Benchmade Wear

Show us some knives with wear.

Here is what one knife looks like after 13 years. I wanted to trade him out of it, but didn't have the heart.

Wow! Original spring?

Doesn't even look like a tanto anymore. I like it, lots of battle scars and character.

Now that's impressive. Definition of a true user.

He had the spring replaced once and a new clip.

One of the guys I work with has an old 9050 that has been rode very hard, and it shows it. It needs a new spring, but he won't take the time to send it in..
He does the same thing with his vehicles though. He drives them hard, and when they finally quit working, he parks it out by the barn, and starts driving something else. I need to get a picture of it... The knife, not the barn

That knife is awesome! I'd take that over a new one any day.

My 810 has been used hard for a few years. Hard to see wear on g10, but it's got plenty of shiny spots and it's not nearly as grippy as when it was new which suits me fine.

This is was my second Benchmade. Had her about 5 or 6 years. Tip broke off awhile back. Tried to regrind it using a Sharpmaker with the line in the stones.

Normal wear & tear, vs like new.
