I thought this was pretty funny. Today two kids ran towards me saying "Sir, sir! Can you help us? We put a bumper sticker on this ground spot light and now it is smoking like crazy" at first I was laughing and then I thought that I didn't have anything to remove it other than a knife, but I don't like pulling a knife in public especially not in front of kids. But then I figured; I got my dcf knife with prying tool exactly for this. Needless to say it made short work of the bumper sticker.
Been wondering about that cigar cutter. I've been eyeing it for a while but I wasn't sure how well it would work.
And these were used to build everything back together to my new house(Image removed from quote.)Not today, not even on a single day, but I consider it one project

I've been eyeing it for a while but I wasn't sure how well it would work.I have a Xikar cutter and several of the usual guillotine ones so I never saw the need to use the Wenger. The scissors always felt that they had a bit of play in them so I was worried that the cut will be bad. I may have used them once before, ages ago.Well, I was surprised yesterday. Sliced both cigars, a corona and a large torpedo very easily and cleanly; no shredding. I also have the Victorinox one, but I have never used it as I like a cut rather than punch for my cigars and I also like the torpedoes that cannot be punched. The victorinox is, however, slimmer. A sharp thin slipjoint blade also works well in an emergency.
