Nice tabulations!
You know me... awlways trying to crunch numbers. I looked through all the posts from Day 1 to date, and counted the number of times you awl reported a particular tool as used. - In some cases, you didn't explicitly say which tool you used, so I took my best guess on what you used (or could have used) Eg. the spine of the saw as a Ferro rod striker. - If you mentioned simple food prep, as many of you did, I counted that as the blade. - Some of you mentioned opening packages, and if you didn't say which tool you use, I gave to the one that you used for the same before; or if you showed the packages I chose based on which tool made sense to use (envelope vs box)- some of you showed pictures of projects that you were working on, so I counted similar tasks as 1 use, but distinct tasks as separate uses.- notably, explicit or implicit use of tweezers was mentioned twice. - the saw was mentioned a a few times as "just for fun". I counted each of those "scenarios" as one use. - I only went through the thread once so there are probably a few errors- halfway through I had to stop and open a packet of Gummy Bears (I wonder why ). I used the Champion scissors, because they are on my computer desk. So here it is:Blade - 74Scissors - 60Awl - 35Bottle opener/Large SD - 32Can opener/Small SD - 19Saw - 10
Hey guys. I have to forfeit this challenge, family matters. I'm sorry. Life has gotten hectic and I don't have the time to take photos, post and keep up. It was a fun 18 days though! Good luck to all.
I just got thinking, I believe we have enough participants for a badge, but would need to design one. Anyone up for the task?
Day 20My two favorites...
Day 21The green FX (Victorinoxa x rusticus) makes its home amongst the cactus where it is well camouflaged from predators (Image removed from quote.)
Day 20Scissors opened a package of sausages for the soup i was cooking (Image removed from quote.)Needed tweezers to help peel of the backing of some felt pads. Since the FX does not supply tweezers, the Hiker helped out.(Image removed from quote.)
What an amazing game

Day 20I should have taken pictures of the Fx scissors trimming the new bar tape for the road bike.Obviously, the Farmer X didn't do any of the drawing or computer manipulation for these, but it was around:(Image removed from quote.) (Image removed from quote.) (Image removed from quote.) (Image removed from quote.)The hard part is making something that will scale down without turning into too much of a pixelated mess. It's easier to just have a simplified version for shrinking instead.End: Day 20
DAY 21 :
Nice
Day 20The Farmer X open a special package today(Image removed from quote.)The packaged contained a naked SAK Mod, so the Fx assisted in scale removal from a Tinker. The end result, with the two MTO chips that were also in the package(Image removed from quote.)
