An apple a day keeps the doctor away. But the question is who's going to cut that daily apple? My Persian! That's who ;-)

Yesterday I used my G10 Byrd Robin to remove the wrapping of a 6 pack of carbonated water bottles :)

This morning I cut the paper seal of a new poach of tobacco(tearing is easier, but this is more fun :p ) with my SS Kiwi slip it.

Used my GB to trim some Polyethylene hoses, cut some foam to use as sponges, and yes, some masking tape.

It felt just as strong as any other knife. I believe the thinner blade on a small knife makes it cut easier just like any knife. I wasn't using any side to side force so the thinness wasn't an issue. I was very happy with how the Jester handled. I also had a Sage1 on me but used the Jester as a sort of test for the knife. Keep in mind that the plastic I was cutting isn't real hard but it's not the easiest thing to cut especially with a wider blade. I would have had problems with the Sage1 becaue it is much thicker at the edge than the Jester or any hollow grind blade. So, I think the Jester was up to the task (and more). It is one knife that I'm glad I have even though the price for a little knife seems high at first. Sometimes a small tool is the right tool for the job.

I was clearing out at a house today after a tenant had moved out. Just before I left home I thought that I'd probably need some teeth. Out came a Tasman Salt from my back-up drawer to my back up EDC drawer. I keep a serrated Tasman Salt in my dive gear tool box, it occasionally gets used as a back-up dive knife, to cut cave line and that sort of thing. My second one lives in a drawer and doesn't really ever get used ... well today that changed.

Cut nylon ski rope that was suspending junk in the garage rafters, zip ties, bits of pvc pipe, redundant washing line and used it to cut / peel old silicone out of joints before re-siliconing.

Got home and there was a brown box waiting for me from KW ... hacked that to pieces with my new favorite Tasman to find, amongst other things, a ZDP ladybug for my keyring. All through the day my SAK and a 3.5 inch blade with a butterfly on it stayed in my pockets (sorry, the screwdriver on the SAK opened a tin of paint).

Methinks my serrated C78 Native just may have been bumped off the EDC rotation in favour of the TS. I had forgotten how useful the hawkbill is!

Used my new Dodo to open a bunch of boxes of folders and other paper products delivered today. Though a co-worker thought it looked scary, but she also said she hoped I had it on me if someone unsavory came into the office...you cant win!

I used my Gayle Bradley to cut up cardboard, and open a few packages, pick dirt from under my nails, as well as scrape dried super glue off my palms. It worked flawlessly!

Used my Dragonfly2 (Lightweight ZDP) to remove a half inch splinter from my finger. Worked great ... though when I told my daughter about it .... she thought I was crazy. I see nothing crazy in this!

Due to work and other stuff, I did not post here in a while.

On Friday 30 March, I used my Para2 to break ice cubes that had got stuck together for fruit drinks at my daughters school fare. Saw a few other parents staring at me but did it anyway. Felt good to use the blade in public.
