A Story With A Little Serration

#1

Post by MANIXWORLD »

I was using a plastic soap detergent container made of tough hard plastic as a obstacle to do tricks over whilst skateboarding yesterday. Problem was that the wind was quite strong,so weather wasn't playing along,and the plastic container, which was of reasonable size,was simply going to be blown away by the wind.
So next thing that came to mind was,i needed to add weight to the container,but i had to cut the container open because the openinghole was way too small for a nearby rock that i could put in the container to weigh it down.
luckilly my trusty edc Delica4 combo edge ate thru the thick hard plastic of the container with such ease,hence the serration and i could put the rock inside of the container to add the needed weight.
this was a good test to show how tough the D4's are,and that even with a little piece of Spydie serration on a D4combo edge, you can go a long way. thanx for reading...

Just imagine how easy it would have been if he just sliced from the "neck" to the "bottom" down the front or back with only one cut. Then just put the rock in that way. Kind of like one of those oval shaped coin holders that go on your keychain with the slit down the center

That indeed would have worked well, too,but why not be a little creative and cut a round hole to see how sharp and well the knife can cut thru hard plastic?not that i wouldn't already know..

I just cut some industrial hoses at work with my Native SE and really raised some eyebrows. Most of the guys had heard of Spyderco but have not seen them in action, they were duly impressed. :spyder:
learning it the hard way... :rolleyes:
