:ahhh  I can only find one in my collection, I've gifted the others (which I don't regret one bit).
It's my mammoth one.  I apologize Nix, I can't do it.  I can't carry this one, it's part of my "admire" collection.
I don't mind sitting on the sideline and watching you all enjoy this challenge, seems like it will be great!  I know you'll all have a great time,  :tu: I'll be supporting you all from afar!


Beautiful Executive FB! :like: :tu: :tu:

We will miss having you participate,  :(,but I would not want to carry that one either.....it is definitely too nice! :cheers:

Good luck with the challenge everyone.  I'll be intensely watching, as the Executive has been my EDC for decades and is my favorite SAK.

Congratulations to the new owners of the Executive.  I think you'll be pleasantly surprised on its capabilities.

Day 1

Of course I had to use the Orange peeler, I'm pretty sure a pocket knife has peeled every Orange I've eaten since I was ten, so I'm hoping to do more tasks with this tool

You guys are the worse! Because of you, I started the week leaving my Midnite Manager home and carrying the Executive instead. the little guy must be wandering what he did wrong for me to abandon him...

 :facepalm:

Not really sure if I'm doing the full month challenge. Right now, awl I can say is I'm not sorry about the cange.

Only thing I don't really like on the Executive is having the keyring where the main blade opens. Maybe it's because it would be even worse for the small blade?...

Awlready used it to make a butter sandwich for breakfast. It's a little difficult to spread butter with the thin blade, but I'll probably get the hang of it, like the executioner said...

I don't quite understand why the blade on this and the Classic (and now the Executive 81) open toward the keyring. Doesn't make sense to me. But, I've gotten used to it, and usually carry my knives loose in pocket. Makes it easier.

Thanks, nascar! :tu:

In the few weeks since Nix sent me the executive, it's been in my watch/coin pocket and in use everyday. I already have been very impressed with this little pocket knife, and I don't think I've become so fond of a knife since I fell in love with the Case peanut that I carried for years. It's just a tiny tad bigger than the peanut, but it has much more mission capability from the little flat head on the orange peeler, to the spear shaped tip of the nail file that makes a decent Phillips driver. This may even replace my beloved classic! For me, that's radical.  :o
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

I'm going to get a paracord lanyard for it. It will make for a thicker grip (lanyard + handle). Maybe it's more confortable like this.

This morning, I reached for this new bottle but found that the seal was resistant to removal by hand. Executive to the rescue!
