WHAT DID YOU USE YOUR KNIFE FOR TODAY!!!!!!????

[GSPTOPDOG]

I could not find this thread the other day, so I am catching up today. I meant for the pictures for this thread to appear here, but ended up posting them in another thread (related to the looming Chi-Com threat for total world domination). This is a Ganzo knife that looks a lot like a Lion Steel from Italy. I am using it to cut through a plywood roof in a travel trailer to pull down the panel because it has water damage. It was the only tool to do the job at the time. I am hitting the end of it with a hammer to cut/break through the plywood roof attached to the wall. Also using my trusty rope knife to get this job done. Both knives have held up well to a lot of abuse over the years.

It's 33°, wind chill low 20s.
I have the grill fired up for steaks.
The Mac and cheese will have to wait for burgers and dogs.
You got a special recipe?

Not really, just made up 3 boxes (the ones with soft cheese in a pouch) and smoked it for about an hour. I prefer mesquite and it wasn't overpowering as I feared it might be, turned out a treat.

Gathered and trimmed a little river cane this morning to use for assorted crafts

[Steve Warden]

River cane = bamboo?
If so, first I've heard it called river cane.

Edit: ah-ha! And now I know! Google is a wonderful thing.

And that's my reason for keeping a few cheap knives around. My two are an import Kershaw and a Sanremu.

I used my Ganzo knife again today to cut up a number of large thick carboard boxes so they would fit in a dumpster. That ends up being hard on the edge and the Ganzo knife can be worn down to a nub and I can throw it away and not shed a tear. Now my my favorite GEC... I use it but I don't want to wear out the blade any faster than I have to.

Using my PAL Scout knife to punch a new hole in my new belt to keep up my old blue jeans....

We got a little garden cart today, so my Sod Buster Jr. was put to work cutting zip-ties and the blisterpack thing the hardware was in. Thus far it has been a great little workin' knife!

Exactly! I wanted the big one, but the only one I could find locally was the Sodbuster Jr. It is really robust for its small size!

Cut open bag of hose washers:

Pried out old, dry-rotted one from hose nozzle, and scraped away some dirt and remnants of old washer using the awl on the Marble's USGI.

Pressed new one into place with screwdriver.

I accidentally got the garage door opener wet (was cleaning tractor and UTV), and had to pry it open to dry it up. Accidentally jabbed my palm in the process:

More diecast. Still don't understand why the seller shipped three cars, in the same order, to the same person, with the same shipping method in three boxes. At least I use this size Uline box like crazy for diecast storage.

Mine is on the way back from Pennsylvania (it got fitted for a sheath). I'd add the big one to the collection, but can't carry it right now due to a blade length limit.

Spyderco/Emerson, Camillus Rigger's knife and a PST Leatherman USA. Cutting down a tree today for a friend. The lot next door appears to have a homeless camp in it and the people were burning electrical wire to get the insulation of the wire. They are burning it on the other side of the fence under the tree. Not such a good idea as it is very dry here. So the friend wanted the tree down. While taking the tree down I am cutting the ropes tied to the the tarps and the tree and cutting the wires to the wooden frame tied to the tree.

Doing some light brush clean up today and using my trusty old "chopper".

Used my Case seahorse whittler for some more carving.

[doglegg]

Very cool Doug.

Used my Case seahorse whittler for some more carving.

Very cool! I'd like to get into that hobby.

I used my Sod Buster Jr. to shred some paper yesterday. The Skinner blade is a great slicer.

[GSPTOPDOG]

I used my Spyderco the other day to cut a nice fresh tomato.

[Working Edge]

Used my trusty $5.00 Ozark Trail EDC sheath knife to <<<very carefully>>> pry broken glass shards out of the glazing frame of a broken sash window.

Will inspect the knife later for any edge repair work needed, lol....

Carving dynamite today.

[doglegg]

Boom!!! I enjoy your fun stuff Doug. Thank you.

[Dan In MI]

Carving dynamite today.

Maybe I'm wrong, but that looks like it was a fast and easy project. Looks like a lot of fun, too. I might have to get a Seahorse Whittler and some paint!

Yes it is. Took me longer to paint than carve thanks guys.

After the trip to the cemetery today, the wife texted her sister to see if there was any rhubarb ready for cutting. She said "sure is come and get it". Good thing I had a bag in the car and the trusty Buck 482 in my pocket. Looks like some tasty strawberry/rhubarb pie or cake in my future.

My workhorse Sod Buster Jr. (which has acquired the nickname "Junior") was use for mundane but worthwhile tasks: opening a box that contained more knives, and cutting up a piece of old T-shirt to wrap Old Crafty in.
