Day 8


It's not a proper challenge without a pic of the challenge tool opening the package of a new knife or tool.

I decided to see what the hype about GEC knives was all about.  I did a lot of research on what pattern would be right for me, and I finally decided on a #6 Pemberton - the size is just about perfect for me, I like the combination of blades, and it looks very nice.  It took me awhile to find one without a super-ridiculous markup, and I finally found one with just a ridiculous markup  :rofl:  I really like it - it's an incredible little pocketknife 😍  That said, other than having better blade steal, it's very similar in look, feel, and "fit and finish" to my Case knives.  I'm glad I bought it, and I love having it as part of my collection, but I doubt I'll buy another. 


(Image removed from quote.)

Congratulations for acquiring a GEC without having to take out a 2nd mortage  :ahhh  :D

We need to see those Case knives over in the traditional thread   :pok:

Apparently this board shows all the tools you need to buy if you don’t have a Surge.
They should include safety glasses...or did I miss those? :think:

Speaking of overkill, the Surge blade is almost longer than this package is wide  :o

Day Ten

Using the pliers to take apart an old rotten garden chair.

Still good enough for the fire pit, but nothing else.

The serrated blade doesn't work too well on palm fronds, but with the Surge we have options.  The saw zips through palm fronds with little effort.

I used the Surge to strip the sheathing off of this Romex cable:



It is overly large to be used efficiently in this manner

The Surge helped me replace a shower head today.  A surprise use was using the awl to remove the old plumbers tape.

One of thing things I like most about the Surge is the blade exchanger. I use a saw regularly and being able to swap the file is awesome. Just a close up of the exchanger.

 :iagree: on the pics. The pocket clip for me makes pocket carry easy and comfortable. I hate using sheaths personally.
