Seen alot of nice high end folders over in the exchange, but most seem to be safe queens. I'm looking to see some high end users. Let's say $500+ range folders. Don't care what people make, or what they spend, or how it's justified. I just want to see someone actually not concerned about using them, not just for letter opening. Pictures please, and original value of piece.

Don't have any folders that cost nearly that much, but I do have one fixed blade that was in the ballpark. I use it often and hope to never have to part with it.

Here it is new or very newish:




And here it is as of 5 minutes ago:



Great knife that was built to perform and does.

Well since the OP specifically mentioned folders, I will post this one. I use it all the time, but if it doesn't look like it, it may be because the steel is CPM-154.

Well I guess there is at least two high end user folders. Great looking too. Glad to see they aren't just sitting around.

Sorry I just saw the folder part. I will post some pics of my Hinderers in action when I get an extra minute. My bad!
 
Just picked up this CRK Lg Inkosi CF for 485 a few weeks ago and started carrying it a week ago. Gonna use and abuse the s*** out of it :D







already getting it in the dirt and straightening copper wires on the cf

 
I rotate them throughout the week. I also refinish them as needed.

Left to right $650, $750, $780, $780, $500, $500
 
Jason Guthrie makes some awesome looking folders. Nice rotation you've got!

What's your favorite J.G. out of the trio? (More handle material wise than blade shape)
