Has anyone abused their EDC?

I know this is an awesome knife for the $$$. I really like mine in 154CM but haven't put it through its paces. I am curious as to wat kind of abuse it will take though. I know many of you really (ab)use your knives. What is the harshest thing you have submitted your EDC to?

I've used an AFCK to open a coffee can at work once. Couldn't find anything else. Ruined the edge and blade coating, but it sharpened up easy enough. Also used the same knife to cut a section from a plastic 55 gal. drum. Gave it away to a friend recently.

I was in the woods, and my 154CM EDC was all I had. I needed the cedar sapling for walking stick, so I chopped it down.

The worst I have done is to dig up the root ball of a small black locust, carve it into rough shape, chop off the top and use it for a walking stick with my talonite EDC. The dirt was really hard on the edge but no damage at all . . . still solid as a rock.

Recently I had just put a real nice 20 degree edge on my Military. Then I cut some steel netting with it for want of a more suitable tool. Usually it can handle whatever I throw at it but this time the edge chipped pretty badly along its entire length. Cost me more than an hour with the Lansky this little spot of carelessness. I seldom abuse my knives, but I have otherwise been so impressed with the edge holding of the military, that I thought it could cut almost anything.
