
I exclusively use my BK13 for striking my fire steel. The factory spine is awesome and I find if I put my wrists together at the last second the fire steel travels just along the curved edge and adds a few extra sparks that can get a real decent arc. Looks foolish but I haven't found anyone who can debate it's effectiveness.

I use my EDC of the day to pry the tip from my E-cigarette so I can refill it throughout the day.
 
I am going to say the love of weaponry on the porcelain princess must be an evolutionary trait. We would have been very vulnerable when pushing out some woolly mammoth sausages.
 
Obviously, some people like to short out high-voltage car parts with them. Do not attempt to reproduce, it looks horrible.
 
My roomate once used a china made cheepy to hang a curtain(didn't get our security deposit back on that place).
 
i use the the pointy end of my antler handled edc as a stylus for the touchscreen of electronic scanner @ work. I have also used it to remove lint from my belly button. My Condor Golok sees a lot of use as a pizza cutter, the first time I was thinking "man this crust is tough" I was actually cutting through the cardboard, the wifey laughed at me. (My apologies that neither knife mentioned is a Becker)
 
I've used the living Hell out of my Native IIIWRCUR (Waved, Re-Contoured [handle], Convexed, Un-Jimped, Re-Jimped), for so many things knives weren't meant to do. The wave hook I created makes for a pretty effective prying tool, and bottle opener, and the much sharper and more effective spine jimping makes a pretty decent file for softish materials. When I can scrape up some cash, I plan on seeing what all I can do with a BK2, which I've decided will become an EDC (after I convex it, add some jimping, maybe a swedge to shave some weight...) I may have a problem.
