In my right pocket everyday. Comes in handy In a pinch. I’ll usually have tools around me that can be used but when I don’t that little guy is good to have. Use it for a prybar more than anythingShame I can't post pictures on here my EDC spyderco tenacious is a good example of a knife that's been fairly well used but not overly abused. I have a victorinox huntsman that has been used to within an inch of its life too.
I can't understand why the ones abusing knives don't carry a multitool or little prybar of some sort. I rarely break a knife now I carry a multitool as well.

I get it. When you see "hard use" you want to see things flat out taken to the limit. You want hard use to mean more than cutting somewhat harder cheese.You know what guys ?

There’s a difference between hard use and stupid use which I’ve seen and yes it’s ugly. Then there’s smart use that prevents damage to your knife during hard tough work. Scratches will happen but that can be in light duty too so scratches don’t = hard use.You know what guys ? You have disappointed me .

BingoI get it. When you see "hard use" you want to see things flat out taken to the limit. You want hard use to mean more than cutting somewhat harder cheese.
With that said, hard use for a knife, for most of us on BF, just means using the knife for all it was intended for and maybe a bit more here and there.
I'm sure any of us here could easily take any knife no matter how tough and snap it in two with no more than a little imagination and leverage.
The thing is, most of us here also enjoy our knives as more than JUST tools and would like to continue owning the knife in one piece.
When hard use turns into something that will likely cause serious structural damage we have better suited tools for those tasks.
Also, if you're truly looking through the forums you'll see plenty of people using their knives harder than most would feel comfortable with, especially for an expensive CRK for example, but when you're 30+ feet in the air or on the other side of a sweltering attic the knife you have is the knife you use cause you gotta finish the job and get out of there, no time to trade the CRK out for a Stanley box cutter.
