on here we see lovely pictures of new knives some even years old and still like new.
now I only need a folder I carry it everyday been used to open tin cans, windows and even cutting up sticks. it gets sharped when its blunt, sometimes with a steel or if its really bad a stone. when I sharpen it its not sharp till it will shave the hairs on my arms

so can we have some pictures of your working knives not the pretty show ones please :)

A few are like that :eek:.

You know how it is around the homestead though - slicing sacks, prying boards, scraping putty, taking lids of paint, pruning sappy trees, cleaning up beehive components (with a roofing torch as you can see at the chisel end) and on and on.

I have a mora I sharpen on a grinder too:aargh4:

You want me to upset you?


Remember this beauty?

I do... who did the sheath for it again?

Aside from my original Gene Ingram that will stay with me until I take a dirt nap, I seem to sell-on knives before they move from used to very used condition. kudos to you for getting yours dirty though, that would have been a lot of peoples drawer queen.

It was a guy Sty Mitchell knows - I don't think he's on the internet sadly - he does lovely work! I do use that knife, but I caught myself trimming mastic with it one day which was wrong hence the Bahco (those thick chisel ended wrecking knives are actually very handy for a working knife). I use a couple of longer ones working on veg as well
