My Executive helped me fix dinner last night, cutting a loaf of French bread to make Garlic bread and slicing tomatoes for a salad.

Someone had weighted on a large branch of one the pear trees, until it broke. So been busy trying to eat from that branch the past days.

It turned out the orange tool works great on pears too, who would have thought?!

I took the sharpener to mine today, and once again the smaller Vic blades absolutely amaze me!  I cut open a box for my father in law and it cut it open like hot butter!

Good use of the blade Barry! :cheers:

Nice uses, guys!

Chuck Yeager Challenge, Day 15, is just getting started here, but I think there will be some twine cutting coming up as I replant some shrubs that are currently tied up in burlap.

I was thinking about adding a poll to the challenge now that we are at the half-way point of the challenge. You guys OK with that?

Happy Chuck Yeager Challenge II Day 15!

This may look like a routine package opening but it is a happy occasion since it is from DLT Trading bringing me a special edition Alox SAK...

It's great when multiple occasions combine to honor the same SAK (CYC & Two Layer Tuesday).

I took the opportunity to honor the Executive in my Two Layer Tuesday post:

Happy Two Layer Tuesday!  Today, it's all about the Executive!

The granddaughter is with us for her two week summer visit. She loves going to the range and shooting a .22 rifle. The screw driver tip on the orange peeler is just the right size for the windage adjustment screw on a Williams foolproof peep sight.

The blade has been used for opening snacks for her while out and about. It seems like everything these days in some kind of impenetrable plastic that needs a sharp knife to get through. If all knives were confiscated, people would starve to death!!!

Thank God for little SAK's.
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.
