Ha, me too. Wasn’t my Autonomy but the trusty PM2.

I swear that's 90% of my knives daily duties Red!

I built up the heels of my hiking shoes using Shoe Goo. If you’ve ever used Shoe Goo you know how tough it is when it cures. It’s flexible, but much harder than the rubber on the sole itself. In order to sculpt the lugs on the soles back to their original shape I needed a blade that’s thin, sharp and slicey. That’s where the Chaparral and XHP came in. The Chaparral blade will either press through the Shoe Goo to trim it, or pull cuts will work, too.

I love Keens but I tear up those soles quick. Other tread patterns last a lot longer; I just walk through them

Dinner prep tonight and I have been wanting to see how slicey my new Bow River feel. Must say I am very pleased with how it feels on the cutting board. I may need a small edc sized PW custom in the future.

We found a bad CAT5 cable at work so we cut it up into little pieces with my K390 Ladybug so no one dumpster dives on it and uses it again.

The edge on the Ladybug is still shaving sharp with no nicks in it.

The Swayback is my daily okra plucker, among
other things. This is my favorite garden knife.

I used my Tenacious to practice adding a sharpening choil. It is functional but came out kind of ugly. Then I used it to practice free hand sharpening.

First off, I used my Hanan to poke a hole in my left index finger. Luckily it’s not in an area that sees a lot of use, or bends a lot; merely a flesh wound.

Then I used my K390 Delica to cut up stuff for a salad. Really liking that K390.

I used my Native 5 to cut a sprig of rosemary for some beef stew

Thank you much! Hope your weekend is going well.

Fidgeting a Pacific Salt while watching "Dark".

Yesterday, I used my old Pacific Salt SE to open a bag of veggie straws.

Kinda like shooting a squirrel with a cannonball. :D

Dug out some popped drywall screws so I could screw down, patch, and sand before repainting.

After an excellent mountainbike ride on a warm summer's day, what better way to rehydrate than a tall glass of lemon-ginger water while relaxing on the patio? A couple slices of lemon and some ginger shavings in the bottom of a glass, add ice, top with water. Besides being refreshing and delicious, it reduces inflammation and is helpful in fighting some viruses. They tell me viruses are a concern nowadays.

I used my Delica K390 to cut up an apple, stuff for a salad, and to slice up a steak I grilled for dinner.

I’m new and still waiting for all my orders to arrive but hubby got to use his last night! He was visiting his mom and discovered that her tv’s audio wasn’t working. Since everything was closed he found a work around but didn’t have his tools. He texted me and said his new PM2 I bought him saved the night! He really likes his knife!
