This LE 2018 Berry Pioneer is my favourite SAK.

I bought it in Apr 2019, and carried it daily more than 90% of the time over the last 5 years.





There is a decent amount of wear on the key ring side scales, because I hang it from the pocket with a Nite Ize S-Biner #1.



Naturallly there is a miny fresh spare tucked away for a rainy day.

Great minds think alike. And great looking sak!

I got Berry as a Christmas gift in 2018 and she’s been in my pocket everyday since. Seen a lot of use in that time.

I denuded mine of the key ring within an hour of opening it.

You guys wanna see how big of a moron I am? I actually used and carried this guy unti I realised it was actually worth something. But then again, they're tools and meant to be used, so I'm not too upset. Plus, I don't think I'd ever part with it.

It is great to see a well-used and carried tool, and it has worn in splendidly! :cheers:  :like:

I wanted one of those Damasteel Pioneers badly at the time but missed out.

It’s looking good  - I missed out on them too, but my 2016 PX Damast gets pocket time, though it usual only opens post or beer bottles so it’s looking factory fresh!  :drink:

I can see both sides of that coin. My main argument for keeping such things as safe queens is that I would be (to say the least) very upset if they acquired so much as a small ding, never mind if something were to break. That's why my carriers are easily replaced.

Fair point, and no harm in that!  I personally am not a collector, so I don't mind the wear and tear.

That being said, I do have the cadet winter magic from last year which I can't bring myself to carry.  I'll probably end up selling it.

I love the knife. I love that damasteel blade and I would absolutely kill for the PX or the SC in damasteel. I carry a Swiss Champ every day alongside an alox model (mostly an Electrician, sometimes a Harvester, rarely a Pioneer). I love the look of the SC in damasteel.
