I just want to know what all of you put your knives through in EDC and/or other things.

I mainly use my knife for box break recently, though I use my camping knife for all the camp chores that exist.

What about you?
 
I cut stuff with my knives, I use a pry bar to pry with, a screw driver to assemble stuff, an ax to split wood, and a Sawzall to cut cars up with. I try not to abuse any of my tools and use them in the correct application.
 
Today I used my Cat to deburr some acrylic panels (use the sharp spine like a scraper to break and deburr), trim two sided tape and sharpen a pencil. Used a Bug to deburr the holes I drilled in the acrylic panels.

Lots of cardboard, shrink wrap, that thick plastic chord that attaches boxes to pallets, packaging ect. Did I mention Lots of cardboard and shrink wrap?

Great response!
 
The knife that I put in my pocket gets used for odds and ends when something needs to be cut or sliced by myself or others in need of it. The main use for me is to cut food - steak in a restaurant, cheese and fruit I bring to the office, or whatever food I have that needs slicing and the compostable non-metal knives they have at work will frustrate me if I use them instead of the knife I bring.

For opening envelopes at the home office, I have a couple of 4 inch paring knives i got from the Sharper Image and Sur La Table.
 
The correct response to this thread....

"I use my knives to open the packages my knives come in. And for that I demand at least a quarter inch blade stock and a framelock for strength. Has to look badazz with my other kit, so black everything. Skulls would be ideal. Cutting ability, irrelevant"
 
Main folder: Cardboard, plastic binding straps, clamshell, leather, vinyl, foam, wood, etc. Mostly cardboard and bindings. Lots of those. This does the serious cutting.

Wenger Esquire (= Vic Classic): tape busting, goo scraping, etc. This eats gunk. The scissors, pick, tweezers, and file get used regularly as well.

Folder rotates, Esquire is always with me.
 
Very mundane tasks, actually....this afternoon I used my Endura to open a packet of honey for my coffee at Starbucks.

My knives see their roughest duty when I'm working outside on the property doing maintenance.
