Chuck Yeager Challenge, Day 12 :


I picked up a small splinter in my palm yesterday doing a little work in the yard. I couldn't get it out last night, and this morning it was more irritated and swollen. I was able to use the tweezers and small blade to open it up a bit and remove the offending sliver of wood.




Looks worse in the photo than in real life, but I did cry a bit.  :cry:

....now that I think about it, I probably should have wiped the blade off with a little gin or something.  :facepalm:

The orange peeler is fun to use. It's probably an extraneous tool given the small and 'large' blades, but it sort of has it's own niche in the cutting world. Nice job, VICMAN.  :tu:

Chuck Yeager Challenge, Day 12 :

After minor surgery this morning, it was time to make some breakfast. We practically live off these flat breads in the summer, so this is a bit of a repeat shot from earlier in the challenge. It is very likely that yet another shot of opening flat breads will pop up again before the end of the challenge.  :D

Chuck Yeager Challenge, Day 12 :


I picked up a small splinter in my palm yesterday doing a little work in the yard. I couldn't get it out last night, and this morning it was more irritated and swollen. I was able to use the tweezers and small blade to open it up a bit and remove the offending sliver of wood.

(Image removed from quote.)


Looks worse in the photo than in real life, but I did cry a bit.  :cry:

....now that I think about it, I probably should have wiped the blade off with a little gin or something.  :facepalm:

Yeah, John Wayne would've just splashed some whiskey on it.  :D

I've lost count how many splinters I've pulled out with SAK tweezers. Sometimes I had to use a needle/pin to help ease it up to grasping level. I've even had to go up between our Corgi's paw pads to get a thorn out. SAK tweezers are a wonder of compact design that's just big enough.
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

I always keep a set of tweezers with me. SAK or otherwise.    :tu:

If I don't have SAK scissors with me (rare), I usually have some of these 'pin point tweezers' with me. Often both.




They used to sell these little tweezers at military exchanges, but I've seen them on-line, too. The keeper slips easily onto a key chain. I used one as a zipper pull on a FAK once. (All my FAK's have a set of tweezers).

The orange peeler is fun to use. It's probably an extraneous tool given the small and 'large' blades, but it sort of has it's own niche in the cutting world. Nice job, VICMAN.  :tu:

Chuck Yeager Challenge, Day 12 :

After minor surgery this morning, it was time to make some breakfast. We practically live off these flat breads in the summer, so this is a bit of a repeat shot from earlier in the challenge. It is very likely that yet another shot of opening flat breads will pop up again before the end of the challenge.  :D

Nice pic Nix!  :like: :tu: :tu:

Good use of the blade! ( Any time food is involved it is a good use) :cheers:

Happy Chuck Yeager Challenge II Day 12!

My wife orders our vitamins from Swanson and this package came earlier in the week but sat around unopened.  I finally used my trusty Executive to open this latest vitamin supplement order...

Thoughts on the executive so far.

I've been carrying this little pocket knife since the 18th of July, when Nix so very generously gifted it to me. I have been stateless by it. This is the first time since I was kid with my very first pocket that I have carried only that one knife. I've always been a die hard obsessed knife nut, and in addition to the SAK of the day, I usually had a stockman, Barlow, or sodbuster, or what ever other knife of the month had caught my fancy. Even after I had got rid of all my other knives but SAK's, I still had a duo that I would carry, like the ever present classic on the keying plus my old war horse Wenger SI. Or a recruit, or tinker.

Now, for the first time since I was 12 years old, and except for vacations where I had to fly commercial someplace, I've been carrying just one knife. That little executive. I've cut with it, filed with it, screwed with it both flat and Phillips. It's sliced an occasion snack off something in the fridge, which because of the shortchanged blade my old classic couldn't do.

In the 26 days I've been carrying the executive, I have not felt under equipped nor have a been caught short by lack of an adequate tool. It's zipped open my mail with ease, felt with a few small Phillips screws, trimmed a few stray beard hairs. But most of all, it's proven itself to be a very VERY capable ev very day pocket knife to deal with the stuff people used a small pocket for before the EDC craze hit and everyone became obsessed with carrying enough weapons and tools to either fight off invading storm tropes or build the Bridge On The River Kwai.

This is proving that maybe General Yeager is one very smart cookie!

I agree with you, Carl.

This Executive has been my sole carry for the past 13 days now (I got started a day early  :D.). It has done everything I've needed a pocket knife to do, and maybe a bit more. The tool set and the size make it an eminently practical pocket knife, in my opinion.

Is it the perfect knife for every task? Of course not, but for EDC purposes, I find it hard to beat.

And as a backpacking knife, I think this is a far better choice than the Classic. I know the Classic has plenty of fans in "Ultra Light" backpacking circles, but this gem makes more sense. The other choice I'd consider would be the slimmer Ambassador (T&T, 74mm blade, 74mm scissors, and nail tool). Only slightly less versatile than the Executive, but a bit thinner & lighter.

Chuck Yeager Challenge, Day 12 (continued):

More yard work today (and for a few days to come).

The Executive got pressed into service opening packages of burlap (to tie around the root balls of shrubs), clip twine, and open mulch.




Looks a little out of place, but it got the job done.  :tu:




When it came to cutting the burlap into usable sections, the short blade did work...with some patience. I was cutting 4-5 'threads' at a time, and then moving on to the next small section. It was going to take me all day to do it that way, so I switched to a big pair of shears and got the sections cut up in no time.

Still, proof of concept was there and the edge held up nicely.




After a little stropping, the edge was back to shaving sharp.

Day 12

Cut some paracord (probably fake, from AliExpress) with the blade. I tried first with scissor but it failed, probably because need to be sharpened.
