We want to see your busted up, well used, well loved knives. Not your safe queens but your true users! A picture of your knife and any story you want to share is all you need to do to enter, story is not necessary but is welcome!

What do you win? How about a lightly used ZT 801 that we used for a pass around with some of our customers!


Rules for entry:

1. One entry per person! Your entry must have a photo. Feel free to talk and comment on peoples photos but only upload your entry/photo 1 time or risk being out of the giveaway!

2. The picture must be of your knife, not a picture stolen from the internet!

3. Entries from everywhere we are allowed to legally ship the knife are welcome. International entries must be willing to pay shipping cost!

4. You must be 18 years of age to enter!

5. No knife abuse pictures. Don't go beat up a good knife with a hammer!



We will keep this running about a week and then pic a random winner from the entries posted. We will use a Random Number Generator. If it lands on a non entry post we will pick the entry closest to that post without going over!


That is it! So quit cleaning your knife right now and go put it to some real use!
 
I have been using it for a year now . W

Well, I can't claim the use on this one myself, but can't resist posting the pic anyway. This knife was my Dad's, given to him when he was in the Merchant Marines in WWII. I found it in an old tool box after he passed. I thought about trying to restore it, but decided to leave it just as he had it. The damage you see is from real, honest use over many, many decades. And, boy, is it in bad shape. I don't have any more of the blades open to show as they, well, don't open. :D

(and, yes, that is a legitimate tin Lucky Strikes cigarette box in the upper part of the top pic)

One of my most used fixed blades, sees all the grunt work around the house and in the yard. Thanks for the opportunity.

 
My Spyderco Native (Golden, Colorado, U.S.A., Earth) is the golden standard:

It's a great work knife:

It's a great past time knife:

It's even a classy knife:

I've used my native any and every way I needed. I've done light batoning out of necessity, I've dug, it's a great knife.


I'd love to have and use the ZT. I still haven't found one that I really like, though I've tried several.

I'm in, and thanks for the giveaway.
 
My ZTs see pretty light use due to the fact that my job requires crawling around in attics and crawlspaces which sometimes results in losing things. Therefore I carry a cheap knife at work. My Kershaw select fire has seen better days, but its normally up for the task.

Been eyeing an 801, so thanks for the opportunity.

My main EDC, sees most use while at work... Fast little knife, it's out cuts what it needs to and back in my pocket in the blink of an eye. Don't own a ZT yet but have been eyeballing a few models. :D

I bought this knife at least 12 years ago for 10 bucks from a guy I worked with and have beat it up ever since !!! I lost this knife several times, once under the hood of my car for a few weeks...dropped it countless times...left it at work..it bounced around in a tool box for years...The kid took it a few times when he was building a fort in the woods..But it still works and locks up..Pretty good investment I think
 
My ZT 0350 and 0560 have seen the hardest use of all my knives. I carried my 0350 for nearly 2 years. I used the crap out of it.

Here is a pic of me at work on lunch with my 0350 in hand. You can see the lines all over it from use.
And the other pic is the 0560 on a machince with the airline I cut off the had cracked and was leaking.




 
My rat 1, was the first "hard use" knife I bought, used it for everything from fire prep to food prep, absolutely love this thing, takes everything a throw at it and keeps coming back for more

The King! Needed a new camp knife that I could stick in the fire, dirt or any thing else I felt like. After spending some time on this forum I decided the BK9 was for me. Haven't looked back.

I've been using this mini grip for about 3 years now. I carried it for about a year before I slapped some custom scales on it. I still use the hell out of it, even with the added custom touches. The butterfly is even starting to fade on it:(
