YEah. Its scary sometimes what she comes up with. But its kind of my fault too. Once I had shown her a Parkour video (freerunning originated in France) and she wanted to try that too. :o
Maybe it will work for your little one too. :)

Today I tightened up clip & pivot screws on the Stretch and Dragonfly, then oiled them along with the Matriarch. After, I used the Stretch & Dragonfly both to practice my free-handing skills, touching them up on a Sharpmaker Fine stone (removed from base). ;-)

Used my Caly 3.5 carbon/VG-10 to dissect my steak au poivre with port wine balsamic reduction. Tasty. Both the steak and the blade. :)

We had a chance to go harvest a lot of late season corn last weekend, so my Yojimbo 2 (being far far sharping than any of my friend's kitchen knives) got used to break down about 60 ears of corn to prep it for freezing. Very messy work but it cut like crazy.

My wife needed something to trim the roots and some branches of a potted plant. I decided to give the factory edge of my green para a try. Worked fine too. It still begged to be used after that slight bit if use but I couldn't find anything useful to do yet. :D

Chuck, I think that is the first official picture of the Green Para being used in the wild.

Still didn't get to cut a lot. I guess a knife nut's house will always have a shortage of cardboard boxes. :)

Repaired a rotten stair stringer on my deck this weekend and the saw left rough edges so I figured this guy could handle it. I have been more than pleased with how well the blade shape works for all my utility tasks as well as for food prep (on an elevated cutting board). I think my favorite aesthetic feature is the thick heavy blade that easily flips open with all the mass closer to the tip than most. It flips easily or with a solid swack!
