Pictures of your most worked and beat up knives

[tuffthumbz]

Lets see your dirtiest most beat up knife..

 

[BryFry]

I'm guilty of beating my cheap knives harder than my nice expensive ones.

I'm trying to change that, but here are a couple cheapies that have taken a licken and kept on ticken...

My rc3 is my heavy user.

I only have a couple User knives, and they're in very good condition, so not much to see there. I never "beat up" my knives either.

Here are a couple that were used for many years before I received them. The first is a Pal Cutlery from my grandfather, and the second was my dad's Western folding hunter:

Here are some old pictures. It's a little cleaned up now:

Here's another user:

Don't have any pics of my Leatherman Wave, but that's one that I'm comfortable abusing.

Four years and going. I flamed the liners and clip. It is now a regular LAWKS. Still smooth and I keep it sharp.

I don't "beat up" my knives either, but this old Scout knife has been used for several generations, and it's still goin' strong.

Kershaw Cyclone.

Benchmade Pinnacle 750. I post this picture a lot.

My Scrapyard Dogfather is probably my most used knife.

Endura Wave. Pepper jack cheese residue on the blade. This knife cuts everything. Hose, cheese, zip ties, cardboard, packing tape, rope, cloth. This knife and a sharpmaker would easily satisfy the needs of 99% of average work-a-day folks. The other 1% aren't gonna be happy with anything less than a 4000 dollar custom with Ivory scales and 512 layer damascus. But for folks that like to cut, dig, pry, peel, prune, and scrape with their EDC knife....This un will get er done!

Well, it's somewhat clean and I wouldn't really say it's beat up but it has seen it's fair share of use over the years.

It looks worse in person, since the photos don't really catch the wear on the corners/spine.

 

[ArtinNC]

It's had a hard life. I made it in 1992.

 

[C.S. Graves]

The one on the left - a Valiant Trading Company parang bandol I now call "Snaggletooth":

I carelessly chopped with the delicate upper portion of the blade instead of the more robust middle portion, and had to reprofile a chipped-out area:

(Parang often have different areas of the edge sharpened with different profiles each suited to a different sort of task. Live and learn!)

Beautiful :thumbup:

 

[babakanoosh45]

My CGFBM has done it's fair share of work for me.

 

[Psychopomp]

RTAK

Benchmade 710 that's lived a long life.

Neither are "beat up" but both are well used and still very sharp and very functional.

I don't abuse my knives, but I don't pamper them either.

 

[TWBryan]

Pstchopomp,love the 710,it's edc for me.
