Most abused knife that you still carry occasionally

[EricT64]

Show off your most abused knife that you still carry occasionally.
This poor little Buck Colt was purchased in 91 and has been abused since. When I used to be an automotive Tech, I carried it daily. It's been lost several times, used it as a pry too, screwdriver, sharpened on a shop grinder, and I obliterated the sheepfoot and spey blades starting my old beater back in 92 by jumping the starter solenoid. I still put it in my pocket anytime I will be working on anything.

I carried this CRKT a couple and then gave it to one of my truck drivers about 5 years ago.
A couple months ago he said he lost a screw and it wouldn’t stay together anymore, so I told him I’d look at it.
He’s carried it every day since.

I wouldn't say abused but both of these have each been carried for almost 10 years. The PM was fresh from Spyderco and I snapped the tip long ago. The BM was my first "real" knife purchase back in 2003.

That had definitely been through the wringer.

Fortunately for my "premium knives" I didn't start collecting until a few years ago and so far, have only chipped a few blades. Back in 91, that Buck Colt was a premium knife to me.

These days, if I need a tool for anything but cutting, I will only consider using a knife as a last resort. Still managed to chip a few edges though.

My first branded folding knife. Purchased in 2007. The blade has already lost 2-3 mm in width. Its length is now 83 mm. The knife is in perfect condition and does the job.
