If possible I’d like to know who has carried or regularly used the same knife for the longest amount of time. Also just any pics of old/worn knives would be cool, I love seeing older knives that have actually been carried and used and depended on. Safe queens are nice and have their place but they don’t interest me as much as an old, pitted, worn-smooth knife with a thousand scratches and twice as many stories. Thanks!
 
This one I've owned for over 60 years. I don't carry it anymore, but it sits on my reloading bench and gets used very regularly.
I have viced the pivot a couple times in those six decades, and it's still a workhorse.

Very nice. It looks like you’ve taken care of it well. Probably why it’s lasted you as long as it has
 
One I have had the longest is a Stag handled AG Russell 20th Century Barlow. It is plenty pocket worn,

The oldest knife I carry regularly is a Winchester pen knife from the late 1920's or 1930's

I can't match black mamba black mamba Jeff's 60 years of use but I did buy this knife in 1961 and carried and used it everyday until 2001 when I retired . At that time I did some contract work for 3 more years and do not remember how much I carried it . It was carried all over the U.S.A. , some into Canada , some into the UK and some into Europe and also Uzbekistan for business. It may have also went with me to Australia & New Zealand ???It served me well and deserved to be retired when I did .

The Uncle Henry on top is one that I bought new over 50 years ago. It's been retired for a while, but it rode in my pocket every day for over 30 years. I have older knives that have probably seen more use, only not by me personally.

Ironbut, what is the serial number on the inside liner of that Walden? I have #30337, but it's a safe queen.
