show your most beaten beaters

voracious1 · Dec 2, 2012

This skelly warden has been my daily work knife as a commercial electrician and general construction for at least 6 years. it has done it all; stripped wire, lashed to a ten foot pipe and cut wires from ceilings, tapped through wire up to 600 mcm (about 7/8" diameter), used instead of a drywall saw, etc, etc

let's see 'em!

NO REGRETS

I have beaten the crap out of my B11, holds up quite well and looks a lot less used than some new knives I have seen.

You have seen this pic but its the most recent one I have of her.

Probably my most used knife...

And a couple of others...

They all look newish, just shown some affection. I may have to demo something tomorrow. I'm trying to give my poor swollen liver a break so hain't been drinkin, i have an awful lot of energy (and a tad aggression) lately. So maybe i'll chop down a train trestle or something in the morning. We'll see. I have a sweet dog (recurve, no hook, yard something) that's never been fed anything but wood i think he needs to add some roughage to his diet. See ya'll here in the mornin'.

The fact they look newish is testament to the awesomeness of INFI. I can assure you I have beaten the absolute bashizen out of those knives

No doubt, Rob. I have seen years of your footage! :thumbup:

As I hang my head in shame, I will admit that it's been a pretty long while since I've beaten up some fresh INFI to the point of noticing the "love", but my first loved beater is my CGFBM. It's been beaten by me, beaten by a couple of roughneck landscapers, and sent on a goodwill mission for more beating by mymindisamob. 6 years and over 6000 miles...and she's still wanting more!

The very beginning of a journey long from being completed...

I could not quit. It is a pure joy to swing this blade. I had to make it through too.

Finally! Success!

I finished with some more trail clearing. She and I were tired, but even with no sharpening, she was still sharp enough to cut salal in one swipe.

Oh, yeah, she won him over!

Here she is today...I just woke her up for a pic...

:

She's getting rather jealous of the new choppers that have been arriving out of Wauseon lately... I may have to send her out on another goodwill mission to get her happy again!

Thanks, Josh! ...BTW, it's green linen.

Then I was drunk.
