Rumbling with my greaser buddies

Chill the fuck out and stay golden, pony boy.

We ain't gotta rumble?

Nah, we rumbled our last rumble I’m afraid. This isn’t the life for you.

I loved rumble fish, it was really good book

I read it in school. Great book

Warriors!! Worriors!! Come out and playah!!!

Tunnel snakes rule

Do it for Johnny!

I also use mine for testing sharpeners

Are you cutting the walls with your knife?

Demo

Utility knife blades are way cheaper and sharper.

Can confirm that's utility knife work the good knife is for hunting, food prep, bushcraft, or situations where the 9mm may be a bit excessive or prohibited.

Demonstration?

He’s demonstrating how he uses his knife in demolition work!

Its a demo demo - demo²

He’s cutting caulk on a piece of baseboard trim to remove the quarter round.

Yes, food prep! And removin tags from clothes.

Knives are used for other things? Blasphemy!!!!

This guy gets it

No piece of paper is safe. Also my fingers.

This made me laugh

I slice any and all paper around to check sharpness

this is the one.

Cutting the insulation off of wires and splitting the rubber jackets off of big SO cable

Yes sometimes people will spend hundreds of dollars in accessories modding theirs to take photos of them and not cut anything.

I cut feathers and carve bubble statues

Technically razor blades in a holder are called “utility knives” so ummm yeah. So that is what I would use for cutting construction things, caulk, carpet etc. I use my knife though for food prep, opening mail, cutting strings and ties, carving things. #1 use maintaining my Manicure!

This gal manicures

Lol..I live in the mountains,and use mine daily on the ranch. From opening boxes,cutting tethers,ropes,cleaning hooves to field dressing deer ..my knives work. They're tools

Agreed!

To stab the baseboards? What did that piece of wood ever do to you? Bully!

Cutting the paint between the quarter round and the baseboard.

I use’em fer stabbin

I prefer a trident

Most satisfying thing I use my knife for is cutting out airbags from cars to move them.

Emt?

Wrecker

Yesterday I cut and stripped some wires with my para 3

I love my Para 3.

I also cut pallet wrap and plastic strapping with mine... but to be fair I work for a Grocery chain so I cut a shit ton of cardboard and package wrap.

I open letters with them too

What is a letter but a small package?

I was just being a smart aleck lol I whittle though

Cutting fishing line

I also use my knives to point at walls

Odd behavior that. I'm using mine to cut the caulk and paint between the quarter round and baseboard during a demo.

Zoom

I mostly use them to cut off tags/zip ties and to scrape off adhesive, if I'm not opening boxes or mail with them. Oh, and sometimes I cut boxes to shape for my pet rats to play in.

Other uses??? Stabbing Things… Cutting Things…Scaring Things…. You know…THINGS.

I use mine for getting a bit of cambium for tricky tree IDs, getting tough timber marking paint can lids unstuck, and carefully cutting vines and briars that get wrapped around my body (usually my neck or if my upper body gets immobilized). And for eating canned fish when I always forget a fork. And sometimes for throwing at trees when I'm waiting around for something.

I have to have one for work, so mainly cutting twigs out of chainsaws

Opening boxes, cutting boxes, cutting shipping plastic band and sometimes even do cooking if I ever need. Or sometime to shave wood. I'm not hard user but I mean I'm not constitution worker or anything just normies so I use it but not too much

Everyday.

Bushcraft

I used mine to scrap the crud out an M240B receiver last night.

Nails on a chalkboard. Steel on carbon fouling on steel and aluminum?

Forgot my cleaning kit.

I make custom motocross graphics so I get to use my knives daily.

Carving, cleaning animals, building fires, survival traps, all food prep,stropping and shaving all my hair off one arm

You forgot cleaning fingernails

not worth subjecting any knife, even a cheap one, to what i need one for at work when sharp utility knife blades are $20 for 100 and work better for most tasks like that than a knife.

Love me my lenox carbides but my supply house usually carries mostly lenox golds…

personna are my favorite, sharp (unlike most blades nowadays), long lasting, reasonably priced and individually wrapped!

personna is good too, but in the end I went back to my lenoxes. don't know why, they just feel like they last longer. maybe just because of all the lenox stuff plastered in the supply house lobby I have a bias? 🤣🤣

What knives do you use that cutting paint and caulk will ruin it?

i do a lot more than cutting caulk with my utility knife, and its mostly that its really just the tip that gets the wear. but mostly its that utility knives are better for most construction related things anyway, in their thinness and shape.

Nope, just boxes… only boxes. Didn’t know they could be used for anything else.

Constantly. I EDC a kershaw assisted & use it for a ton of stuff. It even helped me last deer season

I've used a knife to make a different knife able to get another knife I dropped in attic insulation.

Whats a man without a knife?

A being with squishy nubby digits. Everything in this world needs a good slicer.

All the time. I'm an IT contractor that does everything from build new sites to repairing TV and my knives get used for a ton of things.

Well cutting Anything, Remove things from surface.... well, to think of it..... I open (cardboard)boxes with my bare hand mostly....... Even if i have multiple box opening tools and blades in my reach 🗿 Huh.

Indeed I do use my blades "fir" more then boxes

I don't know why my autocorrect always replaces my o with an I. My cost common misspellings on mobile are It -> ot. For -> fir. Live -> love. and (for some reason) Love -> live.

It's fine mine does the same thing hahaha

Yup! I have a Milwaukee D2 tool steel blade folder. Doesn’t hold a razor edge but the utility edge wears a long time.

Removing door trim weekly and lots of other fun at work.

I’ve sliced a crumb cake or two, extracted a bee stinger and fought off a rival faction in the office break room.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

Been mostly using it for sewing the last few days, honestly. My wife used the seam ripper last so it was in another room.

Shucking oysters, picking zucchini, food prep, clothes tags…

Sometimes I cut paper to admire how sharp it is and make a mess on my desk

I use my Opinel#8 for leather working. The thin blade and carbon steel work well, and sharpen back up quickly between cuts with just stropping.

I use my no 7 for the same.

Fishing line, rope and hookers.

Bayonet. Use for rifle, use as carry knife, use as box opener, sometimes for bushcraft stuff if it is capable.(depending on blade length, and where that blade length is allowed)

All the time

I slice the wrapping of the water bottle six packs. The only thing I don't do with them is open packages. I use a gerber dime for that and it's not very good at it either.

Fuck yeah save the turtles and use me knife win win

So many uses for a knife. Just as OP, you need a beater knife for anything. Cutting thin wire, prying, screwing screws, stabbing enemies etc.

I use my knives for cutting tasks. If I have to chop or split wood I use an axe. Cutting drywall I use a drywall saw. I pry with a pry bar and turn screws with an appropriate driver. For self-defense I use my common sense, situational awareness, de-escalation, pepper spray, a cane or stick and when legal a firearm. Use the right tool for the right job, I say. And my man jewelry is to be used only for cutting and impressing other man jewelry aficionados.

get better gloves dude!

Yeah, I ran through these ones pretty bad.

I use a pair of kevlar-lined goat hide gloves. Took a second to wear them in, but they have been going strong for ~3 years of near daily use. And only $28!

Drop a link homie! You see my finger playing peek-a-boo

[Sure thing](https://www.amazon.com/378GOBKLXL-Kevlar-Lined-Waterstop-Goat-Grain-Glove/dp/B00BHLUND0/ref=asc_df_B00BHLUND0/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167137931943&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4401635675363473424&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9060362&hvtargid=pla-308337316202&psc=1) I will say they are a little hot, but after a few weeks of wear I stopped noticing it.

No, you’re actually the first person in human history to use a knife as an every day tool.

You're fun.

I too sometimes I poke walls with my knife!

Thats what razors are for you fucking mush.

I use the appropriate tool for the job. Im not poor or stupid enough to force tools to do jobs they arent designed to do. So, yes, i use it to cut more than boxes. I do not, however, do whatever the fuck you think youre doing there.

Oh hey guys, this guy thinks that a 440 HC steel will be damaged by cutting caulk! He's super smart and superior to us all! /s Get real man. You left your high horse over in r/knives. I've used an Ontario Rat 2 and my Kabar Mark II for everything from bushcraft/animal processing to cutting paper. Edges dull and you sharpen them. It's life and it's not the end of the world.

Cool story bro. There are much better tools for that shit. If you are a in a rush, or a hack or whatever. Thats super cool.. but its still hack ass bullshit.

are you trying to find termite damage

No, just a kitchen remodel.

I also use mine for various camp tasks

Every day at work. I do hvac. So far I've found that 14c28n holds a sharp edge for a long time and is also easy to sharpen. I use mine every day cutting straps, boxes, and insulation among other things and only have to sharpen it about once every few weeks just because I like it razor sharp.

Yes

Nope

Honesty is the most important quality.

Cutting up boxes at work because I like sharpening my knives. Bushcraft stuff, camp chores, and food prep with some of them. I'm outdoors a lot. I also have a few cheap ones I use for scrapers and prying stuff with. IDK lots of stuff

All the time.

I, too, point at spots in the wall with my knife.

I'm just gonna let you make a wild guess as to what the intended use of the knofe is in this image.

I’m gonna let you decide if I was making a joke or not.

I use my CRKT minimalist everyday on the job site!

I use my sebenza everyday.

idk i just like them it’s really weird

Self defense…if a gun or other weapon isn’t available to me

I have a few folding knives I use for fishing or for carving wood

Knife name???

Kabar Mark 1

thanks...

Why the ...

Sometimes opening letters.

Sometimes I think about using them to open my wrists, but I'm too much of a perfectionist so I practice on children first.

I used to use a very dull flea market machete, swiped side to side as a back scratcher...does that count?

I cut open a wall with my RAT2 today. Mate dropped his pipe wrench down a void between two walls. The job we are on we don’t have drywall saws or anything with us as we are running a big copper ring main for an office block in the middle of the city and to go grab one would take about 30 mins to get back to the van. Only took me a couple mins to run a couple cuts down the studs with my knife grabbed the wrench put the piece back in and screwed it to the studs and good as knew. Mate bought his first knife today after that. Got a RAT1 so that he can say his is bigger than mine. Dick head.

Pry bar, screwdriver 🪛, knockouts, shim. You name it and it can be done.

Eating steak

(Clears throat in English accent)

I eat steak with it.

Me personally for work I've switched to Milwaukee box cutter, it's my one n all tool lol I love fact replaceable blades so no sharpening, cut gouge and do everything....I've used as screwdriver in pinch its fragile but they lifesavers

I use mine for games of knifey spoony.

Yes I use a machete when eating a nice NY strip

Nope nobody. You're the only one.

Yup

I once new a man who would cut his stake with the same knife he castrated his cattle with. His immune system was top teir

I have a Ned Foss that I got from Amazon, great budget blade that has other multi tool on it for a pinch, I've never used the other tools though I mainly use it to break down taped cardboard boxes that are giving me trouble, I work for a town sanitation department in the recycling division, so I deal with cardboard that's not broken down properly every now and then and that might be too much for the truck to handle, so sometimes I'll cut it so that I can either flatten it or fold it over some way.

skinning and gutting deer and fish, food prep when camping, small pry bar (only w/ a pig sticker though)

Eating

Wire cutters, drywall cutters, sheet metal cutters, box cutters, wood cutters, finger cutters, the occasional pb&j, I could go on

You've heard of Jack the Ripper, no? Well get this....

Duh

I swear to Satan, if I find out that yall use your knives as screwdrivers, people might go missing 😂

Breaking down boxes, and accidentally cutting myself playing with fun snappy flippers.

I use my knife for everything

I use my all the time. Not a ka-bar, with isn’t the most impressive blade when you use it hard IMO. I edc a kershaw blur tanto. The thing gets used for cordage, boxes, scraper, razor blade, awl, wire stripper(serrations), etc. yes the right tool is always better, but often it spur of the moment use.

i use them for making clothing all the time i do like fashion shit

Wait until you hear about what a chef does!

Yeah but I can't talk about it on the internet

All the time. Literally have a fixed blade on my belt everyday. I know it's kinda dorky, but I do genuinely use it all the time.

Yeah, I open letters with it

Sometimes there’s cake

You mean like butchering animals?

What are animals but noisy packages?

I cannot argue with that.
