some kind of pronged cutter

This is actually the can opener.

The tool that more closely resembles the modern Vic opener is a cap lifter/screw driver.  Maybe also intended for stripping wire if it has a sharp edge.

Other than that, I’m afraid I’m not much help.

After what went on over there, you deserve a break. And I like that Citizen.

Great photos and uses, y'awl!

Cheers Dan (it's my work watch)

It's way cool how you get so much personality out in these little birds.

I really like about whittling how, with some trial and error, perseverance and applied creativity, you can, by taking away small chips of a humble branch, bit by bit, create something beautiful, funny or useful.

Thanks Dane! I need to work out a good way to seal and paint them, I have some that I have taken all the bark off to see how they look. Trying to leave the bark on to simulate wings doesn't really match the right shape.
I'm also trying to distill it down to some simpler cuts first, then just some rounding to tidy up

"Jakassspeech1." Is that the name the user chose, or one assigned by the mods? Either way, the shoe fits.

General Tool Discussion / Re: Dice Poker Challenge - Ironing out concept, rules, etc

« Last post by Farmer X on Today at 12:27:23 AM »

This idea could be easily modified into a Yahtzee challenge. Doing so would add "small straight" and "large straight" and eliminate two possible busts. It could even be modified so that dice are rolled on days 0, 10, and 20 and the winner is whomever has the highest score per Yahtzee rules. There is quite a lot of potential with a dice-basdd challenge!

Whether I'm in or not remains to be seen. My life is currently in sort of a state of flux.

Hello, I'm having no success identifying a Wengerinox knife.  Using the Wenger tang stamp chart I see that it was made between 1940 and 1952.  However, it doesn't match anything on the SAKWiki.  My knife also has "Abercrombie & Fitch Co" printed on the main blade.  Looking for any help with this.  Here are the specifications:
- 93 mm length
- 2 layer
- Black crossbow Suisse logo
- "Wenger Delemont Swiss made" on the main blade tang
-  Wengerinox crossbow logo on reverse
- Has main blade, small blade, awl, Phillips head screwdriver, can opener, and some kind of pronged cutter
