Any tips on cutting your nails with a knife? I usually use a nail clipper, using a knife seems a little scary :O
Do it carefully, very, very carefully, whittle them down a little at a tyme, not all at once like with clipper or scissors.

I'm retired now. My last "office" job was at a small independent TV station, in Idaho, where I was (among other things) Receptionist (IMHO, quite possibly the ugliest receptionist in pre-recorded and recorded history), Assistant Broadcast Engineer, Traffic Director (I interrupted the regular programming to run the ads when they were supposed to run, and in the correct order), Executive Secretary to both the station manager, and the station's owner, Assistant Station Manager, Assistant Sales Manager, Custodian, Groundskeeper, VP of Security, Night Watchman, Chauffeur, Truck Driver, vehicle mechanic, and Web Master (among other things) for the boss' vacation rental property, in the Florida Keys.
My most used knives were a three layer SAK Huntsman, and a Schrade (USA) Old Timer 7OT or 6OT, depending on which was on my belt at the time.
I trimmed and cut electrical wires and co-ax cables, vacuum, heater and radiator hoses, opened packages (including those accursed clam packs) and boxed assemble-it-you-self office furniture, removed the cellophane from the DVD' with the new ads for broadcast, trimmed the odd bush branch (using the Huntsman's saw) cut wire ties and plastic banding, carved/whittled inletting for locks on wood cabinets and drawers, slice my pizza, open sausages, frozen nuggets, tater tots, and other bagged frozen food, bags of rice (using the Huntsman's scissors) ... just the "normal every day" stuff.
yes. There was no such thing as "over-time"; I was salaried. I got paid the same if I worked my normal 120~130 hours a week, or only just 40 hours. (I'd need a excellent excuse if only 40 hours, though.) ("Social Life" What's that?)
