    Cut some very hard plastics today. It was a plastic that was 5-6 mm thick, and if it were any harder, it would break rather than cut. The dedicated tool for cutting it sucked. I think it was a dense nylon, it took. 30-40+ kilos of force to cut, and if you whittled it , it was like trying to whittle rock maple ,Anyway, m390 para took the job and handled it like a champ, definitely a heavy duty knife...when you aren't prying . Still shaves btw

    For the last week have been building a patio. My CE Delica 4 has cut strapping, plastic wrap, fiborous wrap from bulk material packaging, sharpened carpenters pencils, cut concrete adhesive tubes. Basically every cutting job except for the stone used to build the patio.

    Came through with flying colours, touched it up once during the week (10 strokes per side on the SM). Never discount the abilities of a VG10 Delica, as well CE's aren't popular but it was the perfect tool for the job. Next job is to give it a good cleaning and sharpening.

    Cut the goopy dangling part of a plug out of a few cars tires today. Still surprising how sharp the factory edge of a Spyderco is.
    ...I have no knives I keep in a safe but there are one or two that don't leave the house...

    Chewed through some cardboard, opened some boxes, opened up some foil gaylord bags, and peeled some labels off a gaylord.

    ...Average day.

    i used my endura to sharpen carpenter pencils, what seemed like 20 times, i just kept freaking misplacing them. it was my fault for not getting my belt and puches out But in the end the deck did get finished i also used it to clean up some cuts i made with a jigsaw into some trex like decking, it worked like a charm.

    Just eye it usually but it's approximately a pound of peppers, 2 small bell peppers, 2 cloves of garlic, about a 3"X1" piece of ginger, a teaspoon of peppercorns, and 5 tablespoons of salt. Blend and mix with a gallon of vinegar. Stand for at least two weeks.

    The pic is of the last liter I have. I usually make a new gallon batch when I'm down to a liter.

    I will have to try that in a smaller batch for starters. Do you (have you in the past) use any dried chillies in the mix?

    I'm sorry, but no. You probably just have to hydrate the mix when you blend it. Or use vinegar in the blender. That's what I do. Yep, small batch is the thing when you're still experimenting with taste.

    I do find that even with more peppers, it doesn't get hotter. You just get more "pepper" taste and smell.

    I used my Spyderco Military to scratch out the magnetic strip of my Mastercard.

    Due to security reasons, I did not take photos

    When I noticed I missed a spot shaving this morning, I used my Jester for a quick trim in the men's room at work. Worked like a charm.
