What's the last thing you CUT with your handsome, high-tech, expensive knife?

(I'm tired of glutting this forum with redundant threads, so here's a fresh one...)

Today I used my Sebenza to slice a peach and an apple; to open a few letters; to shave some hair off of my friend's arm (he'd never seen my knife before); to slice some newspaper for no good reason (I'm developing a callus on the pad of my right thumb from playing with this knife for hours each day); to cut a sprig of pine to poke some burning charcoal; and to shave my nipple hair.

Perhaps the reason for this post is that today, when looking for a computer to buy for college, I felt a twinge of buyer's remorse when I remembered how much I'd spent on my Sebenza. I remember being reluctant to pay $40 for a Gerber knife. But this is the most solid knife I've ever laid hands on, and I hope to get some hard use out of it on my upcoming backpacking trip. Perhaps then I'll warm up to the idea of owning a $300 knife.

Knives are made to CUT!

Razor,

I would have to agree that it is way to much information.

Monkey,

It is easy to get buyer's remorse when you have purchased anything expense. Don't let it get you down, realize how much enjoyment you are going to get out of it and look for reasons to use it...just don't scare the sheeple.
 
Well my most expensive knife is a LCC.Took a couple of my co-workers out on my boat bass fishin' yesterday(they were hitting good)and I cut some nightcrawlers in 1/2.
 
well it certainly wasnt to manicure any hairy parts of my body as i have a portable battery powered bush hog for that task....i used my small seb to open multiple packages of medical sundries for the office....feverdoc
 
The very last thing I used it for yesterday was to open a package I brought home from work. Guess what was in said package ;)
 
well, i have yet to acquire a really expensive blade, but my favorite high-quality knife (my bm42as) saw its most recent bit of use sa****ay night at a party, where i was commissioned to chop up a pineapple. :rolleyes:
don't worry, it's not all gunky. wiped 'er down with a moist paper towel, then a dry one, & finally some tuff-cloth action.
and i really would've expected our beloved vampiregerbil to chime in with some nipple-shaving stories... :barf:
peace.

p.s. - a moderator should perhaps take a peek at the filter software used for this forum. we can't type certain words, like sa****ay (the day before sunday) because a certain word is contained therein that has to do with fecal matter and it replaces said word with a bunch of *s.
 
Let me get this straight: we can say "shave my nipple hair" but we can't say the days of the week?
 
StJames took my answer, but I'll give it anyway. The last thing I used my knife for is probably the same thing I'll use it for next; opening a package containing a new knife.

Say, have you ever noticed knife guys tape up packages really well? I have a theory about that. It gives the other guy another chance to use his blade.
 
I used my Seby last night to trim the insulation on a melted battery terminal wire. Don't ask why the wire melt. Okay, okay, I put a new battery in the car and stupidly connected the postive lead to the negative post. Yeah, yeah, no excuses.:o
 
I was a weed-whackin' fool last night, and there was one big ole sunflower plant that the whacker just wouldn't whack...

So I sebenza'd it!

Then I popped a top with it after a job well done...

;)

THUMB!Owww!!:eek:

Tuna steaks into sashimi for my 3 year old daughter last night and a peach for her this morning.
 
With my small Sebenza -- a big chunk out of a cardboard box. My (estranged) wife and I went for a drive / walk in the mountains and she found a nice lichen-covered rock which I brough back in the bed of my truck. I cut a piece of cardboard off some nearby building materials to lay it in the back of her Durango.

I was _amazed_ how easily it went through the cardboard.

I haven't cut anything with my Mike Obenauf because I can't seem to get the D2 blade sharp. I am optimistic though.

I used my blue BM940 to open the boxes my 154CM EDC and Mike Obenauf came in. Seems I mostly open packages containing other knives with my knives.

I cleaned perchs with my LCC.

I wanted to check how it performs that kind of a job - it did it with flying colours :) :cool:

I've kept it with me along this summer and now at last I've lost my heart for it.

It even replaced my Roselli Carpenter's knife when we went to my parents summer cottage - a thing can't be done easily.
