I hear stories of all types of knives being used as scrapers, pry bars, foot holds, shovels, axes, toothpicks, chisels, etc.

What's the most abuse/hardest use/dumbest thing you guys have put one through (besides selling one)?
 
Aside from selling...scraping my 4.1 laterally against a rock...was trying to make tinder from bark and slipped, rolled the edge a bit....luckily guy fixed it up nicely!
 
I've used my 4.1 i edc as a pry bar many times at work

I put my 4.1 on the counter every time I shower so it's seen it all.
My old 10 chopped the hell out of seasoned oak with no issues.
 
batoning with my 7/7 I hit a small rock rock in the ground and it caused a micro fold that I stroped out.
 
Dropped my 5.1 on my weights and messed up the edge on the belly/curved portion on the blade
 
I made some coffee on my home made alcohol stove and wanted a picture. I stuck my 5.1(3v) in the ground and hit rock, it got some rolling and a few small chips, about an hour on the stones and she was good as new.

Same 10 I got from you bud? I've chopped pretty hard with it, zero issues here either. I did manage to damage the micarta scales by hammering in a fencing staple with the butt. No marks on the metal though.

No it was the one I had before. The one you have was only used on some pine.

Dang man, I wonder how many GSOs you'd have if you had kept them all, lol.

I did manage to put two very (let me stress VERY) small nicks in the 10 by chopping off turkey legs. I wasn't too surprised as it doesn't take a big bone to really damage a blade, certainly not something I'd recommend, but I wanted to see how the geometry on the 10 would handle it. Did very well IMO.
 
I just did a count and it's pretty ridiculous.
22 so far. I really need to stop!
(1) Necker
(1) Necker 2
(4) 3.5's
(1) EDC 4
(6) 4.1's
(1) 4.7 cruforge
(3) 5's
(1) 5.1
(2) 6's
(2) 10's

That's surprising that a turkey leg would chip it. At least you're using the hell out of it!

Holy S! Standard! As the owner of one of your 4.1's I am glad you moved some along :) I have mercifully not done and damage to it. I did remember that I also got some staining on my 3v 4.1 from not cleaning the blade well, but that cleaned up. I also scratched my new 5.1 inserting in a dirty sheath, but that also cleaned out
 
I wasn't surprised. Bone is notorious for that. But let me stress that I looked at it as a win, and the chips are tiny. I haven't bothered to sharpen them out yet, I'll see if I can get a picture.
 
Sorry, this is the best I can get. They are very small, but there are a couple there about in the middle of the picture. It's not going to take much to put it in top shape.

That m390 was a tough one to let go of! I'm glad you're taking care of it.

I'll have to stay away from cutting any bones. At least it handled it well!

Lol. I feel a little silly for even bringing it up, but that is the worst I've got, and I have flat wailed on that thing. Nothing else even left a mark. And I guess that's my point, it has just ate up everything and asked for more.
