That knife has been sitting around too long. You got it for a reason. Carry it one more time or just sell the damned thing.

Yeah, that's right. That one. The one you keep not carrying. It's just sitting there. Carry it. It's a cutting tool. It should be used to cut things. You'll learn to either love or hate it on Monday, so you need to deliberate and plan.

Primarily, though, you need to take pictures and post them here.

Monday's knife for me, and a picture taken from when it was brand new. I don't carry it nearly enough, especially since I had the box signed by Sal... I need to carry it all the damned time. It's so great in so many ways:

110V Manix. Potentially the best overall cutting tool I've ever seen, from price to performance to ergonomics to etc etc etc. I even shook hands with Eric, the designer of the knife, who was even carrying the very same knife when I met with him.
 
I can do this, I will carry my Land GB9-908, haven't ever really used it since purchase.

Manix LW is one of my most carried! Shame on you op! ;)

I'll carry the crkt nirk tighe my dad gave me for graduation. It had blade play and too much sent mental value, but this thread has called me out! Monday it is!
 
Can't do it. The thing is a total POS. Can't sell it either. No one would buy it. Might just throw it out. It is the smaller CRKT Lake 111. Worst knife ever. Even after taking apart and cleaning the pivot is still gritty and the action is the worst I have ever seen. The blade chips when it even looks at paper or tape.

So, sorry, I can't play thing game, unless I throw the 111 out first....
 
I bought this one to EDC but a couple other knives keep it from happening. I may as well follow the OP's lead.

Several years ago, I met Mel Pardue, an Alabama knife designer/maker, at a locally owned outdoors store, where he had a few items on consignment. I told him I loved his Benchmades, like my 520, 525, etc, Presidio's - but he had to ask what my thoughts were re the 551 Gritilian - my first - and only Benchmade for years due to it's being dull right out of the box. I eventually found the Spyderco Sharpmaker and no longer feared a dull knife. Oddly, my last three dozen Benchmades came as sharp as razors (I like their knives!). I never warmed up to the Grip - but that's just me. This story is about the custom knife Mel made for me:

It is too nice to carry... but Monday will find it in a pocket sheath and in my pocket.
