Life's too short.

I carry a traditional most days, usually something from Gene Shadley. Gene can always give it a spa treatment if I bugger it up. If I need something more stout it's a Sebbie or my new Koenig.

Just got this, its my EDC right now

As usual Dave Ferry's knife/life is beautiful. Don't have one yet. My most expensive knife I use is a Winkler Belt Knife in 80CRV2 after I convexed the edge. That is maybe the sharpest knife I own, and beautiful, with tribal maple scales. I can look at at arm hair with it in my hand and it will split. For EDC, either my ZT0566 in M390 or ZT0770 in M4.

CRK,Hinderer,Rockstead Higo,Wilkins Leafstorm Custom...

 

[Banter 247]

Ray Laconico EZC custom. I put it in use as soon as I got it.

 

[hhmoore]

Modern folders - Southard Tolk, Hinderer XM18, WC small 21, CRK large micarta inkosi, etc.
Traditional - I've got a custom, black pearl with ornamental bolsters, that I bought 20 yrs (or so) ago.
Fixed - probably my Busse Urban Grudge, tan/black on satin, even if I don't count the sheath. I also have a few MBBs that get used; but I don't carry them (they get beat hard when they come out; but it's not all that often)

 

[Stumpy]

I actually use this one. It is from around 2007 and is marked # 24 and signed by Scott.

My Rockstead next to an identical new one at Bladeshow today.

I may disassemble it and give it an ultrasonic bath tonight and take another pic tom. looks like twin sisters and one went on a yearlong bender

mirror polished blade is so sexy. But so hard to maintain.

I wouldn’t call this hard use, but I actually do use it. It sliced the apple, too.

You have to be a man and lick any leftover PB off the blade

Expensive users go well with cheap beer

[KooDeRR Whistle]

Carried an Emerson cqc 12 for a long time, was like $500 new if i remember correctly.

 

[Weiss]

Right now that would be a Microtech Cypher.

 

[FullMetalJackass]

One of my latest, and he is seeing a lot of field and house use.
I don't think you can actually wear it out. It redefined my vision of “built like a tank” , and I do like them chunky

 

[1AbominAble1]

I don’t think I have a user that isn’t expensive.
I rotate between a CRK large CF Inkosi #100
A CRK Large CF 21 Insingo
A CRK Tanto Umnumzaan
A CRK Small Damascus 21
A 25th Anniversary CRKT Homefront
A Microtech OD LUDT
A Microtech OD Ultratech
A Microtech OF Stitch

Oh
A Benchmade Bugout, in custom scales. That’s the cheapest one I carry and USE.

I’ve sold all but two of the safe queens so if I own it, I use it.

 

[Jcsixx01]

I have a tendency to keep a mint blade mint. Which is why I don’t mind purchasing users because then I will actually use them.

I have a Nirvana and Slysz Bowie that are users.
