I read that beginning part too fast and thought it said “I cut off a kids foot”JayHenMac wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 5:00 pmI just cut a kid's shoe off of his foot. My son and his friend were riding bikes when the kid's shoelaces got caught in the bike pedal. Each turn of the pedal tightened the laces. Happened too quickly to stop the situation before it was too late. The laces were so tangled and tight that the only option was to cut. I felt bad for the kid, you could tell it hurt and the ankle was already starting to swell because the circulation to the foot was getting cut off. The trusty SE Endela cut like a hot razor through soft butter, and the slight dip in the tip made the close work less stressful.

Best part is I threw the knife in the sink to wash later

Sometimes we don't appreciate the finer design details until we find ourselves in a situation to appreciate them - as in the dropped tip above. Makes it all the more sweet once we do figure it out.

2 day old Shaman used it to open a can. Black S30V steel so aluminum transfer on sides of blades and edge had chips in it. Took it to get sharpened this morning and hit a 51 on the Bess Test.

My little brother moved the past weekend.
Feel free to guess, how many had a knife in the pocket.
Yes, out of five people, I was the only one.

This is another reason I keep a beater (or 3) in the truck... for a loaner for someone who might hurt themselves or my knife if I hand it to them.

Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?
Good idea, but he already got bike parts. I know, those aren't helpful in the household but I just can't help me, I just really like bikes, even more than knives, I have to admit.

Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?
My SE UKPK LC200N has been used by the others. The Manix 2 in CPM15V was just for me. And there still were people, that have been surprised, that a serrated knife can be sharp.SpyderJunky wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 10:50 pmThis is another reason I keep a beater (or 3) in the truck... for a loaner for someone who might hurt themselves or my knife if I hand it to them.
Re: What did you use your Spyderco for last?
My wife's center console door got stuck. I suspected something fell down into the pocket the sliding door goes into. Turns out I was right, but to access it and remove it, I had to first get out the little shelf sitting over the larger storage area.
Looks like this.
I could not get the drawer out, but I did have my K390 SE Endela. I would have never thought to do this with a plain edge, but I was able to barely fit the knife in the tight space. I have heard of people cutting through a 5 gallon bucket with serrated edge and figured this plastic was similar in material and thickness. I used it to saw through the hard plastic with the serrated edge. Enough to sneak the drawer out in a couple of pieces. Edge was fine afterwords.

May your feet be warm and dry and your throat warm with whiskey. A knife in hand or in the sock band.

Where did you find the Micarta scales for the Endela?
Makes me want to dress up my Police 4...
