Today at the grocery store I began wondering... can an Exec's large blade section an apple??? I bought a Gala to find out. Then well after sunset I sat down here at Blade Forum and saw this thread. I decided since I was experimenting with slicing an apple I may as well attempt to take a pic of the Exec at night. Thinking, if it works out I'll enter this GAW forCelloDan .
This is the first pic I've taken with my phone's camera after dark using only ambient lighting. It turned out OK so please accept this an "I'm in" for my friend Dan.

Until today I've always used the Exec's large blade first, saving the smaller of the two for emergency appendectomies etc.Truth be told, the Exec has never been called upon to perform any emergency medical procedures.
Tomorrow I'll test the large blade on an apple. If successful I'll switch to using the small blade first saving the large for food processing.Thus the pic of Blue Exec's small blade with Ben Franklin in profile (eyes covered-incognito).
Looks likeHmmm........nut sack pic tomorrow?
Nice are you still serving,if so what unit/job?Day 2!!! Interesting day at work. Had 3 reported possible UXOs so had to dust off the ole land nav and map reading skills to go find them. Two old C ration cans and old fins from a training mortar round. It was fun to go hunt them down. Spey is riding nicely in the watch pocket.

It was nice of you regardless of the chili. Kudos for being a kind person.I went to a charity cafe nearby to treat myself to lunch,not much on the menu at all.
I ended up with what they called Vegetarian chilli 🌶 I called it vegetables and rice with no taste whatsoever.
A mother and small child sat down near me so I couldnt even use my 15 nor take a photo untill outside.
The 3 year old girl was questioning everything in a loud voice,I could just imagine her shouting"mum whats that man doing with that knife" and everyone looking at me.
Stll the blade shows how much I’ve used it.
