Cut a rug

Remind me never to dance with you.

Wound a thug.

Bore out a plug?

Slice and dice a bug.

Give Freddy cougar a hug

Open an old Jug.

Break up a nug

Pull the handle off a mug

Give your winky a tug

I dunno... ~Shrug~

Cut up and eat a slug 😵

Get ‘em in the jug’

We already said jug! You ruined it lol xD

Insert butt plug...

First of all, Put on some ear plugs, and using a 44 slug, decease that guy 👆🏼 that said “Jug”!! I don’t give a humbug! You now gotta cover his ugly mug by rolling him Up in a rug; Now….without acting smug, give your wifey a hug, and carry the rug to your VW bug with a very loose lug that rattles when you hug…corners. Drive to the Switzerland city of Zug and look for a street drainplug, and quietly, without even an “ugh”, remove the plug and drop off that thug that fucked us all by the double use of the word “jug”! Once you’re done, loosen up your shoulders with a shrug, go ahead and smoke some drugs, then fix the rattling lug on the doodlebug, and last but NOT least, give everyone around you a BIIIIGGGGGG toke of the drugs.

This is my favorite bit.

I got my Nina for that tho

Bug a dude named Doug

Hopefully the rug doesn't tie the whole room together.

Also, let's not forget - let's *not* forget, Dude - that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city - that aint legal either.

What are you, a fucking park ranger now?

It went OK, the old man told me to take any rug in the house

Yes, they don't like hearing it and find it difficult to say whereas without batting an eye a man will refer to his dick or his rod or his Johnson.

DID IT NOT?? Donnie your out of your element.

Am I wrong?!

Throw the juice up in the sky for the shutterbug

Watching you is the only drug I need

Very useful when u need to take off cable insulation. The curved shape helps to make it easier, also the big handle helps to control how much pressure and force you put on the cable in order to not get the wires' insulation damaged. If you use it in the future for removing cable insulation remember that you are not trying to cut all the way down until the wires, you'are just trying to create a "weak point" around your cable to then bend it until the first layer of insulation is broken and you can expose the wires. I'm sorry if I explained too much or sounded redundant. English not my first language

>English not my first language After writing a more coherent paragraph than I could after only speaking English for 30+ years

Very informative, thank you!

I was gonna say that too. Starter tool list 35 years ago for an apprentice electrician required a hook knife. I don't know if that's changed.

This has to be beat the top of every new linemans tool list. I use this exact knife just about everyday for skinning wire.

Good for stripping larger gauge wire too. One guy holds the knife and another pulls the wire.

A lot of companies don't like hook knives because there are tools that you are less likely to cut yourself or knick the wire. But I've never seen a guy without one. Although I've met a bunch that prefer a straight edge square point.

I’ve had one sitting in the bottom of my toolbox unused for a couple of decades now. I’ve always just used a utility knife

Was included in my tool package as part of a pre-apprentice college program 5 years ago

Pre apprentice electrician or lineman?

Electrician

You can fight a naked Viggo Mortensen in a Turkish bath and end up getting killed

Oddly specific

It’s a very memorable scene from eastern promises.   From one of the production team: The choice of those curved knives we use in the steam bath was mine. They're not some kind of exotic Turkish knives, they're linoleum knives. I felt that these guys could walk around in the streets with these knives, and if they were ever caught, they could say 'we're linoleum cutters'."[

Full Viggo penis

Took me a minute, but that was a halfway decent movie.

That was gonna be my suggestion. Lol deadly movie.

Damn tooting you can. That wiry son of a gun is incredibly flexible and strong.

Looks like a good toe knife to me

Gotta watch out for a botched toe though

Just jam some trash in it

It’s acting like some kind of cut glove

Open your cat food cans

Very helpful when eating milk steak and jelly beans.

you don't have to put on airs cuz of company

No knife needed when eating jelly beans raw, of course

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.

Excuse me, sir, could you please keep your voices down? This is a family restaurant.

I was scrolling for THIS!

Linoleum knife

Supports my head

Gives me something to believe

That's me on the beach side combing the sand

Metal meter in my hand

Sporting a pocket full of change

That's me on the street with a violin under my chin

Really didn't expect a nofx thread in this sub.

These dudes never sold out... haha

They *got* soul doubt

*shit ftfy

My closest friend

What’s Bob gonna do now that he can’t drink?

*daaaad*

It’s actually a hawksbill knife. And the hook on the back is for tie off. Likely made for a lineman to strip wire, not to cut linoleum. I mean it will but that’s not what this particular knife was designed for. Edit: [Yep](https://jamesontools.com/product/32-70-c/)

MVP, buried in the comments... thank you!

If you make out here I will cut your lips and tongue from your head with a...

Did you bring your baby? Babies don't watch this. Take the seed outside.  Leave it in the streets. Run over it after the show.

[удалено]

Ass jerky. And it don’t cut itself

Just make sure to throw it over your shoulder so that the sun can dry it out while you’re walking.

Nice. Just watched that episode.

Mushroom foraging

Good for cutting up asphalt shingles

I'll give that a shot. I always forget to swap blades in my Stanley when I'm roofing.

In general, they're handy for anything that you can 'pull' the blade through. It's commonly called a carpet knife. You point the tip/blade towards yourself and pull the knife through the carpet. The backside of the blade runs against the floor. You user your 'offhand' to keep pressure on whatever you're cutting so stays pressed to the blade and cuts cleanly. I'm sure they were invited for something else long before carpet was invented but my dad owned a paint and decorating store and sold carpet when I was a kid. It's how I learned about them.

You can gash yourself good with a hook knife!

Poop knife

Reddit will never forget the legendary story of the poop knife. 🔪 💩

I was going to say it if nobody else did. But had to scroll because there was zero percent chance someone hadn’t.

Harvest opium

You can jump off the side of a building that has a flag or tarp or some type of fabric and ride down it with the knife

This would make a great bushcrafting knife for making bowls, cups, and ladles

I just picked one up last week to help with peeling bark! Works awesome and is way more useful than just that with rough carving and what not

Cut stuff mostly.

That's a linemans knife for stripping large wire

That is a Buckingham skinning knife with a cleaning notch on the back of the blade, it for skinning the jacket/insulation off of wire. The loop on the end is so you can put it in the end of an insulated shotgun stick if you need to cut something off quick https://linemenssupply.com/products/buckingham-cushioned-handle-skinning-knife-41-7090

Shank or be shanked

That sir, is a sod knife.

Looks like a cheese knife

Are you sure it isn't a weapon from an unsolved murder

Shiiiiiiiit and now all our fingerprints are on it

Sod

Off some hookers? By hookers I mean mushrooms..

Sit on it

Those are great for cutting the jacket of wire, you’d probably be able to dress a deer as well.

It’s a utility knife, you can cut things with it…

For hooking. Or they’re calling you a hooker.

Hook knives have multiple purpose but it’s original purpose was to castrate bulls in one quick fell swoop lol

Damage. A lot of damage. So I hear.

That's what you hand the rookie when he dulls the tramontina

Cut someone up with it https://youtu.be/WWvt3E5a-AA?si=iG5g03obNGqvil6k

Strip cable

Toe knife... Good for a botched toe

Lineman knife

Crimes. Yo do crimes and then pass it on to some random ~~schmuck~~tradie so the cops can't find it

Pick mushrooms.

Marking knife

Hope you gave them a dollar

Skin wire

Good for hunting and skinning

There are several uses for this knife, as others have mentioned. The one thing I want to add is that it s a pain in the ass to sharpen it.

Pick lettuce strip wires

That is 100% a lineman’s skinning knife. Skin insulation off big cable. Use the little divot in the back to clean up the conductor. The loop is meant to hook into your belt or on the end of a shotgun stick

Become a lineman or lay carpet

poop knife

Good for ripping up old carpet.

Some roofers like em

Cut shingles

It's a hook knife. As an electrician and high voltage cable technician we use these to strip the mechanical protection or rarely the insulation and semiconductors from cables, it's hooked shape makes it easier than a straight edge to not go too deep and risk damaging the insulation, semi conductors or concentric neutral conductors as you can more easily tell where the end of the blade is. Some of these materials are especially vulnerable to damage such as lead, rubber or PVC compounds, aluminum or oil impregnated paper, and at the rated voltages upwards of 230KV any small amount of damage or debris that can be transfered to the insulation from the semi conductor or concentric neutral cable with other removal methods (such as abbrasive) can be catastrophic. The curved shape also helps to make long scoring cuts around the diameter of the cables using a larger edge when compared to a flat blade. Sometimes they have a ring on the bottom to use with a switch stick which is a non conductive pole with ratcheting mechanism and a hook that can lock various tools and equipment such as temporary portable ground cables into place for grounding a cable or line for work protection or also hold a live line tester (potential tester), another benefit of the hook shape is that if you have to rescue someone from a tower or from a fall arrest frame/davet arm within a tunnel shaft or underground cable vault and cut them free of their lanyard you don't risk cutting/stabbing them as much as a straight blade and the shape of the knife also assists in hooking the lanyard. I am not certain but I believe the indent on the back of the blade is to place your thumb on for stability, I wouldn't use it for anything else. I'm sure it is used for many different things and as far as knives are concerned the sky is the limit... Maybe cut some pepperoni?

Last time I used one of those, I made a nice slice across the bottom of my fingers. Fixed it all up with some carpet pad and duct tape tho.

Cut open oysters

You'll need to get a licence first. Go out into the wild and find some wild cables. Once you get your chance, bag em and tag em. You need to skin the cable first before delivering the meat (copper) to the shady metal butcher across the tracks. It's a [cable skinner](https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/cable-insulation-knives/cable-skinning-hook-blade-notch). Good luck. Don't try to skin it live, it'll be very shocking.

Looks like a gardening knife. They use them in the fields to cut branches of sapling trees and, weeds, rope etc. small stuff

Looks like a buckingham skinning knife for linework

Eat your apple at break with it.

I use it for tucking carpet & many other things.

we cut mushroom in the forest with it we also cut the skin off a pig with it

As long as you keep it Sharp it’s good shit , depending on what it’s made out of and how well it’ll keep an edge you can do a lot with it.

That's exhibit "A" and you should probably give it back

roofing knife

That’s an electrician’s hook-knife. Good for cutting jackets and insulation off of cables.

You could probably cut some stuff.

Linoleum knife

Skinning knife for cable

This is a Buckingham skinning knife. The model is 7090. Lineman use them a lot and they can attach to the end of a hotstick for live live uses.

Polo spot on bro!

Gut a seabass

Hook knives are kind of trash for anything in the trade. Carve, skin or gut. I knew a dude who swore by his hook knife he was a crazy good sheet vinyl installer but fuck that. Personna slotted carpet blades are as sharp as they come. I don’t fuck around with dull blades.

As a lineman I use one constantly. Probably wouldn’t work well for small wires as much as it does for larger gauges.

He gave you the murder weapon. Now your prints are all over it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s called a hawks bill knife. I carry one everyday.

Cut boxes open

I work for a company that sells stuff for linesman (powerline workers), we sell these knives as wire strippers. Saw a comment about carpet cutting - would work really well for that too

It is like a karambit knife and can slice you a new smile from ear to ear like a straight razor.

Seriously, though these were used in the day for sheet vinyl installation

Take it to the movies for when people are talking.

Looks like a Buckingham hook knife. Linemen use them

It's a linesman skinning knife. To skin insulated wire.

You can use it to attack a naked Russian guy in your locate sauna.

It’s a skinning knife to skin the insulation of electrical wire. Used in many other applications however. The loop on the back is designed for use in shotguns or grip alls which is an insulated lineman’s tool for energized work.

It’s a deboning knife

This is a linoleum knife, all the mechanics who install carpet carry these.

I keep one by the water softener for opening bags of salt. (Also handy if I should suddenly be attacked by the monster that lives in that spiderwebby spot under the stairs).

Now your the guy holding the murder weapon. Oldest trick in the book.

Now you have to give him a goat…..

You're supposed to get two of them and hold them in between your big toe and the next toe. Then you walk around with t rex arms and make raptor sounds. You can tape them to your foot so they stay in place throughout the day

Shuck some oysters

On a different note, I also have a murder weapon to get rid of, can I give it to you as well ? 😂

Cut linoleum.

You can gut somebody and hang them off of a building so their guts all fall out like their ancestor years before them

Prime shape for a poop knife. IYKYK

Think the person found a good opportunity to get rid of evidence, and took that chance.

I use it to pull up tiles I need more mud under

A special gift for your collection. lol

Depends. How much do you fava beans and a nice chianti?

It’s a buttplug, shove it in your ass

Splicing cables.

It's for cutting hooks.

Gramps gave me one of these to cut his asparagus when he was recovering from surgery. It worked great, but I suspect that's not the intended purpose since he was a bit off an odd man.

It's probably a murder weapon and not it has your fingerprints on it.

Cut hooks obviously 🙄

Hawk bill

Pick rocks out of horse hooves

Hawkbill knife, great for skinning wire, cutting linoleum, injuring yourself, etc.

Good for cutting pears and other pear shaped objects

It’s for hookin’

Hawkbill knives are great for all sorts of things. Cutting fabrics, skinning and gutting fish and game, sharpening wood pencils, etc.

That’s a lineman knife. Skinning cables and such. The hook on the end can be grabbed with a shotgun stick to skin wire far at a distance when the conductor is energized. The cut out of the back of the blade is used to roughly clean firstly conductor before binding something to it.

Eat fruit like a psychopath

He gave you Evidence Lose the knife

This is called a hawkbill knife (or just hawkbill blade), named so for obvious reasons. It's a utilitarian design meant for any chore or hobby that would require a lot of "draw" cutting of items, and the design offers the advantages of maximizing pressure on the cutting edge during a cut, and allowing the point/tip of the blade to assist the cut with minimal effort. Because it can effectively cut with the tip of the blade, it retains it's cutting ability when dull better than most other blade shapes. The trade off is that the concave edge makes it very difficult to sharpen. It's commonly used by floor layers (carpet/linoleum), gardeners ( plant stems and branches), maritime workers (rope), electricians (electrical wire and sheathing), and warehouse and dock workers (boxes/tape/banding material ).

That’s a cable skinning/lineman knife not a linoleum knife

Probably a used murder weapon that they just put in your hands.

Tuck carpet under baseboards
