The USA Made Blade show us your well used knife ZT giveaway!

You should've seen this thing BEFORE I took the coating off and stone washed the blade and clip. I took this mini grip everywhere with me and used it for everything from slicing boxes to cracking open cans. The black coating was really roughed up so I gave it a little makeover. :)

I have a lot of knives that I rotate in and out of everyday carry duty, but I ALWAYS have this litte Victorinox Waiter on me -

I have had it for well over 15 years - and it goes with me every day.

It has been sharpened so much that it looks like a wharncliffe, and the Swiss Army logo is worn off of the plastic.

I still have the original toothpick and tweezers - and I use them regularly.

I feel naked without this knife, it was purchased for me by a friend who was visiting my companies office in Geneva.

Here's my beat-up Ontario fixed blade, which I used to chop some wood.

Thanks for the give away opportunity.
 
Here is my Ka Bar 1221 Next Generation which i bought used for $50 10 years ago and due to the price I have not
been afraid to get as much use out of it that i can. Its my daily carry in my backpack whenever i go out into the bush
or cottage. It even traveled across Alberta with me one summer on my pack to dig into the ground if i fell down a hill or some
other such thing. Ive used it from everything to chopping tinder, use as a fire poker, food prep, trimming cord, hammering, cutting down green limbs and even to dig a 1 foot deep latrine in a gravel pit one time while camping. It has been a really great knife, holds its edge well and is easily repaired, sharpenend when needed.
 
My most used knives that I still use. The SAK must be 20 years old. I used to use it a lot when I went back packing back in the day. I cleaned it up a couple of years ago. Nowadays it usually rides in my bag as a backup.

The paring knife is just one I bought at the supermarket, but I use it all the time for general utility in the kitchen (all tasks that don't require a big blade). It's also my sharpening experiment knife. When I try something new, I usually use that knife. At the moment it's a full convex, but with a thin V-edge on it.

The ZDP dragonfly is my most used carry knife since I got it, perhaps a year and a half ago. It has some patina from my sweaty pocket, but it usually looks pretty nice. I need to resharpen it though. I chipped it.

Alright, here ya go.

My home brewed 0360


And what was at one point a Cold Steel 4" Gunsite folder with 50/50 Tanto (CS serration are kinda weak, a full regrind was about the only solution to the edge damage). Kinda spanto-ish now



Thanks for the chance!
 
I am very new to collecting and using knives....I have only had this for about a month, but I carry it everyday and have used it a lot.....however I can't even tell that I have....the DLC coating must be good on these....at this rate I am very pleased and am sure that this black blade will last a long time without showing wear--thanks for the chance!

Here's my beater knife. Had this for about 25 years. Today I used it to cut down some rampant bamboo

Thanks for the GAW
 
This is my ladybug salt that I dyed black. It used to be on my keys but now I have it attached to a mini pry bar. This knife probably gets the most use out of any of my knives and has held up after years of use.
 
Thanks for the chance to win a ZT. This knife was used when I bought it and I use it almost every day and keep it razor sharp.

Starkey ridge is probably my most used and abused. Not that I am a hard user, by any means, but I definitely don't just open mail with them...

I'm in!

SOG Flash II. My entry into the knife world. It did 3 years of true every day carry. Now retired.

810 Contego would now be my most used EDC. I got it off the exchange well used and have put a few more dings in since.

For a fixed blade, the Esee 6 has seen regular camp use and is now rotated with the Bravo II.

Here are my two most used knives. The fixed blade is mostly used on meat, it has butchered deer and been through a pile of rainbow trout. The folder has been through some tough times processing fat wood, helping me patch a fourwheeler tire (somebody left a broken dagger blade on the trail and my tire found it) light prying and just about any other horrific thing that you shouldn't do with your knife.
