Designated "beater" knife?

My favorite beater is still my Cold Steel large fs clip point Voyager.

The EKA Swede 92 (aka Normark American Hunter).

An old mini AFCK that's had the tip snapped off and generally looks like someone tossed it out of a car at highway speeds. Gets used for stuff that knives shouldn't be used for.

My first "good" knife has become my beater, a Spyderco Delica. I will never go out fishing with my Benza after some of the stories I have heard of people losing them.

Indestructible. Sharpens easily. Gets used for tasks that would make grown men groan. Wouldn't give a rat's arse if it fell out of the boat. That a beater?

Just for reference, folks, that's an 8 pound smallmouth bass

Betcha didn't realize those Striders were that big, didja?

My Main EDC beater is a Spyderco Rescue Jr with stainless handle. Nothing can stop this thing!

In a fixed blade its got to be my CS SRK (one of their seconds) which I have literally beaten through things. Another fixed blade beater is my Mora2000, but while I don't care what happens to it, its a little light for really abusive chores.

In a folder, it would have to be my CRKT Mirage with wharncliff blade. Can't pry with it, but I have cut roofing paper and carpet with it.

As for the Benza, I'm not really afraid of doing anything particularly to it, though I note I didn't take it along when I <i>knew</i> I was going to be cutting roofing paper and carpet. But while I don't mind using it hard, I do fear loosing it
