So many pictures of "EDC" knives on her look like they just came out of the box.

What's up with that?
 
How about this one. Is it sharp yet?

This does show you the durability of the birch bark handle though!

I wish i had pics of the back sides of both those knives. The benchmade ascent was used to cut open a container of battery acid for my dads motorcycle i was filling, so it stripped the coating right off. Used it to cut the top off a superglue container too. That knife got used for years. Then it was a combo of the buck bucktool and the crkt m16-03. I loved that knife. I ended up breaking the chain on a buddies bike one night in the pitch black (he knew it was broken but was too drunk to tell me) and ended up eating it on the road, the crkt ended up scraping across the ground with me, lost a little aluminum off the handle and two of the clip screws got worn down, but it functions fine and the screws are still usable. The bucktool i beat the crap out of for years and it eventually flopped open and the handles clacked together when squeezed.

Regarding the birch bark handle above: Not mine I am afraid. I grabbed it off a really cool website all in Norwegian. A Norwegian knife enthusiast seems to have gone to museums and all kinds of places and collected photos and or knives and put them on his website. The only word on the whole thing that I can read is "kniven" which means...well you guess. This picture was on there.

I do know that these "gentleman's knives" were heirlooms and judging by the condition of the handle, I'd guess the thing was passed down from Grandfather to grandson etc. Love that handle.
