Disliking Grapefruit - how Odd!!??

Must be a childhood trauma....we used to get served half a g.fruit in its skin, stick your spoon in and almost guaranteed to get a nice acid spray right into the eye Zestful! Well, that's my story....pretty well the only fruit I do dislike though. However, I think a Grapefuit would be a fine object to mass patinate several carbon knives with Cuting up Lime or Lemon works a treat so....Grapefuit on!

That is why I like my Henckels grapefruit spoon. Cuts well so it doesn’t require a lot of force, resulting in little spray.

Nice Grapefruit knife!! You reminded me that I have one also!!

Nice! Looks like a "pro" model!

Late to the party. This is an inoculation knife used for smallpox vaccination. Not something you'd want to use for cutting fruit!

The knife pattern isn't oddball... but advertising laxatives on pocketknives is an unusual tactic LoL

Just right for when it starts 'outgassing' Very cool board....

Now that's interesting, I thought it may have been a paper-knife used for cutting pages in books in the c19th/early c20th but those were usually 'fixed' not folders.

Was told s'long as I keep the offending parts covered or hid, I can post my new "PROFESSIONAL SLING SHOT and KNIFE 2-in-1 COMBINATION" knife here.
By the way, that really is the manufacturer's (Jin Jun Lang) name for it. It may be accurate (I'm not so sure about the "professional" bit though ...)
(all the pictures are new.)
Charlie, Is this "oddball"/"strange" enough for inclusion?

Added a small splitring and lobster clasp for the "glass breaker" to the OEM sheath. Much easier access than in the little pouch.
View attachment 2491791
Also used a 1.25 inch splitring and a second small lobster clasp to convert the sheath into a dangler, that can be hung on the same size splitring located on the 09:00/21:00 belt loop.

To make it "easier" for the staff to bring my trousers back to me, and not make an "an "oops" of giving them to someone else (despite having my name and room number rit on the outside of the front pockets in large letters ...) I put splitrings on some of my belt loops.
I R the only 1 with splitrings on trousers ... and sweatpants ... so far it has worked.

Cool!

Seems like a good place for me to post a pic of my 'Super Knife'!

Nice Grapefruit knife!! You reminded me that I have one also!!

I used to have one nicely made by Remington!! But I gave it to a Remington collector!!

Nice example Charlie Still fairly common here, so I have a few myself Here's one by John Chatterley

Can you supply some more information about this please?

Here's a Cake Knife I gave pmew as a wedding present (I had an identical one, which went to my neighbours for their Gold Wedding Anniversary)



The Joseph Rodgers is probably more practical



You could have laid bricks with this hefty (silver-plated) Falstaff Cake Knife, which I gifted to some friends for their cafe




Another design (I definitely have a few more tucked away, but don't always take pics)

Has anyone posted a bollock dagger yet? That’s a real oddball knife.

I've seen people use potatoes, apples, lemons, limes and steak; but never Grapefruits???!!!
Super Patinator????

Nice "soupbone" handle!!!

LOL! I was just looking at your Gooseberry Gatherer, that definitely has a place here I would have thought

 

[Jack Black]

With a blade of only 2", I'm not sure how much of a Vendetta this knife would be able to pursue Perhaps a Stealth Vendetta Sold as a 'Victorian Picnic Knife'
