:ahhh.  I'm looking forward to it.  I think I'm going to carry my Opinel No 8 Outdoor and my butter blade Spirit.
Excellent choices Barry :like:

Thanks Echotech!  I have more than I realized, but I have to keep it simple for my ADHD mind  :facepalm:

I might just have bought something with a combo edge.

If I have, it wont be here in time for 2/1, but it'll still be interesting to try it out.
It's a bit larger than I'd normally carry for EDC, so I probably wont be able to do a full 30 anyways.
I wanted something with a reasonable portion of each edge type to familiarize myself with CE. If I find it serves a purpose, I might look for a replacement that has the features I would like, but first I have to gain enough experience to know what those are.

Challenge somewhat accepted :)

Great start!  Probably the most iconic combo edge blade on a multitool.

It's  still January here and I have decided to join despite not having more than 2 CB and really don't liking them. But I won one a few days ago and it might be good to try it out and I have a OHO trekker that I don't use that much

Forgot the pics

That Spatha is iconic!  Lots of combo edge blades from the 80s and 90s are.

We will see how it goes!

I usually carry a sak so having only a CB will be a challenge

Day 1 (early)

Also hopping on a day early to reduce the overlap with the vintage SAK challenge next month. I'll be carrying a 2011 Soldier, my daughter's BYSAK. It's just nice to have a full sized SAK in my pocket again, after having to carry other stuff for challenges for a few months. Used the main blade to open a Victorinox sharpener that I got a good deal on last week. Not sure the serrated blade made any difference here, but did definitely open the package.

Hi BPR, FYI the vintage SAK challenge is May, I'm doing the Rebar challenge in March and hopefully Fools of April after that, hence May

Day 2

I use a #8 in the kitchen every day so knew I’d have no problem switching the CE version, worked a charm :tu:

Potato salad with chives, dill, mayo and Greek yoghurt

Day 1: Here we go!  Woke up to a cold morning today.  I used the butter blade Spirit to open a bag of wood pellets for our pellet stove.  Great start everyone!

Day 1:

Good morning everyone! The Soldier 08 will be my companion for this challenge.

I actually picked up this knife on a bit of a whim, I was able to “cash in” some points through work. I didn’t like the look of anything else I could spend points on until I searched up Victorinox, and low and behold I had enough points to get a Swiss Champ and enough left over to also get a Soldier 08.

Fast forward a few months, the Swiss Champ has barely seen any use and the Soldier has been in my pocket almost daily! I am surprised how much I like the 111 mm size, and the utilitarian simplicity.

Happy challenge day 1 everyone!  :salute:
