I used my Delica 4 pretty hard this week. (He likes that
)
Wooden floor (making cut outs for pipes)
batonning through wood
Scratching of a silicone sealer from a window
Some light prying
Used the back of the knife to scratch of some concrete on a wooden floor
Opening some paint cans, and used the butt end of the D4 to close them
Peeling orange
Made my breakfast today
And of course a lot of cardboard boxes.

Yesterday I cut up the usual things at work with my Tasman/SE(card board, rip ties and polyethylene foil)
I resharpened my chipped Dodo and removed the chips :eek: and put a 40 degree working edge on it(or tried to :o ) Today during my late shift I will cut the same things I did last time(read my "That darn chippy S30V"thread) to see if the edge will hold this time :confused:

On most days I use my Cricket (SS PE) to open mail and packages.
If there are veggies to chop or slice, my wife calls on me for that (Cut stuff up? Yes!! :) )
Friday, we took delivery of a truckload of new chairs at my office; so we all pitched in to make short work of it. The new chairs all came in boxes and were bound with fiber strapping. I slipped my HAK Curvey onto my right hand and had at 'em. The HAK is a very handy little utility knife. It is a great little cutter, and it leaves my hands free for use. It made quick work of strapping, tape, and boxes.
I loaned a friend my Subcom for opening boxes. He found it very useful and observed that the Curvey ruled for the work at hand.

What a shame you catched me with my pants down - nothing for today :o
But yesterday evening I returned home from a short trip and opened a cardboard box containing a Fred Perrin, a Jester black FRN serrated and an old Remote Release plain :)

I cut open parts boxes with my endura wave.
Not today but, recent uses:
I used it to start an old isuzu pickup truck that I hotwired. No I wasn't stealing it, the key cylinder was so worn out it wouldn't turn any more. I didn't have a screwdriver with me. I also cut some heavy duty zip ties off the steering shaft. They were in a confined space and dykes were not an option. I stabbed the knife inbetween the shaft and the zip tie and twisted.
I cut off the vacuum caps on a 13b rotary motor in an rx8. I was installing a kit that stops the oil from looking "frothy". These vacuum caps are right above the exhaust manifold so they get baked on..
I stripped some wire with it too.
I generally do not give a crap about dinging up the edge or scarring the knife. If it gets what I need to be done and gets a little edge damage in the process, I don't care, that's why I have diamond stones and a sharpmaker.

So yesterday I cut:
- 2 apples for the kids while sporting
- some ropes while building a hut with my son
- opened 4 letters and one carton box
- cut of the tie-raps from some locks I bought
- pointed a stick to use as an "arrow" ( kids are playing Lord o.t. Rings outside)
- cut the plastic around a sixpack of PALM beer in the evening

Today I cut a very important rose. Just before the wedding started, the father of the groom lost his boutineer. The wedding party was thrown into disarray. I grabbed a nearby boquet, liberated a red rose with my Mini Persian, and fashioned the good gentleman a replacement with a few sprigs of baby's breath. Problem solved, the wedding proceeded apace. Who says you shouldn't bring a good knife to a wedding? And what better knife to take to a wedding than a beautiful bolstered and micarta'd Spyderco?
