I'm loving the pics, usage cases and conversation in here! :cheers:

Day 14

Passed by the Geneva Victorinox store so I was riding around the lake with my electric skateboard with little Sigsetter in my pocket. I'm finding it incredibly useful despite the lack of blade. It did just a bit of boring nail maintenance today...



Cool pic Syem! :tu: :tu:

Nice skate board! :cheers:

Used the scissors to cut open some vitamin powder:

Nice Minichamp and PTC Bill!!  Two different animals in so many ways but each has its attributes 😀. I'd love to find a way to have the Minichamp pen on the PTC!  Nice job in sharing the mini toolbox love Lisa! :tu: :like:

Thanks Barry. I'll keep an open mind on the pen but to be honest I usually carry a Fisher bullet it's not a "must have" for me. I do think Vic are missing a trick with the absence of a mini screwdriver though.  :shrug:

Fun to see you already up and at it.
Day 15
I had to decide to take either LW or Chip.  So I decided whichever cut the best.
LW had a difficult time slicing, so Chip will be carried today.

Chip made for a good slicer, seen on the right:

Every time I follow a challenge like this is start asking myself why I don't have any 74mm.. I used to have a sportsman for years and thought that 91mm was way to big.. Now I only use 91mm, I must say I feel the urge to buy a new SAK

Chip packs a mean cut! :o. One thing that no one can argue with the Mini's is the sharpness of their blades.  LW will be back in top form soon :D

Day 15.

Usually when I need a knife blade I reach for a 111mm OHO serrated blade if for no other reason the ease of opening.  For this challenge I'm trying to just use my 65mm. I'm learning most of my needs can be met with the 65mm blade but the OHO sure makes life easier.

Jeep the SAK of the auto world or is it SAK the Jeep of the Knife world?

I totally get that.  I reached for my modded 91mm the other day because I knew it would be easier to find the blade, but then I put it back and opened the letter with the MiniChamp.

Excellent turnout today FoBo, Barry, Vicman Gene & Syem. Really looking good !   :cheers: :like:

A bit of Coke spoon action today prising off the seal on a pack of hydration tabs for my water bottle. I'm not sure about Cherry Cola flavour as these were a freebie. I'll report back on the taste test when I go for a bike ride shortly.

Thanks for your comments on my day 14 and for the interesting reads and pics today :D

Day 15

Went to meet friends to sign an official document (long story)...we all needed a pen so Sigsetter got passed around and everyone signed with him.
Nice view here
