What is the most abuse your CRK Folder has seen?

[smitty1505]

What what the hardest or most abusive thing you have done with your CRK folder. For me it would probably have to be cutting sod with my sebenza while putting down a new lawn. No real damage. Stayed sharp longer than I thought and only light screeching on the blade. I love this knife Oh and tell what knife.

My small Sebenza went through the washing machine and dryer without any ill effects.

i use mine everyday. its beat up, but i love it.

 

[ForestRoamer]

I beat mine up pretty bad. Yesterday I used it to cut laminate flooring, it's tough stuff but my Sebbie handled it well and held an edge.

 

[JohnnyO]

I once scolded mine for being sharper than my other knives. I was pretty harsh...

 

[link2derek]

Slicing outdoor carpet (tough stuff!):

 

[Haze]

I have opened a few cans with my Umnumzaan. I have also battoned with it a few times to fell a some larger
bamboo poles and split wood for a fire. Other than that it's pretty much just the regular sort of stuff it sees.

 

[spyken]

how was the edge after opening the few cans? can it still slice paper where it cuts the can?

The edge held up very well actually, it wouldn't shave hair but was still sharp.

I have pics of the knife just after doing a few cans in a review I did a while back. Here is a link to that post.

Me too -- thanks for the link, though, Haze. Good to know my CRK can handle that task if/when the "situation" arises. I will, however, wait until the situation necessitates such action.

I don't want my post to Void the Warranty.

I stabbed something and broke it. Got a brand spanking new blade and a stubby one too.

Large Regular: Diging small branches out of my chain saw. At the end of the day the edge looked like Alfred E Newman's teeth.(slight exaggeration)
Reprofiled on the old Edge Pro and restored it in no time.

Did the person ever get the broken S30V shards out of their body ??

 

[Stainz]

My new Wilson Combat StarTac Umnumzaan, since it arrived here last month, has suffered through incessant opening/closing, lots of varied cutting of printer paper and veggies, and, the most insidious of all, my uncontrolled drooling on it... my first CRK!

One of DaveH's (R.I.P. friend) Sebenza's spent almost a month under snow on his driveway.

Traded my small Regular acquired in 2002 to my 10-year-old Son (as of Nov. 2). Looks like he's been cutting down trees with it.

Despite the gunk on the blade, there's no blade chips, and the action is still very, very smooth. He likes to whittle sticks, and looks like he got into some green ones. I laugh, since I have to break his down and clean his twice as much as mine.

Oh well, that's what they're for, Sons and Sebenzas.
