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

Cut open a box of wine glasses with a Buck 302 that Ed J very kindly sent me. It's a fine single blade kind of 'Stockman' shape.

Then I put the wine glasses to use:D

It also cut open the breakfast oranges for juicing and trimmed broccoli in the kitchen. MANLY enough for me:thumbup:
 
Used my GEC single blade scout to cut some 550 paracord so I could wrap the handle of another American made knife (Becker BK11).

Afterward I beat my chest and yelled into the trees.

:D
 
Used my case large stockman to open a pack of light bulbs, had to change a taillight,and then whittled a flower for my wife.
 
Helped decorate a float for our local St. Patrick's Day parade. Used my Buck 303 to cut twine, plastic sheeting, zip ties, and even some floral wire.

One of the other guys there commented on how sharp the knife was. I told him of course it's sharp; it's a knife. That's like having the worlds most powerful computer but no electricity; what's the point?
 
I put my Peanut straight to work out of the box. It showed it's worth, cutting open a fresh package of toilet paper. A tuff, manly job, but I knew it was up for the task. :D

I used my knife to fine tune a watch. Seriously.

My nephew wears one of those cheap kiddie watches. His specific watch is of the SpongeBob SquarePant design. When I saw it I noticed that the time was a bit off. I tried to adjust it, but the mode selector was this small, recessed button that needed to be pressed to be used. I looked around for a makeshift tool to no avail. I then remembered that I was carrying my Schatt & Morgan Harness Jack. Eureka! The punch was just the right size for accessing the mode selector. A few seconds later I had the watch properly set, with the correct time and date. My nephew thanked me and told me I'm the coolest. It's funny, I don't think he actually knows how to tell time yet but I always appreciate it when someone recognizes a job well done.

So I didn't exactly repair an automatic Rolex. That's okay, my nephew thinks I'm awesome. :D

Today I used my small saddlehorn to slice open the bubble pack on a new toothbrush (clip blade), and also to depress the detent ball on a sliding tube which holds the canopy on my grandson's baby crib (slender skinner blade).

Both blades executed their respective tasks with perfect efficiency.

I used my Buck 301 to open sacks of drainage rock for a moat along one side of my home.
