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

[berzerker]

Used my SAK (all screwdrivers, both blades, and pliers) to rebuild 9 body cords for my foil and saber fencers.

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.

haha :thumbup::thumbup:

Sliced open a 40 pound bag of dogfood with the sheepsfoot blade on a stockman. I pounced on it out of nowhere ninja style and spilled it open with one slice just to add some manliness to the task.

This morning was the battle of the bird seed bags.

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.

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.

Carl.

Finally, some redemption :thumbup:

I sharpened the 2 Congresses I used over the weekend and didn't oil the joints.

That provided quite a visual in my mind

I've heard of Natural Born Killer, but Natural Born Kibble?

...the horror...(spilled in cold blood...uh, food, I guess...)

I used my mighty Case Red Stag Peanut to cut a tiny rectangle piece of disposable towel to back up/dampen the replacement external/rear speaker for my cell phone. Maybe not so manly but highly technical, I can assure you. It performed with surgical accuracy and now I have ringage.

It appears that knifemaking and the resultant micro-chunks of metal that fly about is somewhat hard on cell phones.

It was a mess I tell you and the smell was horrific, too! I disposed of the remains in a sealed metal container. I plan to feed a little bit of it to my dogs on a daily basis until the evidence is all gone. No one will be the wiser ... well, except y'all!

An OTC topical fungacide will clear that up in no time.

We had our works Thanksgiving dinner last week. I used my Yella soddie to carve up one of the four turkeys that was available.

For me I think Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Traditional holidays I cut my teeth on, are also the slip joint time of year.
My Grandfather who always had his trusty Barlow handy for the tasks at hand. A tradition I have passed on to my child.
From helping peel chestnuts to cutting ribbon and tape for packages.

From the weekend on we are doing the prep. work for our Thanksgiving meal, and we have much to be thankful for. Today we finishing making 2 favors of (Traditional) homemade ice cream for the up coming meal this week. I cut up the semi-sweet chocolate with a Traditional kitchen knife and worked over the stove putting the ingredients together.

You are probably thinking where is the slip joint? Well other than tasks for cutting with work inside and outside the house, that requires a knife this time of year.
There is one more task that is perfect for the Case 3 5/8 amber bone stockman spey blade in mirror polished Tru Sharp stain steel. Remember the the very rich homemade ice cream? The small blade makes a perfect tiny mirror to watch your waistline with so not to shock yourself by what you see in a Large Bathroom mirror.

I used my GEC Wharnciffe Jack to liberate a new-to-me CSC Stockman in Amber Carved Bone that was caught in a nasty bubble wrap trap.

Later, my GEC Dogleg Jack to slice up some kielbasa.

Sharpened the coping blade and stopped the dog shop knife. Since it got used on two dog collars over the weekend that were pretty gritty. We are in horse country at one shop and we get a lot of working dogs.(or at least they are running around with the horses all day having a blast.) The metal-snap collars on these two labs had rusted shut.

(I made Ken do this blade combo, so no poking fun at him over the design.)

Used this bad boy to mortally wound some mail and slice up an apple for breakfast. It is not near as pretty as the picture Kerry took of it a while back. The apple will never be the same.

Bastid,

What is the Ivory knife? I am sure I just saw a similar knife, it is very nice.

Are you sure, you didn't use this as a screwdriver?

BTW I like this knife.

I opened up a USPS bag, that had a manly PLOMB WF-17 socket extension in it.

I used my case mini-trapper to open a container of trailmix to snack on while I typed the paperwork to get a warrant to arrest a thief. I'll look for the now wanted thief tomorrow.
