I never would have guessed that Cellidor could be grippier than nylon!

I don’t understand it either, but it definitely is.

Day 2

Like Antti Lammi my Explorer saw more food prep today. I was quite sick today and baked beans, buttered Hawaiian sweet rolls, and oranges seemed to taste good for dinner.

Large blade for the bread and butter. Can opener for the oranges and beans. Scissors opened several popsicles today.

I agree on smaller knives I can came in handy, making up for that shorter handle. But it's lost on really big knives, like the Vosteed RSKAOS for instance.

Great day 2 uses awl.

Day 02
Today I opened more mulch for the yard and rediscovered the shortcomings that usually prevent me from carrying the Explorer.
1 I needed pliers to pull the liner from a lighter to refill it and the Explorer doesn't have pliers.
2 I needed a saw to remove a small branch in the backyard and the Explorer doesn't have a saw.
Therefore, I'm going to have to follow Antti's example and figure out what pliers based tool to pair with it.

That’s awlways the trouble with using the Explorer outside.

Day 2: Opening a package today, using the Explorer’s awl. Not nearly as effective as the awl on my 93mm alox knives, but still got the job done.

Is that a bodhi seed mala wrapped around your wrist?

Any of those would be a good choice but I'm thinking maybe my SOG PowerLock because it's been neglected for a few years now. I can't even remember ever carrying it since the SOG Power challenge in 2016.
