Some of these well used tools do look good :D

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  :tu:

Ideally it would be nice to have one of each model; a shelf queen and an EDC  :ahhh

yeah i also look after my tools, although early on with my wave it got tossed in my tool box and left hanging around work sites so im lucky it never got stolen, must admit i was always lucky with this,  :D early 00 it got put in its pouch on my belt as nature intended  ;)

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.

Welcome to the forum, Cameron.  You've gotten your money's worth from that knife.   :D

Ok here it is, my S4 EO1 duo going on two years.


Fan of the Leatherman mini-bit driver, dedicated slotted drivers, and the Victorinox backspring philips. But not combo blades.

I dug around and found my old Case 6392 Stockman that I carried for years along with a large folder and slip joint pliers on the belt. I havent carried it for along time and has been in a storage box. I need to give it a little TLC.
Hold fast & Have a good one.
