26. Going with the OC Settler, this is going to be challenging. The Settler is a good companion knife, but my dedicated tools will definitely see some use today.
T14 Day 26:There is Bantam on the Jar
Day 25Carried my new Danish green Cadet today, was used to open a special package from Hiraethus...
26/30 always with me
Day 27Danish Cadet again:
If anyone wondered from where this lovely brown micarta came from, here is a hint :
DAY 27Photobucket is down so I can't post any pics. It's been nothing but trouble with that website the whole month. Once the challenge is over, I'm deleting my account with them.
Yeah, that's hard-core going single layer!
DAY 27I'm still trying to post a pic today. Phtobucket is still down. I tried out Flikr and that sucked. I tried posting pics and it doesn't work, and the user interface is pants.
Nice mirror use John! Have you tried it while plucking nose/eyebrow/ear hair too?
Quote from: magentus on October 27, 2016, 01:38:58 PMNice mirror use John! Have you tried it while plucking nose/eyebrow/ear hair too? No, not yet, and the Sentinel Plus has tweezers too! Had thought about shaving with it, but that requires having to switch between looking at the side of the blade and using the edge to shave with. Concluded it would take too long, mostly to stem the flow of blood. If we keep touting all the personal grooming features of these SAKs, some might start to see them as being a bit "girly" (like the hook file). John
Day 23:(Attempting it ALL single layer!)Limited now to discontinued as well for that challenge, the Sentinel Plus has the honors again. This morning I wanted to hook up audio cables from an PC 2.1 external audio system with sub-woofer to the 32" master bedroom TV (much better than the TV's internal speakers). It's at chest level and cannot see behind it to find the TV's line level audio output phono jacks.(Image removed from quote.)Not wanting to run off to go get the mirror I would normally use for this, I improvised with what was immediately at hand, the mirror polished finish on the large spearpoint blade on the Sentinel Plus, along with the Maglite Solitaire I carry on my keyring for some light. One channel connected. Just need to connect the other one and we're done.(Image removed from quote.)Yet another unlisted tool in the SAK arsenal! Need to see behind or under something that's awkward to put eyes on directly? Don't forget about that mirror finish on the SAK's large blade!John

You can do up to four.

You have to think like a multitool, which is half the battle. Smart
Day 27/30Switched to the Wenger. This one takes a nice sharp edge. Turns out it cuts great! (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)I gave the Classic a rest because I'm dreaming of what my first Alox should be. I'm struggling between a Cadet and a Pioneer X. I don't have a 91mm that qualifies for the challenge, so I grabbed the Wenger. The compactness, color options and nail file of the Cadet really appeal to me. But, I'm afraid that due to my large mitts, a 93mm may be more appropriate, and the scissors are a major bonus. An Alox would be carried in addition to a Classic on the keys. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
