Wood 'n Fruit

Well, it's Sunday. Tomorrow is Monday. Sorry for stating the obvious. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Today I got bored and felt like giving the RMD a little workout. I really haven't done to much with the RMD (well actually if you count digging a whole 5+ inches deep in a cedar tree then I have done something).

I got some boards from the last palette destruction that I did. I felt like working the tip (don't know why but the tip on this knife has done more work than the edge).

Here we go!



Getting some pretty good sized splinters popping out.



After a quick minute or two I got all the way through.



Tip is still fine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />



The dug a pretty decently sized hole in the board.



WHOOO!!!!



Let's do it again!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />



After another quick minute the tip made it to the other side.



The aperture wasn't large enough so I went at the wood some more. This happened:



WELL THAT WAS A FAILURE!!!!



But the tip is still good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I had an extra board so off I go again.

This RMD is crazy good at digging in wood.

In another minute the RMD punctured through.

Tip is still good. YAY!!

So after that I became hungry. Off to the kitchen it is!!!

The victim:

This is gonna be fun.

The skin on this Pomelo is thick!! I had to make several slices before I got to the meat.

Look at the thickness of the skin compared to the RMD!!

MMMM, fresh fruit is always good.

The pomelo was exceptionally good. It was very sweet and tangy with a slight hint of papaya (an odd characteristic in this one particularly). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Enjoy!

I love the workouts you put your knives through ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Great pics of a truly great knife !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That poor Mandu. I think you have shown its strength, Sharp. Noss would be proud. The RMD is a great all-around knife. I give your Sunday entertainment :<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks you guys, I did have some fun. Usually Sundays it's, "BACK TO WORK!!!!!"

I forgot to mention...

Anyone with an RMD, feel free to use the tip and have no fear of breaking it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That will be the conclusion of this particular test.

hahahaha i was grimacing throughout the whole post

I haven't got a knife similar to my RMD like sharp does (he has the CSK), so if I break the tip on mine, i'd be SOL for as long as it took to repair it...so, don't want to risk it

I can't tell if you guys are kidding but...
I doubt any of you COULD break the tip on the rmd unless you tried.

awesome pics sharp.
that rmd looks pretty nice...
a little too nice...
now work on that edge!!!
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Cloak good to hear your back.

And SOL wouldn't be the correct term. You'd be SNAFUN. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

EMF, thanks. Picture 3 man, picture 3 man. You can see the gunk on the blade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thats one tuff little knife !!!

Nice. The RMD is a great knife.

Great RMD workout, Sharp!

I was very tempted to buy another one at Knob.

lol sharp.
I ws just messing with you.
I'm sure its safe to say most of your knives are well used.

Lol EMF (BTW I forgot to mention a long time ago, but did you know that your acronym actually means electromotive force? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ).

Actually I really haven't used the RMD. There's just some paint off from the tip and a little smoothing paint (from stropping) near the edge. I should use it more but since I have my FBM... well, you get the picture.

RW, You should have gotten another RMD in G10 (if they had them). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That was freakn' awesome testing of the RMD. Glad one is coming my way. Thanks Sharp!

When I was a teen studying for my HAM license, one of the instructors at the HAM club kept calling it "ElectroMODEM force". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Shaolin,

Glad you enjoyed the test. When you get your RMD, be sure to do the same. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

AW,

AHahhahaha, I guess he never took Chem in highschool. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Sharp:

I know what SNAFU stands for. I’m clueless about SNAFUN. Please explain.

At that time I had an idea, now I don't even know what that means. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I think it's the same as SNAFU except the N means "now."

Well, I got my RMD, but have yet to take it out, soon though.
