Used a LM P4 to cut some TV cables and open some boxes and a SRM763 to cut up a pork shoulder joint into cubes.

I went to a restaurant to eat a nice steak. Of course I didn't get a knife sharp enough, so I had to use my SAK... :facepalm:

 :rofl: Hope it was clean, my wife hates it when i use any of my blades to cut open food packaging etc  :D although after yet another food hygene course i did last week i can see why  :D

My SAKs see food duty all the time at work.  They get a good cleaning before and after use.  :tu:  Today at the range I used my Pioneer to field-strip my Schmidt-Rubin bolt for cleaning.  A Swiss Army Knife working on a Swiss Army rifle, seemed appropriate.......

I use my SAK all the time for food.  They clean up really easy and work great on any food.

Tool used: Leatherman Wingman
Task: cutting up an inflatable kayak that had been returned
Rating: 7/10 im not a fan of the half serrated blade and the blade doesnt have a cutting edge the whole length, theres a portion at the back which kept catching when i stuck the blade all the way in.

Tool used: wingman
Task: unlocking toilet cubicle door when bolt handle came off
Rating: 10/10

And btw we cut up all products that are returned as defective so scallywags cant return it again after pinching it outta the skip.  :ahhh

I was using my charge's blade to carve a hook out of a tiny dowel to get crap out of my phone's headphone jack.  It worked well but I managed to slip and bury the tip of the blade in the tip of my finger.

Carried a new little combo today:
Stainless Wenger Pocket Tool Chest, Gerber Dime & Preon Revo.

Dime cut tags off a few new kitchen items, zip ties off a drainer unit, and stripped troublesome tape off a couple of tins of boiled sweets. Pocket Tool Chest gouged the foil of a couple of pots of supplements (really suffering with my finger joints lately), clipped the zip ties on a couple of new kitchen utensils, and pried open a split ring, and Preon helped me rummage through some boxes to find my stash of AA batteries.

This little combo is working out quite nicely   :D

But obviously you keep plasters in the back pouch of your sheath for when this happens.  ;) Right?  :pok:  :pok:

I opened the work season for my PS4 by removing one tough metal ring from a wallet chain with the pliers, unscrewing sth on my bike with the pliers again and also used the scissors a couple of times... Works great :woohoo:

I was troubleshooting my leaky dishwasher tonight. 

My charge came out to unscrew the inner panel from the door so I could remove the door seal, and my rebar's medium flathead made short work of scraping lime deposits from the seal and buffers.  I had to order three parts but after that the old girl will work for another ten years!


I also used my Charge's main blade to cut up a six pack ring so the little birdies don't choke when they land in a landfill.  (I always do that)

Used them for soo many things...

Opened a package with the blade of Squirt PS4

Cut the top of an empty milk carton so that I use it as a box (with the blade, the crazy thing is sharp)

Cleaned some tiny pieces of usless fabric leftover during the production of my wallet... used the pliers as tweezers

Used the scissors to cut a few small things

Used the LM MIcra's scissors to cut lots of useless/spare paper that comes with our bills...


Only when you get a keychain LM do you realise how much you've needed one :D

I read about the SAK whittling club on here so I decided on trying to Whittle with my Skeletool CX:



I had to switch between the Skeletool CX and my Victorinox Rucksack to get inside the spoon though.
