I guess I don't use as much knife as I normally carry.  The small tinker is working so far.  Used it to help unpackage a nerf gun yesterday.

Which one :pok:
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

Day 17

No challenge, only some food preparation...
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

They're dropping like flies!

I have to say, without scissors and a toothpick I'm looking a bit of a mess at the moment. I didn't appreciate how unruly eyebrows and nosehair can get in 17 days!!!!!!

I should have at least chosen my Recruit with it's oh so sweet T&T. Oh well, if wishes were fishes etc.....
:D

SI/Soldier or the Pioneer series are great tools, but they need a companion, because T&T are such useful tools, as you already know now ;) at least a Classic. For that very reason, if the option is only one essential model, I would always choose a Spartan, Sportsman ... Wenger s10 :D

I MISS NOT BEING ABLE TO PICK AND CHOSE EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS!

For me that's the worst part too.  I can deal perfectly fine with nothing but my Executive from a utility perspective, but the picking and choosing is the fun part.

I'm learning that what I miss the most when carrying only the Executive is the standard flat driver/bottle opener.  More than a few times I have had to go find something with which to do light prying on a paint can lid, the plastic nut during a vehicle license plate installation, etc.  I think a better minimalist challenge for me, though not really that much of a challenge, would have been a Compact so I would retain the flat driver.

But I did order a black Wenger Evo 16 to make myself feel better.  I just won't be able to use it for a few more days.

Day 18

I failed again. Wanted to open a early Christmas present and grabbed my nice Böker Knife, suddenly my GF asks me if I'm not on the Challenge anymore, I had completely forgotten :facepalm:

:cheers:
... and useful too :D I really like it, I like its blade, then locking mechanism on such a small knife ... after all it's a SAK :angel: For sure the small-driver and pin are somehow missed, when it comes in play, but a SAKnight must be able to improvise >:D

I use the heck out of the screwdriver/cap lifter on my Pioneer - easily as much or more than the blade itself.
______________________________

Day 18 was a quiet one here, college football games and tinkering around the house. I made a concoction with hotlinks and jumbalaya rice, etc and the Pioneer handled all the food prep with ease, opening packages, slicing/dicing the hotlinks, etc.  :tu:

I was working at the house today, which is one place I can see the possibility of failing this challenge.  However, the Compact got me through the day.  The blade was used to cut a little tar paper and cut the plastic wrap around a couple new windows.  The combo opener tool was used to scrape the stickers off of said windows after installed, and to remove a couple flathead screws on an old storm door latch on the door casing.  A fairly eventful day for the Compact, at least compared to a normal day for me.  Honestly, the primary need I think may cause me to fail is if I need the pliers, which I do sometimes at the house.  Hasn't happened yet though :tu:

Another couple of weeks with this challenge :rant:

I've pretty much given up on using the manager accept for light duty applications

I'm using dedicated tools in most instance...

should have gone with the compact, electrician or small tinker

Did not get into to much this weekend. Did push the Compact a bit Friday evening. Used it to process some kindling for a fire. And used it to make a couple of fuzz sticks.

Day 20, installed new batteries in my son's remote control car, opened up and broke down a box of newborn sized diapers, snipped a few threads on my son's Batman costume, and I think that was about it. The Classic is performing admirably.
