The Boss Lady walked into the room and threw a bag of pecan pralines into my lap. Excitedly I grabbed up ol' Tom and opened up the package with the small knife blade.
I was so excited that I forgot to take a picture at the time.

Day 9

More time with the Marlboro PST. Taking staples out of a decorative box that’s falling apart. This is like the third box this year I’ve taken apart but they’ve lasted for years.

They have a habit of doing that.

Well, dang. I missed that this challenge was happening. Right up my alley! One third complete is a bit late to start.

PitCarver · **Reply #67 on:** March 10, 2024, 08:05:20 PM

I'm fairly certain that you can make it up, GA. Come on in, the water's fine.

PitCarver · **Reply #68 on:** March 10, 2024, 08:13:10 PM

It's been a few weeks since we had our grandkids over because of the Boss Lady's eye surgeon so they'll be here later this afternoon. Picking up some things I found my "covid bag". I had picked it up at a surplus place in the mountains right before I got the covid real bad. Has some lose threads and frayed spots that ol' Tom had no issues with taking care of with the scissors.

I’m not participating because I had already committed to the Opinel Challenge for March, but I’ve been enjoying following along.

The more the merrier! I’ll hang around the extra days with you if you decide to join.

Day 10

I’ve been carrying a PST the last couple days after Kick. Not a downgrade as each has its place but I prefer the Kick.

Getting myself a little snack.

AzteCypher · **Reply #73 on:** March 11, 2024, 05:49:22 AM

I'll hang around too if you decide to pursue it GA1dad.

Day 10

Made the Executive decision to cut open this bag of food for the canine before he decides to raid my fridge.

Day 11

Open up this box that had some radio frequency ablation needles in it.

PitCarver · **Reply #75 on:** March 11, 2024, 08:58:38 PM

The weather hasn't decided whether to warm up yet or stay cool. We're just sitting out front enjoying the "extra hour" of sunlight that the government gave us for today.

Day 11

Carried the Wenger Golf Pro today. This is probably my least carried SAK. I got one when I bought my both of brothers one. They are golfers and I thought maybe I’d go more with them. I am not a golfer and we haven’t had the chance so it sits in a drawer. It’s a nice knife that if I golfed I would carry.

Day 11

We're taking the Wenger Spotlight out for a spin this week. I switched out the bulb for an LED and it works pretty good for what it is. The camera makes it seem a little brighter than it really is but you'd be able to use the light to find your keys in the dark. The Spotlight also had package duty today.

PitCarver · **Reply #78 on:** March 12, 2024, 07:35:45 PM

The Boss Lady and the Sidekick presented me with 2 broken refrigerator magnets that had missing magnets. They actually had the magnets just both were off of the figures, so ol' Tom took to scraping off the old residue so that I could make the women folk happy for a while.

Alox and tweezers and toothpicks, oh my.

Day 12

The Spotlight sharpened up this pencil for me so I could finish fixing the back fence. Finally done!!

PitCarver · **Reply #82 on:** March 13, 2024, 09:56:48 PM

I found that my fingernails had again grown and needed attention. Ol' Tom to the rescue.

I had hoped that an order with some higonokami knives would be in today but they're up in Queens.
Perhaps later in the week.

Day13

The Wenger on standby.

AzteCypher · **Reply #84 on:** March 14, 2024, 07:41:23 AM

Day 13

Just breaking down boxes for recycling.

PitCarver · **Reply #85 on:** March 14, 2024, 08:56:26 PM

I'm sitting out on the front porch, still waiting on the Pony Express rider to drop off my package. Definitely frustrating waiting on something to arrive.
I'm too old for this crap.

Ol' Tom thought that my wait would be more pleasurable if I had my daily half cigar smoke.

He really is such a considerate fellow.

Perhaps tomorrow... It's listed as being only 1 state over this afternoon.

Day 14

Finding slug eggs with the kids using the Outdoorsman.

Day 14

Using the scissors on the Outdoorsman to cut out a template for another mod with internal storage. This one will use a coil spring.

AzteCypher · **Reply #88 on:** March 15, 2024, 05:40:12 AM

That looks very interesting!

Day 14

Very frustrating day today but, I survived.

Grand_Banana · **Reply #89 on:** March 15, 2024, 04:54:54 PM

Day 15 halfway through!

We had a nice warm morning before the clouds rolled in and temp dropped.

Got to sit outside and prepped some tinder for next months fire starter challenge with the Outdoorsman.

I tried out the Vic sharpener. As expected it works great for SAKs but not so well for the harder PST blade steel. The PST blade is also just awful it needs a proper rehab. I was also able to strop on my leather belt… this is really nice as I could keep a SAK field sharp with just this sharpener and my belt.
