The serrated blade is the boss in a 91mm package.

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

Hope yours is as good!

Powernoodle Day 24


I'm beginning to realize that this may be a Food Challenge with some Spartans on the side.

Reminder about Farmer X's Glorious Mini-Challenge Tomorrow:

And I am putting forth a mini-challenge for Day 25: since winter is creeping up on most of us (I think Yanossauro's winter might be on the verge of winter ending), show your Spartan with some cold-weather gear. This can be a jacket, winter gloves, a snow shovel...anything you primarily use during the winter months.

Day 24

One of my most used implements. Amazing how this can fit slotted, Phillips, some size hex and torx fasteners. So useful to me! Only disadvantage are really tight or recessed screws.

Have you ever seen a snake's foot?
Snakes don't have feet. That's why!

Maybe I missed it, but why the term "Snake's foot"?
Best wishes.  Gary

I've used the SwissQlip on SAKs up to 4 layers without trouble. For my money, it is the best way to carry a SAK, besides a sheath. When you get to thicker SAKs, with more than 5 layers, the knife tends to try to twist in the pocket, and I suspect something would eventually be damaged.
The SwissQlip is a deep carry clip, as long as your pocket's edge is not very  thick, and has a great retention, no matter what.
Its only drawback is that it doesn't work with all eras of SAKs, only the latest version of the 91mm., where the keyring nub is drop-shaped.

Please tell us how you like that pocket clip.  I have eyed it a few times, thinking it would be practical on a three layer or four, maybe even a five?
Yet many review on the River site were maybe biased!

Actually that's the cheapest xing-ling version of the Keysmart I could find.
I wanted to try something without sharp edges that presumably would not poke holes in my trousers' pockets, and wasn't very sure I would like it.
Two-year-long story short, the cheap key holder made me buy some washers to keep everything tight, but was (and still is) the best solution for my problem.

Is that a Keysmart? I've thought about getting such a thing.

It tastes like turpentine, so it probably dissolves some paint in a guy's stomach.
BTW, if a guy has lost more than a few cows (and a horse) to some paint-smelling fruit, he will start to hate them.

Now, what health benefits does mango have? :think:

Winter is (unfortunatelly) gone. Time to put the rain poncho and mud boots back in the backroom closet.

I could go for a mandarin right now! :drool: And I never thought of mangoes as tasing like turpentine...

Day 24

I found a loose dresser drawer pull. All in a day's work for the Spartan.

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

These drawer pulls are the type that only need one screw. So the Spartan was used to hold the screw, and I simply cranked on the pull.
