Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Niels, I really like that folding knife of yours. Available only in the Netherlands?
And I must say, British Red wins the award for most used knife...sure you didn't dig that one up in some archeological site?
Cheers
Alex

It's German made. It came in wood though the antler is a mod.
If you can find a sodbuster in good steel, it's not that hard to just bust the scales of and put on some stag scales.

Yes the GEC " bullnose" o-1 sodbuster makes great EDC that builds up a nice patina if its a working knife.
Hey, that's what I use quite a bit, great tool
Its surprisingly good isn't it Tony? I was unconvinced by the chisel end until I had one....now I find myself reaching for it a lot - it'll take a good thump with a hammer either on the spine or the handle to split some wood, chisel out a bit of rot or whatever. Useful for prying, scraping ....as you say ...a good tool
Lies, everyone knows the more spent on a knife, the better your chances of survival, finding a partner, getting that job and being let off the speeding offence!
Also, because of this thread, I gave my knives a damn good clean up and they came out looking ok. They all get use, though the scandi one much less so.

I have a couple of drawer queens but for day to day use and my EDC there is a Doug Ritter RSK MK1...
And for when I can escape to the woods there is my old Alan Wood Woodlore...
I have a few others that get some regular use but no photos of those to hand.

For me it is my Helle Folkekniven. I like the fact it looks used.
It is mainly the handle that bears the marks of use. The blade is fairly unscratched. I take good care of it by keeping it sharp and clean, and oiling it every now and then. In exchange it keeps on being a fantastic knife year in year out.
I like this thread. Knives that have a story to tell are prettier.

This is my current user! slowly being fazed out by my Jacklore though, But the Jacklore is still looking to shiny to show in this thread just yet!
Since I tend to leave folders in pockets and forget which pocket or more precisely which garment I have hidden them in I have taken to wearing a necker all the time I can get away with it.
if I don't think I'll be doing more than opening packets and light stuff it's the old CRKT Neck Peck in a heavily cut back sheath (bottom) but most of the time it's a Grohmanns flat ground camper. The sheaths taken on a nice patina over the years but my inexpert sharpening had meant the blade has lost a lot of its belly.

Thought you might like to see the working knife collection since I was sharpening them today

.......and the row I got a few years ago because I posted a photo that had a stained tomeliten in it 
....rhubarb if I recall correctly.
That well used Bahco looks very, very useable, doesn't it ?
Squidders, I like the set
cheers,

That Bahco is a great tool Mary - the illegitimate offspring of a tough knife and a chisel. It pries, scrapes, levers, chisels, chops and batons (and is built to do so). It aint pretty - but pretty is as pretty does!
Stolen picture as it's better than mine
This is still a new knife to me and I paid a visit to Stuart who gave it a complete refurb. It's already had 3-4 outings but it it still looks new. I look after my knives but they are all users (this is my only fixed blade)
