Carl I'm in a Buck 110 Challenge so any experiments will have to wait.  :D   I have been playing with the Christy and like it well enough I ordered another. I'm not by nature a minimalist. I do like some small knives and they certainly have there place in the scheme of things.    :tu:

 :tu:

I've often wondered if the medical establishment has a name for my obsession with minimalism. I even gave my obsession a name some years ago; maximum minimalism. Kinda nuts, I know, but in some ways I'm like an addict. I've had this obsession over how small can I go and still function? Like carrying a monocular instead of binoculars. Teeny keychain size knife instead of a larger one. NAA mini .22 revolvers. Leatherman squirt instead of full size tool. In 2005 I went as far to duplicate my 2001 cross country motorcycle ride on a Vespa PX150, from Mission Viejo California where my daughter lives, back home to Germantown Maryland. Just wanted to see if I could do it.

Yes, my name is Carl, and I'm an addict to maximum minimalism!


Anyways, thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

Well, technically the UK is still a part of the continent, if not mainland Europe. :whistle:

I think they think that the British and Irish Isles are not part of any continent, but are a subcontinent to themselves....

Things I've done in the past week with my Christy knife;

Opened lots of mail.
Cut open large bag of dog kibble,
Opened a half a dozen Amazon boxes.
Opened a few FEDEX boxes,
Cut jute twine to hold up tomato and bell pepper plants,
Opened a few dammed plastic blister packages,
Cut some paracord for a back yard project,
Cut some nice  Jarlsburg cheese to go on some crackers,
Sliced up some grilled chicken to dress up the dogs dinner,
Siiced up some grilled chicken to go on some nice fresh baguette for Karen and mine outing in the woods,
Sharpened the little golf pencil I keep in the shirt pocket for quick notes,
Cut off a few of those plastic price tag things from a few new Magellan fishing shirts,
Trimmed some old monofilament fishing line while fishing wearing a new Magellan fishing shirt,
Sliced a pizza that was not sliced all the way through.

All regular pocket knife stuff.
