Your Longest-Running User Knife?

Carried a Puma 970 Game Warden In my back pocket from the early 70's until about 5 years ago when i got a Benchmade 940 Axis
940 Axis lock is a sweet knife but still have a lot of love for the Puma.
 
My mini grip was my sidekick for about 4 years until the tip went blunt from a camping trip incident. Lately I carry my kizer a lot, but that's changing since my mom just got me a southard for my B-day. My mom is awesome!:D

Victorinox Rucksack, it's going well into its second decade. But to be honest it rarely gets used these days. I am still very fond of it though.
 
Been carrying and using knives for about 30 years. I too go through "phases". Lately (last few years) it's been some flavor of Millie. Mostly a M4, or a M-390.

Lately (last few weeks) I've been rocking a Strider in stonewashed CPM154. I just CAN'T get it out of my pocket!! I know people have VERY strong feelings about Mick Strider, but THIS particular SMF just "does it" for me. I'm loving it so much it's kicking my Millies out. Crazy, I know.
 
I have a Gerber E-Z-Out,been with me about fifteen years.Takes on some tough jobs and still going strong..
 
Military S30v for about 5 years. Still as reliable as day 1.
I now have 3. (S30v, M390, and S90v)
What a knife.
 
Uh... I have had a Benchmade Emerson CQC7 lefty model for about a year and I regularly carry it. I don't normally keep a knife around that long, so it is an unusual piece. I just can't bring myself to get rid of my only lefty knife, and other lefty knives are VERY pricey. Yes, I know lockbacks are ambidextrous, but I want a knife that works perfectly as a lefty and barely functions in the right hand.
 
I've carried my Endura for nearly 15 years. It was an EDC for most of those, then I added a couple more knives to the rotation, recently including a Paramilitary 2. I realise the PM 2 is a better knife, but for ease of carry, I find myself going back to the Endura. Its just easier to carry the lighter knife, and the serrations can cut just about anything, whereas the PM2 is PE.
 
I carried my Leatherman my entire ARMY career (7 years). 5 countries - 3 deserts
 
Knives still carried and used would be a 3 year old Para 2 digi-cam/satin and a 2 year old mini-CQC15. Both have scars but both still function the same as they did the first day I got them. My wife's current carry is a small dog paw Sebenza. She's carried and used that one only since Christmas 2007 when she got it. I had CRK check it over last year and add double lugs to the blade. It's in great shape. Got a few scratches on the polished blade but that's it.

Knife "semi-retired" from everyday use but still ready to go again would be a Cold Steel small Clipmate from around 1990. Sharp blade and solid lockup even after 20 - 25 years.
 
My 39 year old Case slim line trapper in CV and yellow delrin! Still carrying it although I have a "new" one that has officially taken its place.
 
Ive carried my Benchmade Triage every day on duty since my dad gave it to me, I don't remember how long thats been. He gifted it to me right after they came on the market.
 
I received this Buck 309 as a gift in the mid 90's. Has seen a ton of pocket time.

 
Guardian tactical helix just over a year I beat on it and it is still solid as the day I received it
 
I like this question:
This is My Old Schrade-Walden 881, I have been using since 1973.
Snap is poor, blades are rusty and it's NOT FOR SALE.
I use it just about every day of the week [twice today] Ken
