Day 14. No vent holes on the takeout box? Well, there is the awl on the little red knife in my pocket. I find that if I leave the lid off, food reheats too dry.

Good use of the awl  :tu:

Nice use, I gonna try that sometime too!

Is that the reason why you like the incense burner in the shop?  :D   Hope he/she didn't make too much of a mess...

this was the 1st time in the shop,but Pepe has messed the house a few times.my brother found him as tiny kitten,in the engine bay of his car after stopping to fill gas,and named him Pepe Le Pew since he farted so much.he's taken up residence with us and our 2 cats since my brother moved homes last year.
when i work with Giraffe bone or horn,i like to run the incense burner to mask those horrible odors.
and the smell of machining coolant.

Nice story with the cat!  For the Giraffe bone or horn, was it for knife scale or some kind of art work?  I am slowly warming up to the idea of knife making, but am naturally drawn to all things DIY.

Day 15: Thanks for the well wishes for my son!  This Challenge is really a great time! 
I used the main blade to open a package from Rapid Ray containing a Boy Scout Orienteering Book and BSA compass.  Thanks Ray...I can hardly wait to read the manual and see how I do at orienteering after all these years!

What's everyone's preference as far as usability goes?  The gray frame mag glass or the larger, newer version?  For me, I love the old frame, but like the larger glass.  I think probably the best compromise might be the custom frame that Syph007 makes. :dunno:

Using the Explorer to assist my young  grandson in disassembling some tight fitting Legos, the can opener works great for this task. Also used the main blade to open some food packages for breakfast.

Also, I like the grey/glass magnifier package.

I also find the can opener works well as a light duty pry tool if the space is really tight.

Day 15: Thanks for the well wishes for my son!  This Challenge is really a great time! 
I used the main blade to open a package from Rapid Ray containing a Boy Scout Orienteering Book and BSA compass.  Thanks Ray...I can hardly wait to read the manual and see how I do at orienteering after all these years!
I am pretty sure you will enjoy it as my other copy is just now getting worn!  :cheers:

What's everyone's preference as far as usability goes?  The gray frame mag glass or the larger, newer version?  For me, I love the old frame, but like the larger glass.  I think probably the best compromise might be the custom frame that Syph007 makes. :dunno:
Well I would love to have one by Syph007!
But as far a Victorinox goes - the grey frame then the clear.

Using the Explorer to assist my young  grandson in disassembling some tight fitting Legos, the can opener works great for this task. Also used the main blade to open some food packages for breakfast.

Also, I like the grey/glass magnifier package.
Nice knife and nice RV  :cheers:

Big fan of the bullet pen here! I always carry a black one in my left back pocket (I'm a lefty, or mixed-handed to be precise) and have a chrome one too, I'm keeping that one for fancier occasions or to fit a silver themed carry if I feel like that.

Happy Birthday Spartan.  Wonderful memory Barry.


Fast Bill nice picture.  I carried a bullet or full size space pen around for years.  I still have a couple of the full size, but when my dog was a puppy he managed to chew up the caps on both my bullet pens.  I’m thinking I might need to get a new one because I do really like them.

Thank you Sos. They are great pens, maybe not so as dog chews (try the titanium nitride finish that should be harder gnaw), but I find them really versatile both for work and play. And they're a great distraction in work meetings though I do feel the need to keep them shiny which is a challenge !

Nice story with the cat!  For the Giraffe bone or horn, was it for knife scale or some kind of art work?  I am slowly warming up to the idea of knife making, but am naturally drawn to all things DIY.

Day 15

I didn’t do to much today but I did smoke a tri-tip. Mrs Mike56 made some smoked chicken enchiladas beans and rice. I did use my Explorer to cut the enchiladas and to cut the tri-tip.



I also used my Explorer to help heat some scales mine does not have a hook so I used the awl and a safety pin.

Day 15. Was helping put new vanities in the bathroom (old ones, being mostly particleboard, broke, along with their medicine cabinets); so I had to go full on industrial with what I packed. Given as I'm becoming more and more a minimalist, this is pretty much overkill with this much.  Used both blades for cutting, and the cap lifter to scrape off a scratcher covering the code from a gift card that was given as credit for returned merchandise, since it needed to be used on plumbing components. Also used the mag lens to make sure I got all the rust off my SwissTool's file (back early in the summer, I'd lost it on the porch,mistakenly left it outside overnight during a rainstorm, and the file got rust splotches) when I cleaned it using a file card.

Knipex 125mm Cobras, Duluth Handiman, Explorer, Schrade USA 34OT, SwissTool (mostly as backup), and my old Kobalt Utility Knife (or its secondhand backup that came in a lot; since mine is now showing as much wear from use as was the used one when I got it). And that doesn't count my Bic pen, my Olight i3EOS or Berol pencil.
