Traveling yesterday and did not post. Used the toothpick for its intended purpose.

Day 5

The Ruby Translucent (Red jelly) pen blade assisted my big fingers to separate the backing from my  MTo sticker for application to my water bottle I found on discount at Sportsman Warehouse.

I have a few early 80s SAKs, and they're my favorites.  Unfortunately, none of them are Spartans  :facepalm:

Used the small blade to open an early morning delivery.
That was fast! Please let us know how it works.

An entire page was added to this thread between my day 4 and day 5 posts...y'awl are doing great, and it's great to have psyjohn join in! :cheers:

Day 5

Yes, I know the cap is a twist-off. But there's no fun in that. And this is an MTo challenge.

"Twist-off," in this instance, means "pry twice." :D

Day 5

I love the Serrated blade on my Spartan. So sharp and can tackle anything. I don't understand why this is not on more variants, personally. Pairs nicely with all my MT's without Serrated blades.

I'm starting to think that a Dual Pro X would be one hell of a great knife to carry...if I could find one.

Farmer, don't you live in MI? And drinking any ginger ale besides Vernors? That's sacrilege!
:rofl: You are correct; I do live in Michigan. Vernor's is a revered beverage hereabouts (there is even a Vernor Highway that runs through Detroit), and though I like it, I try to stick with cane sugar soda. The only place I've seen cane sugar Vernor's was the Cracker Barrel in Roseville. I found the Boylan's in Eastpointe at, of all places, Dollar Tree.

Late post for me today, but used the Spartan to slice up some bell peppers for dinner. Love how slicey Vic blades are, like little razors!  :D

Twist-offs are for kids.
And show-offs who try to impress kids with silly tricks.
Real men (and women) use pocket knives and couter edges to open their drinks!

Powernoodle Day 6


Occasionally, I delay eating by popping one of these instead.  It gives me a super powerful blast of menthol to downregulate my gluttony.

Very nice!   I have not seen many models sporting GREEN scales.

And, my TOURIST, an advertising piece, has no scale tools, or key ring.

Other than that, a very pocket friendly smaller SPARTAN, allows me to always have that corkscrew handy!

If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Looking great again everyone!  The Spartan is such a joy to carry that it's barely noticeable.

Day 6: I love the Vic awl!  Opening things up a bit flow wise in a Dunkin cup.

^. Nice picture!

5 hour drive to return home from north Texas to HOUSTON!!!   A couple weeks ago traveled to an instate soccer tournament from grandson, NE IN to SW IN was 6 hours and by backside was worn out.

I know, things are bigger in Texas, first time I flew into Dallas/FtWorth the staff told me the airport alone had about the same total area as the STATE of Rhode Island.  Had a 35 minute train ride from one terminal to another.
Crazy big.

Glad you arrived home in good order.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

I don’t think the DFW airport is larger than Rhode Island, but I think the DFW metro area is.

I don’t think the DFW airport is larger than Rhode Island, but I think the DFW metro area is.

I just recalled what the TEXAN sitting next to me said!  Had no reason to doubt him, never been to Rhode Island, and from what I saw, that airport was huge…
