Day XXX

Like most other days I used the scissors and nail pick /file to clean up the fingernails  as well as cutting a stray thread from my shoe.   


Nice pic El C and good use of the scissors and nail file! :like: :tu: :tu:

An excellent thread guys, I enjoyed the read through very much.   :cheers:

I know Nix tried to wear it but really the badge being late was entirely my fault and I'm sorry about that.

Also, please direct all thanks towards Whoey for what IMO is a great looking badge.   :tu:   :like:



I have awarded it to the following:

powernoodle
VICMAN
NorCalJim
Fast Bill
Mini
Nix
Greg Jones
El Corkscrew
Barry Rowland

Holler if you've been missed out and we'll look into it.

Great job on the challenge everyone.  Nice to see so many learning the usefulness of the Executive, of which I've cherished for many years.

Powernoodle Bonus Day 31

Thank you Nix for piloting this ship, Vicman and others for your daily encouragement, and Zoidberg for the the glorious badge.


I used the Executive to open an alox Classic and Cadet in Orchid.  This is my second alox Orchid Classic.  The first gets used on a neck lanyard on those days when I am going lite, or otherwise cannot carry a full loadout. The Orchid Classic SD is $28.99 shipped on Amazon.  Not inexpensive, but well worth the years of service it will give you.

I signed up on day one, but not on the list. Of course, I haven't posted any pictures since day one or two, so no hard feelings if I disqualified myself lol.

Congratulations to everyone that completed the challenge! It was fun and eye opening, and I am looking forward to opening my EDC back up to...variety. Not sure what exactly yet, but now I have options again. Not that I ever use much more than my small SAKs anyway.

Finally, a thank you, to Nix, for hosting the challenge. I enjoyed it greatly.

Thanks so much for organizing this CYC2!

I have been carrying the Executive for months and it was fun sharing a focus on this amazing SAK with my fellow challengers--thank you!

I need to get a count on my Executives, especially the ones waiting for reconditioning.  Meanwhile, a tribute to the 4 different colors I have in my collection...

I started the challenge when I received the new executive from Nix, on July 18th. I sooo enjoyed taking part in this challenge and for me it was an experiment. I took all my other SAK's and put them in a bag out in the garage so it was inconvenient to swap on a spur of the moment impulse. I used the executive from the 18th of July to now, and have no plans to replace it as my new EDC.

Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

I just want to thank Nix for hosting this 30 day challenge.

It has been a lot of fun seeing all the pictures and posts and gave me a new respect for the Executive.  It is a very capable edc knife and I will be carrying one regularly from now on.

Hats off to Nix! :hatsoff: :hatsoff:
