Knives Are For Cutting Stuff...Do You Have Pictures To Prove It?

Thank you brother:thumbup:

GEC #57 halfwhitt.

Doing what I bought it for.

Not an action shot, but trust me, my modified (for carving) Cold Steel mini tuff lite has done work. Lots of work.

Some old SOG throwers earning their keep.

A blade doesn't always need to LOOK like it has been used. View attachment 361291View attachment 361292

These two blades have seen more daily use than most (one has cut perhaps 1000 feet of boards, about 500 golf balls, and countless rope cuts, the other sees lighter duty daily). However, both might be mistaken for safe queens because they are purpose built and do not show their age/use because they are not mistreated.

I could take one of my straights and pose it being hammered through some sticks, and it would look used and abused when I'm done...but what is the point of that?

CPM M-4 blade being used to relocate a jelly that washed up on the beach. This knife is also a daily user.

Hard to see, but that is the same competition blade posing in the first image mid-cut

Here is a local knife testing. A one kind of Thai E-nep , under a name of "Moradok Pho" ( Like the one in Big Mike's collections). It forged from a leaf spring truck and took care of a heat treating to be a good performance blade. It can use like an axe.

Thanks. It's a Harner custom 8/8 double spike wedge. Butch has some amazing abilities.

Truck leaf springs on that Mo Pho....now that's a different recycling concept. Nice stuff...

Is there anything wrong with that? We all like knives, so what's the difference if a 15 year old like me likes knives or a 40 year old likes knives?

Agreed.
Age means nothing. I'm fourteen, but of course that doesn't mean anything towards my knowledge or love of knives.

Maybe they think we're unknowledgeable on the subject or something.

Nah

I generally never think to snap pictures of my knife in the middle of using it, I'm usually too busy using it..
but I do have some pictures of my most used knife.

this guy needed some tlc this morning, he was well over due for some sharpening, and I also woke up to a nice speckling of rust because I got into a large fourth of July water balloon fight and he stayed wet all night. the rust took a whopping half minute or less to clean up, sharpening took a bit longer ;p

oh, and here's an after action shot of some cutting I did...

Not at all. My Son is 12 an afficianado with quite the collection in his own right. Do us a favor and educate your peers, will ya? I'll keep educating mine also. The problem is the older we get, the less open-minded we often become.

Don't you know that most knives in this site are for collecting dust?

Knives are made for cutting flesh not envelopes.

Here's some cardboard destruction.

Since you're not using those, you could lend them to me and I promise to give them lots of work to do.... as they say, working is good for a man (or knife).

Also, could you educate me on your collection? I am not a collector and have never seen some of those, and I'm a Spyderco fan.
