Which had Christmas duty?

#1

Post by rorschach »

I have 2 kids and relatives visiting, so lots of things to snipped, plastic clamshell to be split etc. My trusty PE cricket for light work, and my VG-10 flat grind endura to break down the boxes afterward. A fun day for a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>-phile.

My PE Nav 'Kat saw the most use... snipping tape and ties...

My millie was used a couple times, as the serrations work REALLY well on those plastic ties to hold tags on...

Haven't broken the boxes down yet, we might still use them downstairs, but the Endura works well on pizza boxes.

My SS plainedge Copilot seemed to be just the ticket, backed up by a SS serated Delica. After all, I was all dressed up.

No presents opened today, but a few weeks ago my SpyderHawk sliced open several toy-packages over an 8 day period. Not a single problem for the 'Hawk...just slipped the tip under the lexan-plastic they use to package stuff, and zip!

Large Dyad, worked great breaking down a few boxes afterward. It also worked great lancing a blister from shoveling snow this morning, but I digress. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I got one of these earlier and the guy that sold it to me said "It's not a user ya know" when I returned it because it had too much blade play. Well I have two now and I am using one. It takes me back to my first Spydie in 1984, a Worker with a really "wild" hole in its blade and it even opened with one hand.

Last night and today I used this one for tape on gift boxes, excess string on new garments, carved thru those cursed bubblewrapped packages, trimmed plastic flash off toy parts castings that wouldn't join, its pointy blade resized a couple new watch bands and sliced the nabor's fruitcake so everyone could lie about how good it was.

It truly is a "classic" knife that stood above its mundane peers.

I ended up using my FRN Cricket SE and Lum Chinese PE for cutting that darn clamshell packaging and plastic ties, along with the Philips screwdriver on my LM ST200 for some battery installs. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I brought my Mini Dyad, but ended up using my micarta SPOT for almost everything.

My plain ege Delica was used (over and over again) for openingh packages, cuting toys from clamshell and removing strings from dolls...I just wish one of my Spydies haf possessed a pair of "diags" or side cutters; for those EVIL toy wires. Man, I hate those things!

Placidly, Jeff/1911.

Rescue 93mm for many boxes, as well as shaving the imperfections off a poorly manufactured plastic bigwheel (plain edge worked well). PE Vesuvius carried through the rest of the stuff, 'cause it was always on-hand. And a Leatherman Wave for the plastic and wires.

On Christmas Eve, it was my red Salsa. On Christmas morning, my green Chinese. Red and green. Didn't really plan it that way, but now that I look back, even my spydies were in the Christmas spirit.

I gave my Delica a well deserved rest and I picked the Meerkat to take its place - temporary <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>. As for my wife, she put away the Vesuvius and took the smaller Copilot instead.
