Still trying to figure out the orange peeler... Serrations are dull, maybe I will create new ones when possible. Nice to open boxes by force, no very good for smaller plastic containers. Small blade to the rescue, but one must be careful when using to much force. Scissors being smaller than 91mm are still very good!

Use the inside pointy end of the peeler to punch the first hole in a clamshell package. After that, use the serrations part to cut the rest open.

It's awlso a nice small scrapper.

Really?
I use the back-hook edge to run it around the clamshell, just like cutting into an orange...

I agree with the scrapper function. But when I give it nice serrations it will be much more efective.
Nice tip

Yes sir eBay. I’ve been wanting one of these for so long and oh boy has it lived up to my expectations! I’m now understanding why it’s a favorite of so many.

Found another use for the enigmatic orange peeler:

I broke my leg last week and had it repaired surgically. Can't get the splint wet, so it's the ol' garbage bag and tape routine before it get in the tub. Well the orange peeler worked splendidy as a saftey-blade to slip between the tape and my skin when it was time to cut the bags off. Felt safer than using the scissors even, with their pointy tips and all.

The Executive was already my EDC, and I'm proud to call it my companion through the rest of my recovery.

a great use and a great tip! That’s too bad that you broke your leg I too know the ol’ garbage bag and tape routine as I broke my leg a few years ago as well. It’s no fun at all! Wishing you a speedy recovery my friend!

Used the Director's orange peeler to... peel an orange! First time I tried it.

I hope it's not true that they discontinued these little wonders. My favorite Executive from the 60s and its sister from the 70s.Orange peeler has finer serrations on the earlier version. :D

They are one of my favorites, although I say that about most of them. The S clips are great. I have seen some even smaller ones but I never seem to catch them in stock.

Too bad they have been discontinued. Really like the size plus the orange peeler is great for opening boxes. Here is one I just added some new scales on. Think the line would have last longer if they offered more tool options or added scale options with ink pens or like this both toothpick and tweezers in a single scale.

I do too.

The CYC was over a couple months ago, I picked up my fair share of Executives, yet I'm still looking at them on the eBay.

That tab is not necessary in my mind, but on there so you can easily remove scale to replace the Fisher ink cartridge.

I had never modded 74mm until now, decided I better give it a try while you can still find a few of them. Had to sacrifice a rally SAK for the combo tool and back spring off a donor that was part of a SAK lot I recently picked up on eBay. Phillips screwdriver this size is super useful to me for kids toys and whatnot. Happy with results so far.
