Like the old trusty affordable Timex watches, which of your knives have taken a lickin and kept on tickin? Pics please!
 
Most Beckers, but when going by carry time, I would say my 24 then my 11, followed by my 5, 4, 15.

The only reason that my 15 doesn't see more carry time is that I have a few customs in that size range.

Pics when I get home.
 
My Spyderco all-stainless Dragonfly. My EDC for over a decade, although it has now been replaced with a Dice. Best small knife I ever owned.

How about you tell us yours and post a few pics? We like to know what you think too. ;)

Here's one of mine, at over a hundred+ years old the US made Moose by Union Knifeworks, the company lasted 2 years and closed their doors about 1912.

I plan it :) quick posted this during my morning commute, so couldn't get pics right away :)
 
I guess it would be my old Uncle Henry stockman. I bought it somewhere around 1970 & carried it daily until the blades were worn down from sharpening. It's still useable, but I retired it about 10 years ago.
 
Any of my Opinels.

Ive always wanted a 1.gen Tomcat ever since first I handled one.

Back then, I thought it expensive and didnt get it.

Ive kicked myself many times over since.

I love seeing a traditional sharpened that much that has not acquired a Huge recurve and kept the belly.
Great job!
 
Mine was a Kabar USMC. Had it for 30 years and cut everything under the sun with. Skinned countless number of animals, Opened paint cans, dug holes and once even shaved my face with it. Gifted it to my nephew five or six years ago.
 
This JK has taken anything I've thrown at it for years, John knows how to heat treat O1:thumbup:
 
I've bragged on this old girl for years but I've never taken any pics. She's an old Cold Steel small Clipmate in their SanMai III steel from the late '80's just before they were discontinued. For years, she was the only pocket knife I had. I worked in a cabinet factory and she saw a lot of use. Today, she's retired, living in the drawer with nothing to do but look good. She's still pretty well centered, she locks up solidly with no blade play at all, and she's razor sharp and ready to go anytime.

Cold Steel's marketing may be a bit wonky for my tastes, but there's nothing wrong with their product.
