What knife do you use for "stupid" jobs

[res1cue]

I keep a kobun and caracara2 for my GF to use in the kitchen. She always complains that the kitchen knives aren't sharp enought, but I stopped letting her use the Nimravus after I saw her scrap the blade across ceramic to get a bit of food off of it!

Let's see...I think I'd get fired if I deliberately used a knife with a hammer for cutting wire. I never cut wire with a knife, only insulation. I carry at least 5 hand tools that have integrated wire cutters built into, way faster and cleaner cut. Pretty sure I can break all my knives without trying very hard but why...
Anyways, my the most used knife is this one.

Is that knife discontinued???

Yes, 913, it has been discontinued..

They aren't safe for "stupid" jobs. Instead of Frost Cutlery knives, I keep some old kitchen knives in the shop for dirty and 'stupid' jobs. At least I know the kitchen knives won't fold up on my fingers or fall apart. And they have better steel too.

In answer to the OP's question, "What knife do you use for "stupid" jobs?", not mine.

And +1 to what Ankerson said below.

I don't use a knife for stupid jobs around the house because I have tools.

There are no stupid jobs, only stupid ways of doing jobs. There are stupid forms of play, but a job to me is a task that needs to be accomplished.

Recently I was thinning out a massively overgrown bird of paradise bush on my property. After hacking off most of the excess with a machete, I needed to trim all the hacked stalks close to the soil. The machete was too big and imprecise if I swung it that low. Hand pruners would not fit between the crowded stems.

Walking into the shop I saw the perfect tool hanging on a magnet. It was a 4" serrated paring knife in cheap stainless with a small molded handle. It worked really well and I stored it with the garden tools when I was done. This knife was inherited from a deceased woodworker - I don't know what she used it for in her shop - and, being a knife snob, I had almost given it away. Sure glad I kept it! This was one job where a serrated blade was the perfect tool.
