Making Lemonade
on:
March 23, 2024, 01:24:47 AM
A couple of weeks back I picked up this Executive for $2.00 at my local flea market. It had some wear, but I didn't own one yet. The one major issue it had was a broken orange peeler blade. I carried it for a couple of days like that before I had an idea,,,, a scraper blade. So with a sharpening stone I began to shape what was left of the peeler blade until I decided it looked good. Well let me tell you,, little did I know how handy this blade would be. At work I use this little scraper for something almost daily. I am beyond pleased with it as an EDC.
Reckon this qualifies for a Mod User Badge?
Thanks for looking!

Seems like a good solution to a broken blade.

Looks great!
I have been tinkering with the idea of taking the tee punch from one of the golfer tools and stuffing it into the Executive; since the Golf tool's folding bits are the same as the 74mm line.

That's a great mod! It looks like it might work as a box cutter or package opener as well.
