Day 17:

Back at work today, now that I can drive with the sunglasses I got from my eye doctor. My eye didn’t bother me as much today.

My only SAK use was to peel a clementine.
Glad the eye is getting better
Beautiful scales on this SAK!
Thanks
thanks SOS  :cheers:

i've got two more of his lights on the way right now! lol
I just found out he is no longer taking US orders so i've got something special on the way from him.
Very cool.

Nice.  I think the firefly, especially paired with helix tinder, is such a cool accessory.  It won’t throw the biggest spark but once you get the hang of it, they will work to start a fire.Nice fix

Thank you Sos24
Day 16
I've been using scissors today,opening meds sachets,some minor manicure surgery and odds and ends.

Day 19: Carried the Explorer and had to use the tweezers to remove a splinter from my daughter's hand and the small blade to cut tape on Easter eggs that the kids gathered at our town's annual Easter egg hunt.

Day 20:
Attended Easter sunrise service, went to church, and then spent the rest of the day at my grandparent's house eating good food and visiting with family. Carried my new Hiker in a new Hitch & Timber pocket organizer. Only used the philips to adjust the scout carry strap on my fixed blade but didn't have my phone to take a picture at the time. Hope everyone's day was terrific!

DAY 21   

I noticed that my truck seat cover ripped.  Option 1, buy news ones.  Option 2, sew it.  OPtion 3, MacGyver it!

I used the Compact to cut a piece of camo duck tape that I keep in the truck.  Then put a piece on the inside of the tear, and a second to go on the outside.

Day 21

Tinker and Vagabond  in the pocket, rest of kit in the grey bag!

At dentist office, they awl liked my kit, referred to it  as a Mrurse and wanted to know if available in other colors🙄

Back at home, right side of lower jaw and Half of tongue still no feelings.

Prepped lawnmower for seasonal duty. The Vagabond’s Wharncliff blade scraped carbon from spark plug. 

Third plug started!!!!

I've cleared out my browsing history. There may well be some interesting or just plain odd things showing up in my ads. Of course I got a prompt from the e-mal provider to verify my identity. I'm so sick of that smurf. :twak:

Great work, y'awl! :2tu:

Day 22

Received this poor old Wenger free with another purchase, it’s in the worst condition of any of my SAKs but reckon it’s still usable just about. The lock is completely useless, everything is hard to open, the blade is dull

Not really worth cleaning up as I don’t need it for anything but will keep it nonetheless

Day 22

   Tinker went along on a trip to ACE.  ACE is the place with the helpful hardware man.  They got in a bunch of STIHL brand yard equipment since the last visit.  I looked at their CASE knives.  Decent prices.  They had one Victorinox.  Nice red cellidor Climber on a hanging card.  $31.99. 
    Of course I already have one at home.  After today, I think I might carry a Climber for a few days.  Bought a spark plug for my weed wacker and went home.  Champion sparker.  Made in some slave labor sweat shop.  Same thing with the new tube of Colgate toothpaste I opened today.  Best wishes.  G

💥DAY 20💥

got kidnapped by my gf but don't worry it wasn't against my will lol

Here's my catsup posts  :ahhh

went super minimal on Easter Sunday only carrying an alox minichamp and MacGyver accoutrements. The MC certainly got some uses and there was no task it could not handle surprisingly.
