Real Pocketworn Knives

I love the look of the Real pocket work knives. I have too many knives in the rotation to get one naturally pocket worn. It must take over 20 years of constant carry to get the worn look of some the beauties in this thread.

Camillus 13 Swell-end jackknife. If you look closely at the blade end bolster you can see a very old repair, using some synthetic that has blended well with the dark bone.

Worn all over.

These are two I carry, no nickel silver or brass on these old soldiers; the covers just have a good start on pocket wear; the blades are a little farther along.

This 1980 '47,which somebody carried enough to get the blades almost black, has a shield stamp eroding from the bottom right.
Two pics because I couldn't decide.
