Well used knives; post up pics of yours!

Hey all,

I saw a post on the Benchmade Facebook page of a guy's Adamas that looked like it had been out through the wringer. Lots of wear on that blade. The guy said he has been using it every single day for the last several years.

That got me thinking. I use my knife (at least the one I'm carrying that day) mostly every day. However, most of my use is probably going to be laughed at: opening the mail, cutting open a small package, cutting a stray thread in a shirt, etc. I wonder how many guys actually use their knives in a "hard use" manner. I definitely respect the guys who put their knives through their paces on a daily basis. As an engineer, if I designed a really nice knife that was very popular, like the Paramilitary 2 for example, I'd love to see pics of well used blades. It would make me feel good knowing guys are buying the blades to use, not just play with.

So let's see your well worn, used blades. Ironically I don't have any that are worn. The worst example is sn old Buck 503 with a few teeth marks from one of my dogs when he was a pup, haha.

Thanks guys,
SASW

Here's an Uncle Henry stockman, which was the only pocket knife I carried for well over 30 years. I reluctantly retired it because the tip of the clip blade was worn down to the point that it rode well above the liners when closed. The blades were getting a little wobbly, too.

Lots of steel removed from those blades over the years. The patina is all natural.
