What did you use your Spyderco for last?

M390 Delica this time:

[The Meat man]

Used it to convert a soda can into a small dish to soak a clogged spray paint nozzle.

Connor is on a tear lately!! Making everyone else look like a bunch of pocket jewelry sissies!

[Bloke]

Couldn’t find a five gallon drum. :p

Impressive still!

Hey McGrit, cutting through the four crimped layers of 0.010” aluminium at the rim of the can was much harder than I anticipated. I slipped once and thought I may have snapped a bit off the tip but much maligned S30V is pretty tough and the only damage was a micro chip a couple of inches from the tip and only because of lateral pressure. As you can see (newsprint and match) for all practical intents the knife’s still sharp. :)

Connor, you’re a bucket cutting machine! :cool:

Got a Manbug?

[VashHash]

I popped the tab on this cold one with my chief. The tip held up

Ha ha I won't say I haven't thought about trying it with a Manbug. :D
It would be tough but I bet the knife would win. Might have some extra blade play though, with the unlined FRN.

I guess we were the only ones willing to take on the challenge?? :confused: I was looking forward to seeing many more pictures of bisected paint buckets!! Maybe an apple slicing challenge or Amazon package opening challenge would appeal to more folks?? Lol! :D

Honestly though, the whole time I was doing it I felt like a hospital visit was immanent, so perhaps its for the better that no one else attempted this! :)

Steelcity, I guess so. I went ahead and did it again. Only this time, I used the Wolfspyder. It’s in my pocket most of the time, so I wanted to see how it would fare. No edge damage from the bucket(see 2nd pic though). But no where near the same experience as using the PM2. The Wolfspyder didn’t want to go straight through. Wanted to trail either right or left. Also had a tougher time at the corners. I believe the scandi grind played a role in all that. Where as the PM2 went straight down and zipped through the corners. I am definitely wanting to do it more with different models too.

Hey Bloke. I hastily took your earlier joke as a challenge, and went for the handle too. One solid strike with a 2x4 baton. Lesson learned. This is gonna take a while to repair.....

OW!

Yeah, I'm thinking my Rex45 Military will handle it much easier than the Native. I will try it at some point soon. I have some other ideas to up the stakes of this challenge as well. Lol. Sorry about the clip from that handle!! Brutal!!

Terribly sorry to see the damage on your blade McGrit. Hope it hasn’t upset you too much mate.

"No one was injured in the production of this picture. Do not attempt this at home..." oughtta cover it!

Man sorry about that! That's a bummer.

Not at all! You never know if you don’t at least try. Sorted it out last night while my wife watched The Bachelorette. Now it’s a scandi-vex.

Opening a pack of crackers!

You shouldn’t do things like that while the bachelorette’s on. You might do something regrettable to yourself or the TV...

Daily strapping and packaging tape cutting.

Made a stir fry with my Waterway. Chef knife needs sharpened and I decided to use my waterway instead of sharpening it.

Haha! But it’s the reason I have two hours of opportunity while she’s distracted....

Not so fast! .....HAP40 has arrived.....













Honestly, that was a bit easier than expected. I used a rocking motion to get through the thicker areas.




Next time?
