Let's be honest, what do our 100$ knives contact the most?

For me it's oranges,
 
Feed Sacks
bailing twine
small branches/sticks
Animals be it wild game or livestock from here on the farm...
.
For me the real test of a knife is meat/hide..Afterall thats what they were meant for ;)
 
Tape, paper (letters, shredding testing sharpness), leather (leather work or my strop), nylon rope (usually 550 paracord) various plastics, various food incredient, skin and hair(sharpness test) ((and last couple of days my own flesh and blood :p more than once when stupid me started playing with tenacious and when food prepping knife sank my palm)), woods and things like that.
 
going from most common to not as common.
Paper opening letters and testing sharpness and so forth (by far the most common)
Clamshell packaging
Packing tape
paracord
wood, when camping or sharpening pencils
foodstuffs
 
Lots and lots of rope! some paracord, but mostly line on or for my sailboat. I also cut paper for sharpness tests, and also lots of wood when camping (chopping, whittling etc.).
 
uh, hate to say it, but anytime my thumbnail is short, mine opens my skoal cans. i guess if i could cut back to 1 or none on my dipping, i could buy a whole lot of knives. crap costs between 5 and 6 bux a can at usually 2 cans a day.... around 350.00 a month
 
Food, cardboard and my sharpening stone.

My new Kershaw Volt handled a lamb rack amazingly - bone scraping has never been so easy.
 
Food, boxes, plastic, ice... I don't know. Whatever I need to cut. I don't keep track of how many times I use a knife through the day, it's not an event for me...

You make it sound like it's an exciting time of your day if you get to use your knife legitimately.

How in the heck do you dip 2 cans a day?
