The blade - cutter on the Army styled tin opener that I never use.
It does have one advantage if the ring pull breaks as you can open the tin from the bottom easily.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourite.
There are lots of leaf-cutter bees (of several species) active at my garden bee-hotels at the moment. I've been spending ridiculous amounts of time positioned there, attempting to get that perfect in-flight shot. Just to make it clear, I realise that this shot is far from perfect!
I think that this is a Patchwork Leafcutter Bee (Megachile centuncularis). I've not seen one carrying such a large piece of leaf before. I was actually focused on another hole, waiting for a larger leafcutter female to return, when this individual flew into view. I'm a bit "diagonal" to the surface of the bee-hotel here, hence parts of the bee being in focus, but the majority not. It's very "touch and go" this in-flight photography. I've been positioning myself with the camera focused on a particular hole where I have seen a female leave. They generally return within 30 seconds with another piece of leaf. You can hear them coming, but they often hesitate when they become aware of you and the camera next to their nest. As soon at their head appears in frame, I take the shot.
I haven't got a really top quality shot during this recent session. I shall persevere though!
This is an envelope opener. You run the top of the envelope along the groove and a small cutter slices 2mm or so off the top of the envelope. It is just under 50mm long.
The image has been focus stacked to keep all of the subject and its reflection in focus.

Crazy Tuesday - Hand Tools
This stainless implement is used to decoratively halve round fruit or veg into a star shape...... I have had this for well over 30 years, have no idea what it is called or where I got it from. I regularly use it for lemons when serving fish and tomatoes before I grill them for an English breakfast or a steak dinner!!
I have tried to find something similar online but nowhere to be found!! I would be very interested to know if any of our Crazy Tuesday friends have had one or got one still?
Taken for 'Macro Mondays' theme:
'Member's Choice - Found in the Kitchen'
The kitchen provides me with many photo opportunities, so it was a case of looking for something not so obvious for this week's theme. In a drawer, 'hidden' in a tin I came across this set of pastry cutters. Luck was with me because the bottom of the tin was lined with a disk of red paper. So removing the centre cutter and balancing it on the others I got this photo.
No extra or fancy lighting was needed with the tin on the work surface.

SUBJECT: PURPLE NAIL CUTTER
less than 1 1/2" width including open space.
Second cut series.
This bee actually cuts out small round pieces of leaves that she uses in her nest. It's not a honey bee and isn't social like them. Notice the piece of leaf between the bee's legs. She's just about to fly off with it.
See the "Leaf Cutter Bee Set" for a series of these photos.
One of many cutters from my grandfather's Fulton Combination Moulding Plane. This one forms the edges of mullions, muntins, rails and stiles in wooden windows. If I had actually used this cutter it would be a lot sharper. I have used several of the other cutters for reproducing moulding in our old house. A router or table saw molding head is a better way to go!
In spite of what it says in the EXIF stuff, this was taken with an old manual Zuiko 50mm f/3.5 macro lens.
