Sorry if this has been done before, but I see photos of beautiful, brand new Hinderers all the time. How about some photos of hard use Hinderers? Who's got photos of Hinderers that have been ridden hard and put up wet?
 
Here is my user, though the stonewashed finish hides light scratches.

Great thread!! I've been curious too. I saw my first RHK probably 8 years ago and it was well used and some would say beat but it cut great and functioned flawlessly. The guy was military and it saw way more than box cutting. That sold me on the knives.

I tend to agree with this sentiment. Just because my XM doesn't look beat to s***...doesn't mean I don't use it. Why must a knife look like it has been grossly neglected to be used, and then if it does show those signs...suddenly it's abuse? What constitutes used?
 
Approx. 80 percent or more of every photo I post in this sub-forum is of a user knife. These knives wipe pretty damn clean and the stonewashed finish hides way more than photos alone can show.

Wipe the dirt off the knives in photos already posted here and the knives will look pretty new again...scratches, etc is another story.
 
I use all my XM's I just rotate through them every day or two to the next one... So none of mine really look beat... Even the satin one's... Some have cut some pretty gnarly stuff and have looked beat at the time, but I clean them right up and give them a sharpening when needed and they come back looking great!

Here is the very first XM I owned and I do miss it... I stabbed it through some sheet rock at a jobsite.. It took a couple stabs the sheet rock was tougher than I though too stab through...

 
^man i hate this sheet rock (here they are called gipskarton platten - or rigips because of the brandname) - this stuff really messes up the edges - used up countless 25mm tajima s on those sheets - gotta love some construction

No doubt, sheetrock tears through a knife edge, but pales in comparison to shingles. Nothing will wreck a knife faster than shingling. Sheetrock and asphalt shingles are the reason disposable knife blades were made.
 
^cool - i had to translate shingles - now i know that we have several rolls of it just outside the house and in the storage cellar :D nasty stuff - also remember carrying a lot of these appx 90lbs rolls up the roof when helping my uncles out at some construction site

Rolled roofing (with the granular surface) is just as bad, felt paper is easy in comparison.

Asphalt shingles:
