LETS SEE YOUR EVERY DAY BEATER KNIFE

[Goose 7279]

Can't really see the wear on the blade but it's in my pocket almost constantly. Even had a little rust on the butterfly because I've been cleaning up the yard and sweating something awful (thanks Mississippi). Just cleaned her up, flattened the washers, and got the action perfect.

I should show my 562cf too, it's been used a lot.

Not really a beater, but it gets used alot.

That one is pretty cool. I carry a slipjoint as well. It is actually over a 100 years old and is tight as a drum but blades are worn.

I've got one that's about 100 years old and the blades are nice and full but it has little snap left so I don't carry it much.

Here’s another from a few years ago...thinks it’s on an older “hard use” thread...

Pro dope dries up so quickly. I use mega-loc now and it lasts forever.

Stonewash hides scratches well.

I like MegaLoc for most water applications, but I stick to Pro Dope when steam fitting. RealTuff is good too, but doesn’t clean up as good as MegaLoc or Pro Dope

This D2 rat2 has opened every box and package that has come to my house during the pandemic period (and there have been a lot). I cleaned it a few days ago and it got dirty again...

My M2 Ritter Grip I bought in 07. This one has been through a pot full of remodel
and landscaping jobs over the last 13 years.

I have a H! Spyderco that has been in the washer probably over 200x that even the black handle turned green (probably from the heat dry cycle).

Still the knife is tight with no play and is great.

Can ya hear me now? Good.

I cringed until I saw you took the battery out.

I cringed until I saw you took the battery out.

Yessir, safety first.

I’ve seen enough battery fire videos to know it would be a supremely bad idea to leave it in.

Awesome pic there Dcdavis!

The way they are built this is exactly how they are supposed to be used for. Love to see this kinda pic
