What's the most beat-up blade still in your EDC rotation? My SAK Explorer went from a spearpoint to a tanto on a 5 dollar diamond stone I got at Wal Mart :rolleyes:

Feel free to post pictures :D
 
My Gerber LST takes the damage while my SAK sits. I have removed atleast 10grams of metal, trying to sharpen it
 
I was out fishing one day with my wife. She found a pretty beat up little Gator Gerber folder in the bushes.

I was thrilled as hell. The clip was all bent and the blade looked like it had been sharpened with a piece of granite.

Well, I bent the clip to true and sharpened the blade up. I did things to this knife that would make you all cringe. Dug out grout, cut up boxes, threw it, there was even grit in the action etc, etc.

After just a little while the clip bent again and I immediately knew how the first person lost it.

If you ask me, the steel used on Gerber clips is not hardened enough.

Long story short I cleaned it up and sold it to some goober at a yard sale for 15 bucks. Said he wanted a beater and I had just the thing. :D
 
My old BM AFCK none of the screws match, one has a nut on it, the one piece plastic spacer has been replaced with 3 aluminum spacers I made.

All in all it's pretty beat up, I was even considering sending it back to BM, we'll see.
