I wanna see some "Hard Use Folder Pics"

[bobnery]

I have come to the realization that when I want a hard use knife I turn to one of my fixed blades for a few reasons. One they are stronger, two cleaning is easier, three they are more ergo for the hand (at least mine are) So lets see some pics of some Striders and or ZTs, Hinderers, etc. being used hard. There is an Um review over in the CRK forum I think that the OP puts the Um to work doing some things I prob would not do every day with the Um, so lets see some pics of your "Hard Use Folder" being used hard!

I'm surprised that the S30V will even hold up to the carbides present in the home made bread.

My sebenza is also used for this terrible task.

Is that covered under warranty, or is that considered "abuse"?

Last loaf of bread I made was certainly pretty tough... started to wonder whether I should take it down to the CNC shop and have some blades cut from it.

What a bad ass hard use folder this one is.

That one's still got boogers smeared all over the blade!

I don't consider it a hard use folder until its been used hard.

:thumbup:

This is about the hardest thing I have done with a folder and some scraping, light batoning etc. It has held up great, I do feel hard use is a personal preference. anything harder then that I would use the appropriate tool or fixed blade.

He asked for hard users not display knives. Here is one of mine that gets the crap beat out of it. A Mission MPF-3 http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7250095&postcount=11

Here is my EKA Swede 60 which I've used a lot around the farm.

My Benchmade 750 has seen some hard use, including digging a hole to poop in!

Depends on whether it's whole grain or not.



My folders don't get any rougher use than cutting thick cardboard. I enjoy using my sheath knives too much to leave much hard work for my folders.

Where is the serrated bread knife, you used to cut that up?


There is no way, the thick bladed Strider cut that type of bread without mushing it, I have owned Striders(yes I bought into the hype also) and they don't cut cardboard well, let alone soft bread.
