The beauty is ruined. It's the only thing I care about with knives. I live a very physically easy life. I never need a knife. I collect knives as pocket jewelry, not tools.

This Combat Troodon was pristine. Not a mark on it. Had to carry it while my other one was at the mothership.

My family was on a trip, son riding shotgun. He wanted to look at it so I had it sitting on my leg after he gave it back to me. We had a tire partially alligator skin, so we got out to see which one…. Of course I hear a thump of something bouncing off the door, and a clatter of something hitting and skidding on asphalt.😩🤬

Picked the damn thing up off the road full of “goober marks”. Oh well, nicest beater I’ll ever own at this point.









 
Battle wounds is why I passed on the fluted titanium Native and Military from Spyderco. I could envision myself dropping it on concrete and being endlessly disappointed with myself. What’s weird is that I would not have the same concern with aftermarket fluted titanium scales.
 
Seems the more worn knives are admirable while the beauties with a single gruesome gouge make me shiver. But these are all really nice knives, comrades!
 
Use a knife long enough
No matter how careful
It'll get dinged up propper.
The only way to take the absolutely best care of a knife---
Is to not even own it, that way;
You can't possibly do anything risqué with it
 
i like things perfect,but there is nothing perfect.so i let it go to make myself easy.
i appreciate wounds on blade,that’s the mark of royalty,acompany,and service.
 
I really enjoy buying a new knife.......
Then I use the heck out of it and it becomes an old trustworthy tool.
When it is worn out.......
I GET TO BUY A NEW KNIFE !!!!!
 
I used this Spyderco Salt a lot around the Submarine and it never showed a bit of rust or corrosion. I maintained it well and kept it very sharp. It was my most used knife on that job; I gave it to one of my crew mates when I retired.

These were my most used folders on diving jobs and around the Submarine.
