I'm down with the flu today needles to say I'm bored as all get out so I figured I'd start a fun thread so....

What's the most "hard use" thing you've done with your buck Fixed or folder doesn't matter I want to hear your story.

For me it's definitely my buck vantage force pro I've beat the crap out of that thing
I've beat it throw wood, bolts, nails I've used it as a can opener I've baton it throw wood I've cut miles of cardboard.

Probably the hardest thing Id did was when I was running some wire in a house about 150 miles away form my house
And forgot my ladder fast forward and cut this short I ended up beating my vantage in 2x4 suds and standing on it to run the wire.

I have Buck Knives that are quite expensive but carry a 525 stainless steel handled knife. I had to strip a hood on a 1977 Chevy pickup in preparation to paint the vehicle which had been previously painted many times so the old paint was very thich and on the rear of the hood up close to the windshield area there is a series of around 25 or so louvers (rectangular holes about 1/4" x 2") and after sanding off the paint on the hood there was still lots of thick paint on the edges around each louver. I used my 525. Twisting the blade and scraping off the paint clear down to bare metal around each and every hole figuring I would just throw the knife away when done since I have been carrying the knife for about 5 years and figured it was time for a change. When done I looked over the blade and it was hardly touched so a bit of resharpening and cleaning and I put it back in my pocket and still use it every day. It is one strong knife and the lockback is as strong and solid as the day I bought it.

Not bad for a USA made knife that just cost me $17.
 
I witnessed an accident about a year ago, and the driver side door was caved in bit the latch was undone. I pried open a Chevy avalanche door with a old buck 119 . Got her out of the vehicle lol
 
For a folder, I had to baton a bit with my native once. It worked well and didn't hurt the knife.
 
Used a old 110 to smooth out some gouges on some aluminum parts at work, also deburring some other parts.

One day while in a ditch running four inch ridged conduit i didn't bring my reamer so I used my .112.Ranger for the task:eek:
 
My first Buck was a Muskrat. Carried it for 28 years. In my youth I used it to cut through nails, as shown on the emblem, and pennys/dimes. I have also used my Buck Odyssey ATS34 to punch through dimes and nickles with a single blow. The only time the blades got damaged was by throwing the Muskrat that resulted in the loss of a .25" from a snapped blade. Ground it down and used it as a screw driver/scraper since then. I never did send it in for warranty work as I did abuse it. The Odyssey never showed any damage at all. I used the heck out of all of my Buck knives in my teenage years and they handled the abuse with no problems. I own many made in USA Buck knives with pride. The made in USA Buck knives have always survived whatever abuse I have put them through. These are just the folders, my fixed blade Buck's have been used hard and have exceeded all my needs and expectations.
 
For 31 years I've used numerous Bucks at the dinner table when eating meals prepared by my dear wife. When I think of the abuse that entailed with some of her earliest culinary endeavors I actually feel a little bad for the Bucks but they made it through as did I though I still recall a particular piece of pan fried sirloin that gave me and my 110 a run for our money.
