Boy hiddee you’re right when you say just give me half the energy for a couple of days. I’m an old man who spent most of the 70’s and 80’s working on Komatsu dozers and track loaders. I have a Bobcat sitting at the house and I’ve leveled off a pad, ready for a rubble floor, from rubble I got off a job a couple of years ago. I’m layed up in the hospital with cancer and just itchin’ to get back outside. I agree with you young man. Further away from neighbors you can get, the better off you are. Get ‘er done while you can there young man. You seem to have a good work ethic and some talent operating equipment. Good for you.

@@nicholashartzler2205 I carry both. The utility knife gets all the grunt work and I go through blades pretty often. My pocket knife is a $15 dollar It only takes a few minutes with a good wet and some cardboard to make them sharper than a new utility blade. Of course that wouldn't last trying to cut out a caulk joint on a concrete wall. My work occasionally calls for me to make nice cuts on material that is too thick for a utility blade. I tried the longer ones that you can just snap off sections. They are sharp enough but tend to snap off. The pocket knife doesn't get a lot of use but is a life saver when I need it. Also it is fun to bring out when some young buck is showing off his new super sharp $150 wonder knife. A quick game of whose knife is sharper usually changes the lunch time subject away from knives for a week or two.

In my fifth grade, we were not weird for carrying a pocket knife. Feel not dressed without my EDC. Strangely, dressed up is most undressed in that respect. Great momentum and flow.

I have 4. One in the shop, one in the house, one in the truck, n one at work. Great little cutters.

I have two folding utility knives. Two because I can usually find one. They are my go to knives for all that utility knife stuff. They sit in a pocket better, and the blade change is pretty easy. I’m a building contractor, so utility knives are an essential tool. So Matt, keep on keeping’ on.

Suggestions: 1.After the ridge caps.. Add some pipe ducting for the container sides so no water is standing on the container roof after a downpour, 2. add some barn lights or LED hanging bar lights so u can work inside and see whatca doin. 3.

Folding utility knife is a useful tool. I have a couple in my truck, one in my tool pouch, one or two in the junk drawer, and one in my hunting pack. Shop is starting to take shape, winter is coming for y’all up there. I’m looking forward to some end walls and finishing the roof. If not, it’s gonna be cold doing PM on your equipment to be ready for spring I’m envisioning pour a grade beam, and framing the end wall with metal studs, then cover with R panel, something along those lines? Something similar on the entrance wall, with the barn doors you mentioned?

Can't live without my Stanley folding knife here in Pretoria, South Africa.

I keep one in my utility drawer to open boxes. It's way better than other box cutters I've used. I love how I can change or flip the blade over to a new side with the push of a button.

From experience I've found that a plumbers torch works best in cutting the fabric. Not only does it cut it quicker. It seals the ends from fraying.

Absolutely having one is better then any standard folding knife. And with a quick change blades I don't have to stop to sharpen the blade.

The razor knife is the way to go, I love mine and keep it handy in my truck dialy for any landscaping or building.

My brother and I both carry husky folding razor knives! My favorite one has a razor blade and a more traditional knife with a small section of serrations. My uncle first showed us his about 15 years ago and still carries one. He started carrying one because of how handy the blade size is, and because you can just replace the blade to sharpen it. Plus, they are inexpensive and he didn't have to worry about losing his made in USA folding knives.
