So what is the oddest use/abuse you have ever done or seen a knife put through? i.e. I had a friend who needed to prop open a steel security door to make deliveries. He used his Cold Steel Recon Tanto (one of the early ones with the brass pomel and bead blasted finish) as a door stop. Another friend who regularly drives his into trees to act as a coat hook. You get the idea...

It is not the fall that kills you. It is the realization that "yes, you did something that stupid."
 
The oddest abuse I have seen to a non-collector production knife is to spend good money for it and then to let it languish in a drawer so that its rusted remains could be found by your survivors, or the estate sale cleaning people.
 
Ditto on Nimrod's answer.

I buy knives and don't even use them.

The knife I use the most is the blade on my SOG Power Plier.

NOTE: So why do I even buy knives at all?...Because, they're sharp, shiny, dangerous, fun and mom never approved!
 
Funny it was also using a Cold Steel Recon Tanto....tough knife.

We were at our Church and rigging up a sump pump in the basement, broke through the concrete to set the pump in, but they wanted to set it in a bucket so dirt wouldn't flood in. So out comes the knife and after some stabs we had a very ventilated steel bucket. But not done yet, needed to cut a notch in one side for the pipe to pass through, so hack hack through the steel bead around the top and down through the side, didn't hurt the knife, even the Pastor was surprised.....of course he wondered what I had a knife like that stuffed in the middle of my back....but he knows I like knives.

Saw a new one. Coworker used a 110 knockoff as a nutcracker. Walnut held so one seam was between the liners and the blade rested in the other seam. While holding nut in place in the handle, the back of the blade was struck hard on the table. He seemed to have the technique down.
 
My Endura II gets alot of use/abuse at work..Cuts 200+ cardboard flaps a day,cuts whatever im having for lunch,prys box flaps that are stapled and glued shut(Damn things)and have several times used it to cut bailing wire...im amazed at the damn abuse these things take...Great knives....great..
