Great pics guys, all of them on the page.

Had enough hair on the vacuum beater brush to make a wig. The Kizer Splinter blade was perfect for getting in there and sharp enough to get it right off slicker than snot.

I like how that one is designed. We have three around here, and neither really allow any room to get hair and string/thread cut out. The Shark has quarter-turn fasteners holding the bottom plate on, while the other two require removing several screws to get a knife in there to cut it out. Even a small penknife tends to not be able to get at fibers with the bottom plates on.

You're talking about the vacuum right? Well, it does allow you to get a knife in there for removing hair from the brush, but the suction is poor and the price was high and I'm real disappointed with this model. Using it on a wood floor or linoleum is a waste of time, won't pick up most things. It picks up stuff on carpet, but on a smooth floor it sucks. Our old $39 Hoover picks up better on flat wood floors and carpet. This POS was over $500 and it came with a heavy dose of buyers remorse which is still affecting me.

Used one of mine to unlock a door to my son's bedroom. Learned that one from Mcgiver.

Good stuff!

Cleaned a bunch of panfish with a case Ratcliffe muskrat - that’s a great sized knife for that job

Cut up some veggies for my salad with my Gerber Sharkbelly. Love this knife.

Looks delicious Woodwalker, and healthy. Nice.

Thank you sir! Newmans Own Balsamic as the dressing. Quite tasty. Have a great day Iman!

Looks great. I was going to ask what dressing you used but you answered that. Your "presentation" of the salad is excellent.

I had to cut through several thick green oak branches that kept whacking me when I was mowing the yard. I'd left my big folder at the house, but had my Gerber EAB utility knife with a Lenox Gold blade in it. I was surprised how well that little knife handled the job. I also used it to cut and sharpen the ends of weed eater string.

Well here is something a little different. My wife and I went for a hike today. She has been having problems with the outside of both little toes lately where her shoes rub on her foot. After about 3 miles ,with another mile to go, she stopped and sat on a rock and took her shoes off. She asked that question we all wait for " you have your knife?" Of course I do. She had me cut out toe holes on each side of her shoes to take the pressure off those toes. Looked a little funny but she walked like a young girl that last mile. Do I have a knife...indeed I do. several as a matter of fact.

Was it sharp enough to neuter a gnat? Uncle Buck reference.

Nice little family.

Totally agree.

I hope you washed all the hot dog off that pitchfork before returning it to the barn to clean out the manure with!

Thanks all. I often forget how truly blessed I am
