I have this one large knife, what in my area they call a "Corn knife". Cannot count the deer trails, and ground blinds it is responsible for. It looks like crap, but is a hard worker. Spring steel from Austria. Sharp as a razor as my thumb will attest to as I tried to re-sheath to quickly today.

Show us your workers, the uglier the better.
 
One of mine..$5 gas station crapper.


Also starting to use my lightning OTF around the house hard to see what it can put up with.

 
Here is a broken and re-profiled corn knife with a homemade wooden sheath which has done a lot of yard work.

 
welp buddy my one that gets the most use is my smith and wesson hrt but cant say its a crapper because its pretty nice in my ole humble opinion cant want anything more from a knife that I can think. so it must be pretty good! i guess my old beater crapper must be my knife from the wal store that was a 1 dollar but even it is pretty good. cant complain. thanks buddy have a nice day :thumbup:
 
This one gets used all the time.

It used to be an old broken tipped 16" chef's knife that my dad brought back from the Army when they fazed out wood and carbon steel.
It may not be much to look at, but it takes and holds a great edge
 
The buck 279-1 was my first "real" knife, nearly half my lifetime ago. The rubber grips finally started to deteriorate and I just removed them this year. Slims it down quite a bit and even shows a pretty nice light stonewashed handle. Love that blade so much. I work on a farm and when working I always carry the 5400 and if someone else is in need of a blade I lend them the Buck for the day. Sometimes for the weekend if I take their knife home to sharpen. So fun to wrist flick.

Here's a crapper for you. I keep it around for when we go camping and my nephew needs a knife. If he tears it up, or losses it, who cares. I'm sure my grandchildren will use it one day when they're old enough. Comes complete with built in compass and everything! Haha

These two are the ones I have beat up the most. I'm not for sure what kind of coating is on the blade of the Kershaw but it has held up unbelievably well.

When you decide to beat the snot out of an inexpensive knife it is surprising what they will take and keep on tickin'.

Safety first. That being said, I used this hard for years. Hitting the spine with a lead hammer to cut plastic everyday. (with heavy leather gloves)

Had to sharpen a lot obviously so the blade is a little used up. Knife is functional and a lot of use would be an understatement.
 
Here's my crapper reground Enlan. Gets a lot of use considering the number of alternatives I have available, but it just cuts so well now...

Looks like this re-purposed one get some good use. I like it.
 
Was never meant to be a beater but just did. Here with a spare. I have other knives which I prefer but this I just grab for when there is a nasty blade destroying job. I must reprofile the edge as its not a great cutter now even when sharp. It seems to shrug off all the abuse I throw at it. It seems never to get lost for more than a few weeks at a time; turns up in the lawn mower grass collector or washing machine. Its survived a good ten years or so. I'm rather fond of it now.

I bought this little Benchmite auto clone at a gas station years ago. It's held up pretty well.

You paid too much, that's the venerable Walmart $2 Ozark Trail camp knife! The knife everyone loves to hate! (but really isn't that bad)

I think it was even $1 at one time, there is still one knocking around my house somewhere it was lost in the abyss for a long time probably a good thing haha.

That top one shows more use in it's short lifetime than some of the entire collections of overbuilt pocket jewelry that people are fond of posting on the forums (myself included).

A well-used tool is the best type of tool, regardless of price. Great post.
