What MANLY thing did your (traditional) knife do today?

I was at the rec center watching my son's basketball practice when all of a sudden the old soda vending machine started arcing and sparking! We didn't have access to the breakers so we knocked the plug out with a broom stick. All the parents were standing around talking about what a hazard it is and how someone should put a sign on it or something? Well I pulled out my Case mini trapper and just cut the damn cord off. The looks on their faces was priceless! Turns out one of the kids decided to plug it in to see if it worked, thank God he wasn't hurt. I don't know if it was manly or just plain vandalism but I wasn't willing to risk another kid trying it again because he didn't read a sign.

Brilliant. You just became a legend I'd wager. ;)

A resourceful man with a good knife saves the day. Good one.:thumbup:
 
Thin sliced garlic cloves to add to the Bison, Bleu Cheese, and Bacon Meatloaf with my GEC Sunfish.
 
CASE Swayback Chestnut, to trim the plastic from a 'grease sausage' to be hung out for the birds. Poor mites enjoy this on these cold gloomy days.
 
Hard use today. Used my Wiseman front pocket to cut a bagel and also cut open a package of new socks to wear to work.
 
Emerson Mini CQC-15 used to break down countless boxes in the warehouse today, and greatly helped me peel my orange at lunch.

Nice knife, LL, but the wrong forum. Please read our forum guidelines (at the top of the forum page).

A man came into our trauma bay today with a dislocated knee and no blood flow to his lower leg. I needed to cut a cardboard box splint to size so we could immobilize the leg while rushing him to the operating room. All sharp objects in the room were being used for other things, so used my Queen #2 serpentine jack, which cut through the heavy cardboard like it was butter. We managed to save the leg too.:D
 
My Barlow ran into a burning building and saved the lives of a woman and her three children :D:D:D

Best regards

Cut a straw down to size and cut up a maris gras bead necklace and made a poodle out of it for my girl.

Not just manly but HEROIC too:D

More down to earth here. CASE Small Texas Jack to open a USPS flat box, all the way from the USA to Scandinavia. Contents: One Buck 302 single blade yellow handle. A present from a very generous forumite:thumbup: Great start to the day for sure!
 
I had to cut the cyanide laced peel off of an apple, then I had to dissect it to make sure there wasn't a razor blade inside. :thumbdn:

I also opened two stevia packet to put into my coffee, I don't believe the tear here label.

Funny but I too find that I use a knife to open things I could clearly just tear but what's the fun of that? :)
