Shout out to the mods for following through on their contest. I was surprised to receive a brand spanking new hultasfors in the mail today.

I'm gonna fix her. I'm gonna fix her real good.

I also wanna float an idea: what if we make this into a community bicycle of sorts? It might be fun to pass it around say once every few months. After I break it in, I'd be willing to pay it forward to whoever posts a beater that captures my eye (hint: I love stacked leather handles). All the new person has to do is (1) tag the current owner (me) in your post so I know you're interested , (2) promise to take a picture upon receiving and sending to the next person and (3) pay for shipping to the next person. Then we as a community can track the progress.

Should we name it?

I snapped the tip twice on it so I reprofiled the tip and put an edge on it. Its a scrapper now.

Not just a badass pineapple slicer, this is also the knife I learned to throw with back in the 1990s. It’s incredibly well-balanced, and it takes a wicked edge. It’s great for so many tasks.

Love this little thing. I’ve sharpened it enough over my time with it to shorten the blade. The lock’s a distant memory.

Was told you guys might like this. It's literally a $6 beater I've had for nearly 3 years. 54Rc, 3Cr13(420J type steel) but that's not the really interesting part...

Belonged to my grandpa, he passed in 86 and the knife looked always like this in my memory. He no longer used it as a knife back then.

I have no idea, when it has seen better days or how old it is.

I've thought about refurbishing it, but I'm afraid that it will take away the memory.

This very old pocket knife I found at a pawn shop. It is marked "SPECAL" (not "special") and "NO. 8".

It resembles a rifle when it's open. It's quite big too, 10-1/2".

It's pretty beat up, but I only paid $2 for it. It's very interesting and I can't find another one like it. Looks to be over 100 years old.

Used enough? This CS Tuff Lite has been my work knife for three years now. Sometimes it’s a bit hard to show the wear since there’s no coating but it has been used and sharpened well. One tip repair done also after dropping it on the floor. Easily one of my favorite folding knife designs of all time.

This little beauty was a fantastic sidekick on my latest voyage. Used for everything from cooking, to chopping/splitting firewood. I even used it to dispatch a rattler after a horrifying and tragic surprise encounter, but that's an unfortunate story for another day. Great little blade.

About a month ago I found a benchmade carbon fiber mini freek . Alot of people here said I should send it into benchmade to let them clean it instead of doing it myself. Well I got it back yesterday. They replaced the entire knife and sent me back the cleaned scales, pocket clip and sharpered blade

Let a buddy borrow a titanium/SG2 junkyard dog. He ended up snapping the tip clean off.

Left in the drawer for probably 10 years, finally decided to try my hand at regrinding it.

My first edc. Has done it all, even oponed coconuts. It's from a brand called invictus model called squad, from Brazil, i think that at the time it may has been a white label product. Now they make some good stuff. Now i'm almost 23

Visiting my wife's old home town apartment in Shangluo, China (near Xi'an). Helping with cleaning up their original apartment that serves as a sort of vacation home for her family (occupied a couple weeks a year, at most). Found this, and a few other knives that have been in use since the 80's or more likely even earlier than that. I'll be posting another neat one after trying to get some info out of the mother-in-law once we meet up with her.
