Envisioning my Booger in action

[LowWorm]

Okay, I don't own an Atwood Booger yet, but it's in the future scheme of things. What's really bugging is that I'm seeing all the uses for it already, such as:

1) Opening those impossible-to-open plastic laundry detergent buckets. You know the ones, the ones where you have to remove the plastic ring, then cut the slots, then pry the top open. >:(

2) Scraping excess paint from around my patio windows (remnants of a repainting job).

3) Lifting up some incredibly stuck air vent grills.

4) Miscellaneous box opening, scum scraping, etc. :blah:

No pressure, Peter. :fingered:

[Peter Atwood]

Oh man, alright I'll make it for you tomorrow! :P ;D

Actually do have a heat treat coming up in about a week so I'll try to get it in there for you. :)

Roelof,

It's actually sitting on the anvil, already heat treated and just waiting to be ground. Sitting on the anvil is a very good sign as that means that it almost certainly will get done soon...compared to Lowworm's request which exists in the form of a solid uncut steel bar.... :D :P

:ready:

Weehaw, bring it on! Thanks, Peter, can't wait. (Are you sure you want to take a whole week? That tomorrow thing sounds really good to me). :agree:

[dajak]

Ooooohh goodie O0

Thanks for the update peter.

[Desert-K9]

I also am envisioning the many uses for my future Booger.* 8)* In fact while waiting I keep cruising Peter's website for other things to buy.* (Ordered a Tac-strap, Mod Keyton and Glow Whistle Yesterday* :dance:).* As a side note Peter I love the Bug Out Blade.* O0* I have added it to my Jumbo Fatboy Bag as my new fixed blade EDC.* Anyway I will continue finding things for my future Booger to do.*

[Codeman]

Okay, I don't own an Atwood Booger yet...

Glad you clarified what kind of "Booger" you're referring to...the subject line leaves some room for, uh, mis-interpretation!* :D :crazy2: :uglystupid2:

Ack

[pipedreams]

You think Peter could "dig you up" something special?

todd

[Codeman]

:funnypost:

Speaking of uses...I've discovered that my PryBaby XL is perfect for removing tin can lids that my Kuhn Rikon can opener (http://www.kuhnrikon.com/products/tools/tools.php3?id=34) sometmes doesn't quite open.* Some cans just don't open all the way.* But the PryBaby is perfect for completing the job without sharp edges or stuff being splattered everwhere.

[LowWorm]

I'm thinking a Prybaby would be a great gift for my bro-in-law (thanks for the use tip, Codeman).

I thought about it for me, but somehow I don't see many occasions where I'll need to use the bottle opener function as such...(maybe some one can prove me wrong and tell me more alternate uses for that part of the Prybaby).

But the BOOGER...now I can see me using every function of that one. That and the micro card seem like they'd meet 99% of my needs, but only actual experience will tell.

:jumprope:

[M.TEX]

LowWorm,

I think you're right....I love the Prybaby but that Bottle opener it's not
usefull...as farI can imagine...But you never know what kind use we can
find for it. Other tools like Bug out Bar, Micro Card , Booger and other
knives are much more easy to find a use for what they are o rwhat they have on it...
Just my .02 Cents....Im sure I'll get at least 3 Dif. tools in the near future :-X

[Sunnie]

To me, the point of the bottle opener on the Prybaby is so that when people ask me 'what that piece of metal on my keyring is', I can say simply 'it's a bottle opener -- see...?'. That should allow me to end a conversation I probably don't wish to have! The bottle opener 'stealth explanation' feature should be standard on all these tools!! :)

Sunnie

[M.TEX]

:knuppel2:* That should do it.....

What are those scalloped serrations on the side of the Booger used for?

[pipedreams]

What are those scalloped serrations on the side of the Booger used for?
Traction. O0

[In_Flux]

Those are Area 51 grinds :whisper:

[LowWorm]

Speaking of grinds, someone got something with some grinds today... :-X Already jimmied a heating vent and attacked a box.

The fun's just begun :D

[Malcontent]

That is a nice booger you got there! I keep waiting on them to be available, and will order as soon as they are.

Hey, Monica, you want some pink parachute cord to replace the black on that little jewel? I've got a bunch, PM me if you do and I'll send you some.

todd

[LowWorm]

Hmm, Todd, pink's never been my thing. Now red...! Let's talk then. :boots:

Gotta go find me some ticks to squish.

[pipedreams]

I've got day-glo orange, yellow, and green, too. Sorry, no red...

todd

[LowWorm]

Mmmmm...day-glo orange is nice. :dance:

Used the Booger today to pry frozen hamburger...Peter can now add that to the list. :jumprope:

[Makarov]

Hmm, now that I see Monica's Booger I must say that I'm even more interested in one...

I've got a question; I'm envisioning adding a Booger to my keychain, is it doable? (I'm thinking about the size of this thing plus the blade)

[redfish_md]

:D Monica, I am awaiting my Booger. Peter has described one similar to yours in the makes that I hope to have soon. In the mean time I have to be happy with my Prybaby. :peep:

[LowWorm]

Makarov, the Booger was my first Atwood tool, and I couldn't believe how small it was when I first got it. It's definitely keychain size, even w/the kydex sheath.

redfish, you are in for something nice...love to see what personal touches Peter puts on your Booger.

[Gadget Guy]

What an awesome piece! O0

[Peter Atwood]

Redfish, if you are Mark, then I just sent you an email having just finished another like Monica's this morning. :)

[redfish_md]

O0Outstanding news Peter. Yes I am Mark. I can't wait to get to my home e-mail.

[mtnfolk mike]

i think i need a booger or 2......... 8) mtnfolk mike

[LowWorm]

Day 3 of proud Booger ownership, and have pruned a (small) tree, pried frozen hamburger (twice), scraped goo from a door, popped a stuck lid, and cut open a stubborn plastic bag. All spontaneous acts made infinitely easier by El Booger. Viva El Booger!

[xDANx]

Peter,
Do you plan on making any tanto boogers soon?

[Peter Atwood]

Hey Dan, absolutely there will be more coming soon. I'm waiting to hear back from someone whether they are still interested in the tanto that I have on hand and if not you are next on my list to contact. :)

[The Closer]

Gotta love Peter's Boogers!!!! :smitten:

[Gadget Guy]

My damascus booger should be here tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. Nothing like a custon booger! ;D

GG

[TKC]

I would love a tanto Booger!!

[Gadget Guy]

I was very lucky to get that one. I also have a damasteel Prybaby that I was also lucky to acquire. I will post some pictures when I get my Booger..

GG

[Desert-K9]

Got my very own Booger yesterday. It is like LowWorms with the V-notch in satin. It is like a miniature version of my Bug Out Blade, an absolutely fantastic tool. It is now resting comfortably on my keychain. Best keychain tool I have purchased from Peter and that is saying alot. O0

[The Closer]

Glad you guys are liking the Booger, I love it because it is easy to carry and ready, willing, and able to do work (especially the v-notch one).

[Gadget Guy]

I was very lucky to get that one. I also have a damasteel Prybaby that I was also lucky to acquire. I will post some pictures when I get my Booger..

GG


Oops! I traded mine to M.Tex, as it was too small for my needs and I wanted it to go to a good home...

GG

[LowWorm]

Well, looks like I've got me some new Booger brothers. :highfive:

I have definitely worn in my Boog, as the not-so-satiny-now finish will attest to. :) But the body integrity is just incredible on this thing. I keep expecting it to show dings or notches after some particularly involved exercise, but nope! Peter says use the thing, and I have! Next in line for me is a mini-prybaby for when I don't need a little blade.

[M.TEX]

Yes Yes , Thank you GadgetGuy Your Booger is.....ummmm how can I say it....

VERY NICE ! sure I will post a picture of it.... ;D

M.TEX ( Now that I got it, I don't want to use... It's too nice....)

[M.TEX]

* OK here is my Baby ! Too bad I can't take good Pic's...but you got the idea...

[xDANx]

O0 That looks sweet!

[Deaths Head]

That's a nice finish. Is that called raindrop damascus or something?

[M.TEX]

Yes it is " Mike Norris SS Raindrop" on Peter's Info. card

M.TEX

[heathah]

I'm waiting on Peter to make several items for me including a couple Original Boogers with VNotches! ;D

That pic in LowWorm's sig line did me in. :( ;)

[pipedreams]

Very nice, M.TEX!

todd

[pipedreams]

I just picked a Booger out of my mailbox today. Tanto. This is a sweet LITTLE knife. It's TINY! Perfect for keychain or neck carry.

todd

[Peter Atwood]

Glad yer digging it Todd! Use it in good health and enjoy. :)

More Original and V notch Boogers in the tempering oven this morning. Also a brand new wharncliffe shape Booger.... ;) And if I get really ambitious I'm thinking of doing a drop point as well.

[pipedreams]

Wharncliffe, you say...

Drop point sounds really good, but the bummer is that when you list it on the site, all these other Atwood fanatics will grab it before I can get it. All the boogers were gone when I noticed your message on the site last night :(

[Peter Atwood]

No, they aren't gone yet. I still haven't finished grinding them and making sheaths. Will have about a dozen done over the weekend I hope. Mostly with V notch but a couple of plain ones as well. And one experimental wharncliffe. No tantos this go round....

Wharncliffe???? Oh my god. The only thing I like better than wharncliffe style blades is Damascus Wharncliffe blades. Someday I will get my first Damascus. Tex, you are one lucky guy. Peter, is that Wharncliffe spoken for?

[Dawg]

No, they aren't gone yet. I still haven't finished grinding them and making sheaths. Will have about a dozen done over the weekend I hope. Mostly with V notch but a couple of plain ones as well. And one experimental wharncliffe. No tantos this go round....
Peter, I sent you a PM.

[Deaths Head]

Wharncliffe, my favorite blade type! The modified kind actually. The kind with a point.
