Some of these well used tools do look good I try to keep mine shiny and clean but am not afraid to use them either; with time I will proudly post my well used gear Ideally it would be nice to have one of each model; a shelf queen and an EDC
I've used this Juice XE6 so hard, the scales wore off.Honest
Kick: light, compact, the most used and the least expensive pliers based tool.
I'm a long time ED knife carrier that's finally branching into MT realm. I figured I'd share my EDC for the last 5 or 6 years. It's a Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops with a tanto blade that I've abused to the point that it's starting to resemble a drop point. With the (painted on?) black finish, it has scratches and scuffs a plenty. Been used for cutting (anything and everything), chiseling, scraping, prying, poking, hammering, rasping (just look at the texture on those handles!), shimming, and driving/loosening screws. After looking over that list, I'd say it's high time I got a multitool. Still, this knife has served me well. At less than $15, it's cheap enough that I don't mind banging it on stuff but still sturdy enough to take everything I dish out.
