We have many trees in the house and all must have presents under them to "look finished". :D The look she gave me when I was using the Spyderco instead of scissors was priceless.
Yep, women do not understand these "manly" notions of us knife nuts.

Between the serrated edges of the Dragonfly Salt (yesterday), and Aqua Salt (today), this box of litchis did not stand a change.

Today we used the Sharpmaker to teach my son how to sharpen a SAK. We did this to work on his Whitlin Chit for Cub Scouts. He got it paper slicing sharp all on his own. No blood letting either. Couldn't be prouder. Thanks Spyderco for making a Scout friendly sharpener that really works.

I used my PM2 to open a box containing two more boxes. The two boxes contained a Cricket and a Dragonfly, and they also needed to be opened using the PM2, because they were sealed with tape. The Cricket is for me and the Dragonfly is a gift for my daughter.

My Blue Lava opened my mail, broke down Christmas boxes, and unwrapped my presents. My Hungarian finally found it's way into my apprehensive hands... glad it did. My first Sharpmaker is scaring the ****e out of all of my Spydies! Happy Holidays, all!

My Southard had to take up the slack for a world-renowned tacticool lightsaber that was having trouble with box tear-down duties. And, ohhh did it take up the slack… ;)

I peeled through some mail like butter with my Chaparral, just put a fresh edge on it with the Sharpmaker using the Jdavis882 method.

Traveling cross country, my car's AC compressor seized. This became appearant when a burning smell started coming out of my vents and when smoke started leaking from the hood. My Caly 3 came to the rescue in the middle-of-nowhere West Virginia. I got back on the road with minimal time lost and the pride I was able to fix this myself!

10 mins later my windows were FOGGED over!

610 miles down, 704 to go. Uncle.
