This swiss knife is my early birthday gift from my girlfriend. This is really a surprise. I don't remember if I ever said to her that i need one. I don't know how she guessed.
A reference to an article in New York Magazine from the late '70s that criticized weekly newspapers for their ardor in producing "best of" consumer guides.
At Grasshopper Campground, Beaverhead-Deer Lodge National Forest, MT. Taken for a "best of" photo contest by the Missoula Indpependent weekly newspaper.
This barrel had been stuffed into the collapse and the only way to remove it was to stick in the corkscrew from the Swiss Army knife and uncork it like a bottle of wine.
Cheers!
We tried to spend about $10/day overall while traveling in Europe -- and mostly succeeded except in large cities. It helped that the dollar was strong then, but we also economized by hitchhiking, sleeping in our tent most nights, and eating picnic lunches every day. This was a fairly typical spread: a baguette, a brioche, a small round of goat cheese (hard to see sitting on the white paper wrapping), fresh milk (or sometimes wine), a fresh tomato and a fresh peach, and in this case, a jar of caviar. There also seems to be a stuffed item of some sort spilling out of the paper bag. The swiss army knife was our constant companion.

now i can't stand violent gestures and i genuinely wish peace and goodwill upon all wo/men at all times, not just at yuletide... but after an event yesterday that challenged my ability to be forgiving or understanding in any way at all, i felt the need to enact a simple psychomagic ritual in order to focus my feelings of extreme anger and hate... one that you can try in the safety of your own home with no painful repercussions!
walking home at about 16:30 on Argyle Street just past the Sandyford post office, 3 neds in front of me swaggered toward a bloke in his mid-50s, and one of them purposely bumped into him. i caught up and hesitated alongside two that had stopped, as accusations were unfairly made, but one of the two flashed a nasty glance at me which made me look down and continue walking.
i was carrying a heavy bag and laptop, and while i wanted to hang around to check the older man would be ok, i knew i couldn't outrun them or risk getting involved. a terrible dilemma, as it was becoming nastier by the second. the main ned was spitting, and making sudden jerky movements to test the poor bloke out, who was by now not able to turn around and run for fear of being chased down and stabbed.
the third ned had accidentally walked on some distance without realising, and then turned around and charged about 20 metres at full sprint past me and in an instant jumped into the older man's face, knocking him down. an evil, sick little cowardly bastard. the main ned then started swiping his arms downward - not indicative of a regular punch - as the older man stumbled around on the floor to avoid being slashed, and he was saved a few seconds later by a bus pulling up to the bus stop, and a horde of potential witnesses arriving on the pavement nearby. at this point, the man fled back down toward the Sandyford post office.
i had stopped about 15 metres away to see if he needed any help after whatever might have happened, and i felt utterly useless and ashamed at not being able to do any more. an elderly man at the bus stop saw my concerned look and reassured me by saying "it's best to stay away from it, son, there's nothing you could have done". i turned around quickly, because the three were back on the move and had seen i was watching everything, and headed home fast.
seething with rage, i stormed home cursing the neds, and felt so sad for the individual who just happened to be the target of their pointless aggression.
damn all of you alpha male aggressors to the deepest hell, wherever you come from, whatever the local name is for you, whichever hardships or emotional / socio-political conditions may begin to explain why you are such a blight upon the human race. DAMN YOU!

The holes in the top of my salt cellar become clogged and so from time to time I clear them with the reaming tool of my handy penknife.
I've made a small piece for a show in London later this year. It's all about MacGuyver, this one.
At first I thought it'd be about Zartan of Action Force (yes, Action Force, Not G.I. Joe) but being trapped in Denmark, it found it hard to find what I needed - in London, I'd have had it in an afternoon, so I did the proper thing and developed ideas. A few nice ones came up, like a mapping of Magnum P.I.'s tache, still I have to admit that if this page was done by a student, I'd ask them to explore it further...

I have never used the hole in the auger blade of my Swiss Army Knife - a rare example of it coming in handy to make, and thread string through, a hole in this banner :)
Reception went off yesterday evening so I brushed the snow off the dish through the window. Today I was chipping the ice off it with my trusty Swiss Army Knife :)
Retook this with the kit lens and macro tubes after it struck me that a deeper field depth might make focusing easier. Duh. Voila! Much sharper.

Stainless steel is fundamentally an alloy, a blend of metals, with the primary components being iron, chromium, and often nickel. The magnetic properties of stainless steel are largely determined by this alloy composition, with specific types demonstrating stronger magnetic behavior.
In the intricate world of stainless steel, understanding the magnetic properties of different types is crucial for anyone dealing with magnets. While the magnetism of stainless steel can seem like a complex topic, knowing the basics can significantly enhance its utility across a broad range of applications. Remember, when in doubt, a neodymium magnet can often provide the answer!
Below we'll review the most common types of stainless steel and their magnetic properties.
Austenitic Stainless Steel (Home Appliances)
When it comes to your home appliances, especially stainless steel refrigerators, you may have noticed an interesting phenomenon: some of them don't hold magnets. But why is this the case, when we've established that certain types of stainless steel are indeed magnetic? The answer lies in the specific type of stainless steel used in these refrigerators.
Most home appliances, including refrigerators, often use Austenitic stainless steel—specifically types 304 or 316. These variants are popular due to their high corrosion resistance, aesthetic appeal, and formability—qualities crucial for household appliances. However, the Austenitic family of stainless steel, characterized by high chromium and nickel content, is generally non-magnetic.
Ferritic Stainless Steel (Most Magnetic)
When dealing with magnets, particularly neodymium magnets, Ferritic stainless steel stands out for its remarkable magnetic properties. This is largely due to its high iron and chromium content and minimal nickel.
Among the Ferritic stainless steels, type 409, with 11% chromium content, is known for good corrosion resistance and formability, coupled with its magnetic nature. Type 430, another popular variant, contains 17% chromium, making it even more corrosion-resistant while still maintaining its magnetism. Finally, type 446, with a higher chromium content of as much as 27%, exhibits excellent resistance to high-temperature corrosion and is still attractive to magnets.
Martensitic Stainless Steel (Hardened)
In the Martensitic family, the 400 series, including type 410 and 420, show impressive magnetic characteristics. Type 410, a general-purpose stainless steel with 11.5% chromium, provides reasonable corrosion resistance and magnetism. On the other hand, type 420, with a higher carbon content, is a hardenable stainless steel offering excellent wear resistance and is also magnetic.
Notably, the magnetism of these Martensitic stainless steels, specifically 410 and 420, can enhance with heat treatment. Hence, if hardness and magnetism are both required in your application, Martensitic stainless steel should be your top choice.
Duplex Stainless Steel (Hybrid)
Duplex stainless steel, a hybrid that combines characteristics of Austenitic and Ferritic stainless steels, also displays magnetism. Known for their high strength and excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, Duplex steels like type 2205 also work well with neodymium magnets due to their mixed Austenitic-Ferritic structure.
I bought this book second-hand in 1976; the dust jacket is in need of a bit of repair. I'm sure that Pritt Stick is not the archivists adhesive of choice!
I needed a little "thingy" to apply the glue; the handy penknife has a toothpick in the handle - just the job :-)
Got my second prototype titanium scales for my SAKs in over the weekend and they look and fit perfectly. I had a cross cut into the front one and also kept the 1/4" hex cutout on the back one. I put an order in for 10 sets and once they come in I'll be able to start building custom models. :)

I got to Bath just after 10am, and Olive had gone off to Peggy Dodd's OK. I put some washing in and checked the carpets, but needed to go back later to clean them, as I was due to be at Marchmont between 11am and 3pm for the people from Genesis (furniture charity) to come and collect some of Mum's old furniture. Liz & Bill were there, on their way elsewhere, so they stopped and we had coffee and chat before they went on their way. While I was waiting for the Genesis guys to come, I picked up the fallen apples, did a bit of spray weeding, and started tidying and sorting the stuff in the garage and shed. It was quite sad dismantling Dad's old work tables and cupboards, but they weren't in good enough condition to keep. I rescued the handles off one of them, which had been in his dad's work shed (he was a carpenter). One of us may be able to use them. I went back to Olive's to sort her washing and clean the floors, then set off back home. There were dark clouds ahead and sunshine behind, and I had rainbows alongside me almost all the way home!
