The How Many Times in a Week Poll

[Dr. Snubnose]

This poll wants to know how many times in the past seven days did you draw a spyderco, open it and use it for something. Once you close the knife and resheath or re-clip that counts as once. Doesn't matter how many things you have cut, or how many chores you did, or how many times you opened and closed your knife playing with it on the toilet. Just Draw Open Use Close and Re-clip or Re-sheath that's a one count.

ill count every time I do it next week
:D

I would say 50-100 if not more times in a day LOL

[MIL-DOT]

Well if we're not counting flicking them open while on the toilet, then I'm going to guess only about 3 times, and one of those was to open up the Stretch that arrived on Monday. :D

[Dr. Snubnose]

I must say between training with and use for utility on an average of 20-25 times a day....Doc :D

I feel like I have way more knives than I do things to cut. In a normal week, I probably cut 10-20 things. Guess that averages out to only one thing cut per knife per week in my EDC rotation. Guess that's why I don't have to sharpen very often. The week before was an exceptionally busy cutting week, as I probably had closer to 50 times of use. But that was because I was using them to cut wrapping paper. I often feel bad having all these knives and not a whole lot to use them for.

edited to add: after counting, 15 of my 21 EDC rotations still have their factory edge, with only 5 hitting the sharpmaker and 1 resharpened by Spyderco (in my pre-Sharpmaker days). How sad.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one spending time on the toilet flicking my favorite Spydie :D

So without counting this bad habit, I use my :spyder: roughly 50 times a week, for REAL use I mean.

I voted for the last option though the real count would be actually much higher than that. That is taking everything in to account, even flicking the knife open when alone :D

I used to bike around to bike stores to customize my bike, kinda like having knives to cut open the next knife box.

[spydutch]

I voted 1-10 because I just reintroduced my Spydies back to my EDC rotation a couple of days back :o

The new Superleaf still has me in a trance :) I might be rehearsing for a Cold Steel video soon

[chuck_roxas45]

Used my knife twice today. The first time was breakfast when I cut a packet of ketchup open in our local Macdonald's. Second time was when I packed some magazines in a box for chroming.

[The Deacon]

Since you only counting folder use, I figure I'd be somewhere between 50-100. If kitchen sharps counted, I'd be off your chart. :p

[On Edge]

I think that choosing he right knife to open the next knife should not be taken lightly … almost like a sacred ritual …

And I'm glad to see that the "repeated flicking open while alone" thing is normal … for me.

:cool:

10-20 Found just the right amount of things that needed cutting

This is what I voted because the numbers were accurate. I fit into other categories also, especially the phobic ones. :) The other one that was most accurtate was the one about carrying two knives that need use. I try to use the two I normally carry. The two knives may change from day to day but I try to use both even if I use the Manix2 for something the Chaparral is more than enough knife for. I don't want anyknife to feel left out. Seriously, they are people too. :D

I didn't count on this poll.

[dj moonbat]

Only 3 cuts per day, and I'm in the "nervous disorder" category? That doesn't seem right. Between mail and various food boxes, it's easy to get to 3 a day.

LOL :)

[OldSarSwmr]

It's funny, having a knife on me and using it is so normal to me that it's hard to count how many times I use it.

[G10KnifeNut]

80-100 lol i might use it more but had to pick this since i actually do cut shoes lol! :D
