CYC2: Return of the Executive

[VICMAN]

Day 7

Used the tip of orange peeler to open a bottle of mint syrup. I had some difficult , I remembered that opening beer war easier. Maybe this kind of bottle use an harder metal. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com

Nice pic Mini!

Good use of the orange peeler!

Tame day here!  Opened a bag of much needed dog food for my guys!  Otherwise, just a day in the Sun 🌞

Nice pic Barry!

Good use of the Executive!

Day 07 (continued):

I used Mini's can opening trick to save a finger nail this afternoon when fixing Mrs Nix a beverage.

Great pics everyone 

Nix, I checked out Murchies  I'll keep it in mind 

[Barry Rowland]

2 days in a row of sunshine buddy!  I'd gladly send you some

I'm loving carrying this knife again!  The only thing that's come up has been the need of a can opener and bottle opener a couple times during the challenge.  The funny thing about it is, when I'm packing one of my other SAK's, I rarely need either.  When I don't have one on me, I need one!  Still, the convenience of this little toolbox sure makes up for the lack of a couple tools.

Barry, hunt down a real P-38 and put it in your wallet. They fold down so flat yet like the 58 and 74mm SAK's, they give sooooo much in utility. They can do emergency duty as flat or Phillips screw drivers, pry up the flange of a crown cap to open a bottle, and even open a can if need be. I carried my little classic for year with a P-38 in my wallet and had alll the bases covered. For real screw driving, a Victorinox 4 way tool from the Swiss card will deal with it. That little Victorinox quarto can be carried with the P-38 in the wallet or on the keyring. They are like extended magazines for pistols, add incredible value for very little.

As we complete the first seven days of the Chuck Yeager Challenge II, I thought it would be fun to share photos of four still unused Executives representing four different colors:

Executive - Blue by NorCal Jim, on Flickr

Executive - White with Red Lanyard by NorCal Jim, on Flickr

Looking good, NorCal Jim. I like the white scales more than I thought I would.

Day 7, and I haven't used anything other than the toothpick since day 3 or 4. I sharpened the main blade a bit, too.

[cbl51]

Not much use today, with just a box opening. UPS dropped off a large box that was the tether ball set up we order for the granddaughter that is staying for a few weeks. The small. blade cut the nylon steps of the box like they were were paper. Just slide the blade under and twisted upright and sliced.

These little SAK blades do slice well!

Orange peeler is useful to save the blade, it can do some work.

Day 8

My fingers need mechanical assistance to lift these things, the Orange peeler might have been more appropriate

You chose well. The orange peeler might have cut the plastic. The nail file is safer for that task.

Great collection of Executives Jim!

Nice group there, NorCalJim! The white one is quite uncommon, maybe that's why it looks so darn good in this knife.

Great use of the file!

Day 08 opened a pack of scourers with the orange peeler. Didn't seen the best tool for that TBH.

Had a pleasant morning cleaning up a couple of RAF Hunters I picked up yesterday and making a few plastic bottle wasp traps for a friend.

Day 07. Nothing much to do today. Picked up a magnum of Prosecco for a work colleagues birthday. Spent a bit of time in waiting rooms and started reading The Little Prince. Interesting chap St Exupery

did St.Exupéry, like Yeager, carry a SAK on his flights?

Day 8
Waiting for the heatwave from Spain to arrive but today seems manageable so I enjoy outside with Freja,  my dog. Opened some letters today ,  sigh. . more bills. But I decide today is a good day mine the less.

 . Will do Carl and thanks!
I never thought about it, but that P38 is a multi tool in itself!
