Random Thought Thread

I’m even scared to imagine how much cardboard and reinforced rubber hose my SDFK has sliced through.

In our shop we constantly have to break down wooden pallets (or how the hell do you say that word properly 🤔).
SDFK is straight-up an extremely hardworking knife.

Right now the same job is being done by the Fat Bastard.
And both of these knives are being used by regular guys who work in our shop — they’re not “knife guys” at all.

Despite all that heavy use, the SDFK still looks damn good.

The funniest part is watching my 72-year-old grandpa fiddling with cardboard and tubes — he’s so tiny, and next to him the SDFK looks like a medium chopper 😅

Even the stonewash finish is still completely there.
Just some tiny little scratches.

Most likely from the fact that there’s a ton of staples hidden in the cardboard, and the tubing is the reinforced kind that we cut every single day — a whooole lot, like a really huge amount.

Used knives are interesting. The scars tell a story. New knives have yet to begin their journey.

Man, it’s exactly the same for me.
On top of that, each of these knives came to me at a really high cost — and I’m not talking about the money.
They traveled halfway across the world just to end up in my hands, and then, like this SDFK, they’ve cut through such an insane amount of material in my shop that it’s just… wow.

For me too, somehow the thing that holds the most value is exactly that — the sheer amount of work and the whole journey this knife has gone through together with me.
