Blue collar users?

My buddy runs a construction company and always has his Zaan! I help him out on occasion and always have my Seb, ha.
 
I am self employed and have a window cleaning business, and do some other oddball exterior cleaning and maintenance tasks from time to time. Work-day EDC is a large plain jane Insingo. She's starting to patina and I love her more every day.
 
I teach automotive and Fabrication/ Welding and I carry an insingo daily. Use it for everything. I've been eyeing a large Inkosi though.
 


This pic is a few years old. it's looking a bit more used these days, weld spatter on the scales and everything (it was in my pocket at the time, but that s**t gets everywhere)
 
I'm a helicopter pilot and carry my Inkosi every day, it doesn't get used much for that type of work though. :)
 
Electrician here, use my Large 25 (1st batch) everyday, sometimes I will carry my s35vn large P but 95% of the time the 25 gets carried and used.

I've used this 25 for over 4 years with daily carry now, just got done replacing an old panel yesterday, which is why it's covered in old rubber nm cable, haven't cleaned it up yet.






There are some other in-use pictures over at these links.

I love the pocket buffed sheen on that 25! Man, that is one good looking user.
 
I use my CRK 25 daily, here lately I also edc my 21..but I tend too think twice before any hard use with my wood inlaid 21. I'm a training operator in a plant,but can't use a Camara so a home pic is all I have.
My uses include cutting conveyor belts,fiberglass bands,fiberglass screen,extremely bad on a blade! But I. A firm believer in a knife is an extension of the hand,I use a CRK because it's a blade that will not fail!

Own a painting & mold remediation company. When I'm out and about doing estimates I always have a small micarta insingo with me. When I'm painting or doing remediation I use my super blue delica

Before I got injured at work I did carry my large carbon fiber Sebenza 21. I'm an auto technician by mistake. I actually in computer hardware and software repair but since no jobs were turning up I decided to apply as an oil "technician" at a local garage to make money in the bean time since I enjoy working with my hands and my second hobby besides knife collecting is... tool collecting! And photography, but that's for a different day. Anyways, the job was more change oil and clean up while the other techs worked on vehicles (I didn't realize it at the time but it was a place where if you started in a low position they kept you there). I carried the Sebenza and used it in everything from cutting rags to cutting radiator hose (at the second shop I worked in I started as a tech, my first day on the job I was doing a water pump and wished I had my Sebenza on me to help clean up the RTV from the old one) and everything in-between. I didn't carry a knife much working as the head bicycle technician at a local shop, not much to cut. The only other job I carry a knife on is computer repair, usually a Victorinox SwissChamp or a Leatherman Charge TTI. They're users and I've found no reason to baby mine. After the first scratch and then a bent clip three times, I the caution to the wind and used it. The only gripe I have is I wish they put a V grind and not a partial convex edge for ease of sharpening.
 
I am an Electrician, but the last knife I would use on the job would be a folder like my CRK.
Maybe for opening packages, but as far as using my knife as a tool I need something that gives me much finer control.

Think 1 inch blade 4 inch handle....
