How did you use your Spyderco today?

I used my Millie to cut a tag off of my shirt. I wish there were more tags to cut!

I think that, too. Thanks for making me feel better. :p

- best wishes, Jazz.

Technically wasn't today, but my orange Millie cut up some sandwiches for chef Gordon Ramsay on Sunday.

That is pretty cool!

I used my first Jester to open the box that held my second Jester. I really like that little knife. First knife I ever bought two of the exact same model. The tip is what I really like.

I used my XHP Millie to slice open some heavy duty plastic and carefully dislodged a tiny piece of rock from some tooling we use at work; it was caught in a hole.

Glad to hear you are using that beauty! :D

So far you're right, it grows on you and the size fades away :)
Yesterday I do not know what happened, but the blad was not fully close when I put it back in my pocket :eek: ended up with some slits in my jeans :o this knife is very sharp on factory edge

^^^^ yikes glad you didn't get cut! If you think factory edge is sharp you should see mine after the ultra fine stone on the sharpmaker :D .

I cut a few donuts with my Millie. Then let it loose on a few mail packages that came to me. But the best one I want to share is this.

I used my para and ppt to cut down 4- 2.5'' branches orr a tree. Then battoned the wood with my para for fun, both lock up solid

I cut up some small cardboard boxes with my new Jester.

GB sliced up this Gala apple. I was tempted to let the patina begin, but gave in and washed the blade with soap and water after.

Cut off the old nozzle of a hose so I could replace it with a new one. Used my blue para.

The other day I was checking the gate on my backyard fence because it wouldn't close properly. ( treated lumber that has dried and warped a bit over time. )

I did a few things and tried adjusting things with the tools I have but nothing was going to work. I was going to have to borrow a wood plane from my dad in law...

As I was walking away, I realized my Para2 was in my pocket so I whipped it out and went at that gate and post in all the areas where it was rubbing. 5 minutes later, I had a big pile of shavings on the ground and my fence closed nicely...

I was actually amazed at how easily that thing sliced through that wood and the edge was still very sharp afterwards. I've been using a Wicked Edge since Christmas and I have to say that the final stropping step that I never used to do seems to have a huge effect on edge retention.

So I was feeling a tad gloomy due to the few issues I had with my SB Caly 3.5 today. Used it to cut up a larger box and make a smaller one to ship the Caly to Spyderco in.

The smaller box came out rather well. So packed the Caly in it and took it to the post office to post it. As usual, post office has rules and my own box could not be used. So had to buy another box (which was incidentally the same size as the one I cut up) to put the smaller box in for posting. Oh well, day was really getting very gloomy now. At least I had fun making the smaller box.

So posted it to Spyderco today in a box with much stuffing as I could find so that the actual Caly don't bounce about too much. Apologies in advance to Spyderco staff who will be opening it when received.

Nice info on knife usage Jet B. What was the blade metal please?

I used my G-10 ZDP Delica to open some mail and showed it to my son. Nothing special

I am carrying the PPT today. Just a tad displeased that I did not get a chance to use the knife except for this staged photo taken with the iPhone.
