Hmm.? The tip of my awl is so sharp I once cut myself on it. I could easily use it as a pen blade. Maybe sharp is the anomaly and dull is the norm, or maybe the dull tips have simply been used more and have worn down.
Day 10I used the Spirit's scissors to cut open some crab legs for supper.
@Barry - No my Spirit has not been my EDC till this challenge. I did complete a 30 day Spirit Challenge with the Butterblade , and then acquired a Spear point PE iirc early 2022, when I learned they may fade away. Today that one is yet NEW!My EDC has been usually my REBAR, a Bond in waist back and ST300 part of tool kit. So adjusting to the Spirit and outside accessible implement has been a challenge as I continually am opening the handle
Day 17Grog delivery (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
Day 16After errands and appointments the Spirit help cut my steak for dinner(Image removed from quote.)
Is there anyone present that actually does EDC a Spirit?
Day 16Removed this pencil sharpener. I have a nice electric one, but I'll keep this around as a backup.
I remember that Comis.... looks great! I'm surprised Vic hasn't thought of that too. Day 17: Used the small screwdriver to tighten some screws on my screen door.
~I find the combo more versatile and lighter than a MT, even Spirit is probably one of the lightest weight of mid size MT there is.
I was curious about your last comment. I thought the Spirit felt heavier in my hand. So dug out the food scale my wife acquired many moons ago🙄 and never used, replaced the battery and zero’d the scale. Never used 😉 I found it was still locked mode💕The Vic Spirit X w/Butterblade = 211 gramsThe Rebar stainless = 189 grams [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] The Spirit is prettier, the Rebar looks classy😉Day 17 Will post a use picture if there is action later, but thought best to insert my required daily while I remembered😜
LC, thanks for doing this. I remembered weighing it against Charge and/or Wave, but I'm sure there are probably even lighter mid size tool such as Skeletool that I've missed too. ~
A three peat quote, WOW! It was not that newsh worthy🙄usedActually, I do not remember exactly, possible it was with my in the hallowed threads on this forum. I recalled, being absent from here for a while, some discussions, that rewoke my need for steel🙄I had the Spirit X w/BBl, used for the Spirit 30 day. Was on the Spear point option and had trouble locating. Kept finding the newer One handed options. Then visited my trusty Cutlery Shoppe and the Spirit X Spear point was on closeout for under $100, so I jumped on it. My deduction from those experiences may have led to my suspected conclusion. So much change! Also, my lack of knowledge of the Vic made MT models. Also, the new MX styled tools. So not one thread or posting, but a bunch of observations and new models from a pretty stable manufacturer. Still happy I acquired the PE to compliment my Butterblade. And from what I see prices at today a bargain😉
I wonder how long will it take before a pencil sharpener become a museum piece? I grow up using pen and pencil to write and a typewriter or word processor (anyone remembered that?) was a luxury I only discovered later on in life.Nowadays, except for tax or form filling, I probably could get by without using any writing instruments for days, even weeks, if not for the little ones. Crazy if you asked me when I was a boy.
Unless doing a Challenge I always have a BO Spirit in my belt sheath or an OG butter blade Spirit with the pocket clip in umm… my pocket.
