Day 26
The vent hole in the lid for my insulated mug was too small, making it hard to drink from the mug because it would dribble, and it whistled when I drank. So, I used the sharp edged awl on the backside of the Champion to bore out the hole. Better air flow means no more dribbling and no more whistling.

Day 26
It seems my usage today was the same of some of the previous days.  So instead of showing some more dog treats or cutting a paper label, I figured a glamour shot would do.

Day 27

Wenger 1964 Soldier with red grilon scale, I remembered Wenger started using the grilon material for scales from early 1950s for almost two decades, and grilon should be similar to the FRN handle used by Spyderco nowadays.  I've read that one way to tell whether it was grilon was the disappearance of the rivets, but not sure it's 100% accurate.

Getting ready to run out the door and off to Disney on some chores!


I kinda wonder whether you could bring a SAK into the theme park, or this will be left in the car? :pok:

More lovely knives, particularly the Golfer! Comis, sadly those Vic lanyards are not luminous - now there’s a good idea!

Day 25

Time for a snack with Soldier ‘84 on crisp packet opening duties:



Good use!  And thank you for the reply, I agree it would be spectacular if it does, but it is already a sharp looking lanyard as it is!

Then in a way that glamour shot was a bonus, because path where this picture was taken is where I walk my dog most days.

But to kick off Day 27, I’ll give you a use shot that I think you became pretty use to seeing from me.

The combo tool of my Yeoman opening a beer.


This is my first time having this beer, but I’ve had Dead Guy several times before.
