Which knives do you use around the home for mundane chores?
(Obviously, I don't mean kitchen knives used for preparing meals).

I've noticed that the one I use most often is an old SAK Wenger Classic.
 
Either my S&W (I was young and stupid :o ) folder, or my Morpho deal with any of the house chores. It used to be my delica.
 
I find myself using my BM551 the most now. While I also carry an opinel most of the time, with the lack of a pocket clip its just too annoying to dig out of the pocket. The only reason i'll spend the time taking it out is for when i'm around sheeple.
 
Whatever I'm EDC'ing that day. These days it's usually a Native III.

Everyday chores is why I carry a knife.
 
I keep a couple of old Chicago Cutlery knives in the shop. Made in the USA with "high carbon stainless" steel that sharpens to a mean edge. Otherwise I just grab a kitchen knife.

Which ever I happen to be carrying at the time .

They both see a fair amount of work
 
One of my fixed blades, or perhaps the Spyderco Police or the large Katz. If not one of those I maybe using a box cutter.
 
I have a problem using my "good" knives for so called mundane tasks. I tend to rely on utility knives with replaceable blades more often that I'd like to admit. I have used my Mora to trim cured spray foam insulation because I needed the blade length, and it was a pleasure to use, but if I had used one of my Spyderco Militarys and hit a nail or scraped concrete, I'd be pissed.

Let's see, I always have my FRN PE Jester with me, so that handles everyday package opening, fingernail cleaning, etc. I have a bolo machete in a scabbord mounting on the garden tractor for heavy outdoor yard work. Everything else but food gets cut with one of the old Stanely retractable blade utility knives (I have several) or one of the ubiquitous folding versions,(mine's a Husky brand from Home Cheapo) and there is always a sharp fresh blade handy, even if it's just the flip side. And then there's always the BRK Native.

That's why my Sebenza's and Spydies get carried but not used. Sad really...I have to think about this.
 
I just havent gotten the hang of buying a knife for the kind of $$ that Im scared to use the knife , Ive tried but my wallet just wont let me do it .

I have some knives I realy like , for me , they are CLASS :)
Marttiinis no less :

hey , for me , theyre as close as my $$ go to being class anyway .

I dont use them for everyday work tho , simply because of the public and police reaction to someone who has "Got a Knife!!" when they carry a fixed blade
 
My 'homebody' EDC rotation changes almost as much as my 'work' or 'town' rotations, but these are the ones that I have been EDCing the most for the last couple of months as I just sit around the house: Ka-Bar trapper, Hen and Rooster Congress, Kissing Crane SodBuster, Opinel and a Rough Rider locking Sodbuster. The last is the knife that most surprised me as I was expecting a piece of garbage and got a fairly good knife for the price. The Hen and Rooster and the Opinel are my faves though.
