What did you use your Spyderco for last?

[PeaceInOurTime]

Gave my throwers new high-viz- "find-me" tape.
Used the Manix to scrape of the old tape and gunk off the blades and cut the new tape in shape.

Sharp Rex 45 blade scraping on metal: No prob. Really good stuff.

Just thinking about this makes me shudder and cringe a bit, but glad it works fine

I don't have pics handy, but my PM2 cut two cigars tonight....and many times in the past!

You mean just the sound it makes or doing this to a REX 45 (or any steel) blade generally?

For me there is a fine line between "right tool for the right job" and "purpose of a general EDC knife".

If I´d always reach for the "perfect tool" for the job (which is often not at hand!) I would actually use whatever Spyderco is in my pocket at lot less often.
If, on the other hand, I´d use the Spydie in my pocket recklessly for any task that might come along (prying...) I would be a bit crazy...

Scraping gunk and old tape from a throwing knifes metal blade is perhaps a bit borderline - but for me still in the "general EDC knife task" area..

And as said: Actually no problem at all for the REX 45 Manix

Last use? You mean when was the last time I pulled them out of my sock drawer?




I'm sorry it's a slow morning

Haha yeah, just the thought of scraping metal with a nice sharp edge. Not judging! I'm sure it works and ends well when done correctly.

if you hold the blade in a rather flat angle: Scraping stuff with hard REX 45 off the really (purposely!) soft metal of a throwing knife (and only on the flat of that throwing knife blade) does really not hurt my Manix, but just works great for that!

Scrape paint and expoxy off metal pipes, fishing hooks, etc with my K390 ladybug all the time. Part of its job description....an almost ideal tool for the job.

I got a new dresser so had to move all mine from one sock drawer to another. They appreciated the change of scenery!

My ClipiTool Standard got a workout last night! Sliced some cheese for crackers, opened a few bottle of brew!

[Pokey]

I de-boned a rotisserie chicken with my K390 Stretch 2. Washed it off real well then used it to cut an onion, avocado, and a tomato for a salad.

yojumbo dlc tactically separated some dish scrubbies :D



These will dull an edge pretty fast in my experience.

Scraped polyurethane glue off of my hands and fingers with the Millie...

Cutting packages, air hose, zip ties, and other misc. stuff with my Manix 2 LW in Maxamet.

^Including this package that came in the mail today. 1808 Capped Bust half dollar.

That's a cool piece of history right there Connor. Not something you see everyday! I remember thinking a few wheat pennies I had from the early 1900's was something cool and old! I appreciate things like this, makes me think of how much simpler, yet much more difficult life was for people carrying that coin back then.

Yeah, it's a tangible link to the past...one reason I find old coins/artifacts so fascinating. In 1808, Thomas Jefferson was president, and the US was only 20-30 years old. It's fun to imagine the people who might have handled and used that very coin so many years ago, at the dawn of a new era in world history.

Speaking of wheat pennies, you might say I've got an inordinate fondness for them, too, lol...If you look in the background of both pictures you can see a glass jar partially full of them, and I've got some more coming in the mail.

Just opened up two bales of hay with my UKPK. Each bale is wrapped with 3 lengths of thick nylon strands, which have to be strong enough to hold about 100 pounds of hay in place. That shouldn't be a challenge for any good pocket knife, but I've had a few blades roll or even chip after opening just one bale. So it's a fairly good test for my knives, which I probably use more often and for slightly heavier chores than most do.

yojumbo helped me re-stuff my punching bag. everything had settled to the bottom, so throwing hooks towards the top feels much better now.

Nice end grain cutting block/board. I purposely use a lesser quality board/block for aggressively toothy knives.

Used the K390 Endela to slice cucumbers for my lunch. Did a fine job! I honestly think I could toss all my other knives and get by easily with just the Endela. But that'll never happen.

It’s always nice when you find THE knife. I’ve been wanting to try an Endela. K390 is some awesome stuff. Probably my favorite steel right now. Definitely in my top 3. Enjoy that knife!
