Would it help to say I did catch the fly in mid air.( 2nd swipe)...and after the fly hitting the concrete wall...my work mate didnt believe me that I caught it...so the death plunge into the wall it took...!

Took my ever faithful companion, The Black Shadow (Brent Cramer L/Clip) and cut the last of this years tomatos of the vine. Sliced them up, then into the frying pan. Cut some slices from a rye loaf of bread, cracked open a couple of eggs with the blade and had me fried eggs (over easy) and toms on toast. Ready to face the world again, I then went back into the garden and cut some flowers for my other faithful companion....(my WIFE - not my dog !!) :)
Well, sometimes you have to Manly to act like a GIRL! :D
 
Used my medium Case Stockman to bust open a 6 roll pack of toilet paper.
Good thing it was sharp too, because I was in a big hurry.:thumbup:
 
I cut the crossword puzzle from the local newspaper. Got all the manly words without a problem but I had to look up some words about fancy colors and fashions and daytime talk shows.
 
I sliced some wicked tape on a cluster of organic bananas. with my sway back.
 
Over the weekend, Used 2 Congress slip joints to peel 2 pounds of Chestnuts for the stuffing in a 22 pound Turkey.

Is that Traditional or what? :):D
 
Yesterday, my Vic Cadet remained in my right pocket in companionable silence with my change and keys. It's the strong, silent type.

Use the clip blade on my Queen Cocobolo Mini-Trapper to cut the baby straps off of toddler stroller. I am taking the family to Disney World on vacation next week and my four-year old girl might need a rest, but she doesn't need all those extra buckles. Scared the heck out of my wife how easy that D2 went through the woven nylon.
 
As I've long thought, we manly men ain't afraid to sensitive if the situation warrants it.:D
 
Well,. yesterday. Used my Mora #1 (that's pretty traditional right? red wooden handle, no guard) to cut and trim the leather on a sheath I am making for my ESEE-5 (that's pretty manly right? making a leather sheath for another knife?)
 
I used mine when scrapbooking, to cut delicate pieces of fine Italian paper which I fashion into the shapes of unicorns and rainbows. I also use my slipjoint to trim antique lace, which I incorporate in my side-business of designing wedding dresses. Sometimes, when I am restoring 1940's purses, I cut the threads with my knife. I also trim fabulous recipes from Martha Stewart's Living magazine, and open packages of sun-dried tomatoes when I prepare brunch.

I am way manlier than you guys.

Rode in my pocket, but later on at work my Marbles large Stockman is at least going to cut up an apple.

I know we are civilized, but still.... I feel like I am letting my knives down lately. Kinda like having a good hunting dog and never taking it hunting

If you stay here all the time, you don't have to worry about the Tactical and Survival stuff :D
 
This morning was the battle of the bird seed bags.:D

My weapon of the moment was my mighty mite classic from my keyring sheath. First up was the saflower seed bag. A brand new 20pound plastic bag of seed to be opened. I knew it was a long shot, but I plunged in the sharp little inch and three quarter blade and sliced. The bag opened up and the bird feeder was filled. Whew!

Next up was yet another plastic seed bag, this time the thistle for the finch feeder. It was a challenge, but the classic prevailed over the bird seed bags. The birds are fed, Karen is happy, and I need to go strop the little classic for it's heroic job.

An hour later the UPS truck dropped off a package. Karen put it on the kitchen counter and asked me to open it. I felt the classic needed a break from all the cutting, so I reached into my pocket. Groping fingers felt the jigged bone of a trusty peanut. I opened my chestnut bone CV peanut and faced the box. It was sitting there on the counter, malevolently waiting for me. :eek:

I knew it was my move, so I approached and with a quick stab the needle pointed blade of the peanut went into the cardboard in a motal wound to the box. A quick sawing slice, and the top was open, freeing the scarf that Karen had ordered from Chico's.

It's been a tough day so far. Evil plastic bags of birdseed, malevolent cardboard box. I need a R&R, but I'll have to settle for a Evan William's toddy.

I sharpened the 2 Congresses I used over the weekend and didn't oil the joints. :eek: :D
 
Used my Tidioute #48 to trim the edges of some blueprints that came out of the plotter.
The girls in the office thought I looked very manly doing that.....at least I think so :confused::D
