How did you use your Spyderco today?
Laying around after having foot surgery on Friday. Feeling totally useless and looking for something to cut up I saw an extra large pizza box that would not fit into our kitchen trash can. Crutched on over and used my Para 2 and turned it into 30 small pieces of smelly cardboard. Now I feel better.

I just cup up a lot of the usual today...corrugated boxes.
A random tip for you box cutter guys out there, try slicing at a 45 degree angle through sheets....it's a lot easier than going at it straight in at 90 degrees. It allows the board to spread apart easier than if you slice through it straight. Try it sometime...the difference is like going from a dull knife to a sharp knife.

It's 5am for me. My daughter wanted to stick a Pokemon figure on a pencil she takes to school. So cut away the top of a HB pencil to slide on the Pokemon using my SB Caly. She was so happy that she asked me to do the same for her two back up pencils. She's seven now.

Today i literally planed the top of a door in my house with my Paramilitary. It's been rubbing for a while now and i got sick of it. I don't own a wood plane so this was the next best/sharp thing. It was pretty hard work trying to shave such thin slices but it worked out nicely.

PPT vs DHL package
Used my PPT to open up a DHL package. Found that the blade shape is excellent when slicing the outer pack without damaging the bag inside.
Notice the clean cut :D

I used my PPT to cut the skin of my right foot toe yesterday and did not report it. So, yes, it counts. As long as the blade performed well, its all good :Dokbohn wrote:I used a Native to cut my thumb....does that count?
