I'm interested in hearing about your favorite "beater" knives. You know, the ones you're not afraid use.
 
Hopefully this is not thread drift. Some time ago I started a thread titled "Do you have a knife you keep to seriously abuse?". By that I meant a knife you keep around to do things really bad for a knife, cut tin cans and the like. Even non-knife folks usually have a kitchen knife dedicated to things like this. People who work on slipjoints usually use a dedicated knife to knock the knife apart, cutting steel or brass pins in the process and I'd say they like knives a bit.

The answers ran from the expected "use the right tool for the job" posts to folks talkin' 'bout their beater folder.

Anyway, the knife I have dedicated to be an extremely hard use tool is an old mora I traded for at a pow-wow. It had a broken handle and I just drove a file handle onto it and it lives in my tool tote with a cardboard and duct tape sheath.
 
+1 for the Mora...I use it for yard work, gardening, in the garage etc. If it gets really grungy I put it in the dishwasher. Comes out good as new.

Svord Peasants. Cheap, sharp and easy to use. What's not to like?

Bought this many Years ago. It's my go to around the house.
 
Even though it's probably one of my favorite, and most expensive knives (college student collector here) my Grayman Dua is my favorite beater. It's such a little beast, and with the 25 degree bevel I put on it, that thing is such a beast

I don't have any knife that I am afraid to use. Before I bought my Inkosi, I had in my pocket for the last 4 years a custom knife, that I used.
 
I've got a Al Mar pre-production Auto SERE. I've had it for 15+ years and has never let me down. What a work horse!
 
Emerson CQC-7 with a reground spearpoint blade. I was making chilli about two week ago and couldn't find the opener to punch two holes in the can of tomato juice so I just stabbed the holes in the top.
