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

I cut the bottom out of an empty quart oil "bottle" to make a funnel out of it to pour the new oil into the engine after the oil drain and filter change. Used my Bulldog canoe for the task. Also cut some cardboard for packing with it as well. No small game to clean though.

It was a busy, busy day for knives. First, I had to cut the plastic closure holding the garden/leaf bags together. Since Monday is the last day of leaf pick up, I had to cut two closures. Two bags of bird seed had to be opened. And, I had to open a 6 pack of paper towels since windows needed to be cleaned. For lunch a different knife sliced cheese, salami, bread; and, split a couple of hard boiled eggs. Finally, the kitchen continues to be active. My wife is using, among other knives, the knives her father used in his Swedish meat market when he was alive. I should post pics of those knives ..........
 
I have you guys all beat. I used my Ohta earlier today to perform surgery on myself. It was a bit dicey there for a moment, but the modified wharncliffe blade made short work of a bothersome splinter.

I used my brand new stag beauty to cut open some Patron tequila boxes to display the bottles for holiday cheer.
Did I mention I manage a Liquor store :D
Below the GEC is a shot of my back room.
Not the best picture. I took it with my cell phone.
What you see is for the front area displays. More on the way for backstock.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING :thumbup:

Cleaned a limit of quail and pheasants from my morning hunt with my best friend. Used my Case slim trapper with cv blade. My favorite pattern for dressing small game.
 
Used a Queen #41 Copperhead with stag scales to skin and gut three squirrels this morning. Don't know about manly, but there was lots of blood? :p
 
My Buck 303 cut open a half dozen bags of wood chips and several lengths of weed cutter fabric. I'd normally use my Stanley, but couldn't find it. It was a shame Home Depot wasn't open today; it would have been more.
 
I opened up my latest arrival priority box from the good ol' U.S ..used one of my later buys ...a Case/ bose to open the box, also used my GEC Jack at work today.

Carved the prime rib roast right out of the oven... chopped onions for the dressing, and cut cheese for the au -graten cream corn, ate the prime rib...
 
Used my Moore Maker Sodbuster to cut the top off an aluminum can. Used the can to pour bacon grease in after making BLTs. Just a quick touch-up and the soddie was shaving sharp again.
 
Went plinking today at my dad's house and used the Turkish clip blade from my Queen City Trapper to dislodge the spent casings from my lever action Winchester .22 rifle that would occasionally get stuck. Nice cold day here in Ohio to play outside! Matt
 
My Case Trapper slept in my pocket all day, today. A Manly Power Nap, you might say. :D
 
I used the sheepsfoot blade on my CSC stockman to open a 5lb bag of peanuts.
 
My CV Trapper sliced some garlic sourdough and then spread 3 pepper hummus on the bread. That was manly enough for me.
 
I shredded the evil box containing two knives i bought as presents for friends with my spyderco delica...i then eviscerated an evil carrot for my lunch, and later for dinner i slivered an apple or two for dessert.....oh what a full flat VG-10 foliage green g10 delica can do!!
 
I opened a box with some victoria's secrets stuff in it. Not so manly, but my wife appreciated it. Then I did a few sappling removals in the garden and cut out some fresh vegetables. Broccoli after the first few frosts is the most awesome of stuff.
 
Sharpened them up today. Gave the butterbean to the wife this afternoon to open a toy for the kid. As for manly uses sharpening was the manliest thing I did with a knife today.
 
Today I was painting the half bathroom on the main floor of the house. I used a Vic classic to cut some plastic disposable drop cloth to exactly fit the top of the vanity. Cut some painters tape to secure plastic over the toilet. Used the little screw driver tip to remove the light switch cover and electrical outlet cover. After, used the sd tip to replace covers.

Opened mail.

Remove splinter from left thumb.

I used my Mercator black kat to trim some plastic inserts on chain rails I was assembling at work. Did this by beating it with a plastic mallet. Then I deburred the aluminum edges of said chain rail with the knife. Sharpened the dings out of the blade to keep my hands busy on break.

I've been trying to see whether I would break this knife first or sharpen it away, it's been a "test" ;^).

I only do this work all day one day a week on average, and I think I finally bent the backspring last week 'cause it doesn't close all the way now. Still, it's lasted 2+ years.

Surprisingly durable for a cheap knife.
 
Used the CASE Wharncliffe Mini Trapper to cut up lengths of insulation for the pipes, the cold snap had frozen the hot-water tank, -17C ALREADY. I hate winter:grumpy:
