Day 10
The Companion opened a package with new scales.

I had given up on ever receiving these.  They were shipped from the UK in November and just arrived.

Day 11 bonus action shot.   :woohoo:

My favorite ROXON tool, the package opener opening a box of cigars. This tool comes really sharp and seems to hold its edge well. We’ll see how long it lasts. If it dulls, it will be easy to replace!

 :multi: :cheers: :multi:

I reckon you could probably sharpen it with the corner/edge of a stone or any of the triangle-rod type sharpeners. It took some practice, but I've put the edge back on the package opener/gut hook/orange peeler from a Victorinox Executive.

Also jeweller's files work well for that kind of small surface.

Day 11

I like that the driver locks. I don't like that it's not quite centered, and doesn't have a 90 degree stop.

Day 11
Had to run some errands today, so the Companion knife cut some treats for Fisher’s jump n jack.

Later the knife cut some weather stripping and the scissors cut some paracord to pad and wrap a backpack handle.

Day 12

Only a few uses today. I did do a quick swap this morning to a SE blade to cut some hard crusted bread and then back to PE. It is going to be strange after this challenge to use a non-modular tool every now and then. I've been pretty happy with the Flex's modular design and it is up there with my favorite MTs.

Did use the Hook Blade again, and the small screw bits from Roxon to loosen the Plier Bolds a bit as the tools where to difficult to fold out

Oh and its Day 12 (Douze)

Day 12

I really like the ruler/file/driver tool. I wish other companies would go in on them. Vic and Leatherman both make a screwdriver/ruler, and a screwdriver/file, but not both.

Day 12:

When I get the teriyaki chicken at Panda, sometimes I forget to ask them to cut the chicken smaller and I end up with large chunks or sometimes strips of chicken.  Then I have to take matters into my own hands.  Usually a task for my Signal.  Today those duties fell on the Flex Companion D2 blade.  It was up to the task.
