My EDC

I can't remember where I got this old Wengerinox Swiss army knife, but it was likely either a garage sale or a thrift store. 

If this was a car it'd have 500,000 miles. As you can see, it's been beaten, broken, painted, melted, and sharpened within an inch of its life. (See last photo of the blade). Most of the "locking bars" for the tools are gone so they don't stay fix in place. The awl flops about, and as you can see one of the other tools has been broken off completely. I keep it on my workbench as a package opener. I'd love to know where it's been and what it's done.. somebody really, really loved this knife, and used it for a LONG time.

First Tree Brand

I'm told you guys would appreciate my great grandfather's kitchen knife. Spent a good 30 years at my grandfather's cabin after he was done with it, and will now chop potatoes at my cabin...

I stumbled across this in a box when we moved into our house. I didnt know kabar made folding knives. Does anyone know anything about this knife? Age? Or if it's common? Anything?

Kabar folder

It cuts a lot of plastic in my line of work. The blade isn't to bad. But the finish is about done for. Bought a new edc, I am wondering what the next journey is for this blade

My everyday flatiron thanks Gerber 

Alright, I know everyone was waiting for this update! 🤣

Kershaw had the parts out to me very quickly, they arrived Friday. Got everything back on the bench this morning and it went back together very nicely. My uncle will be quite pleased when he gets Old Faithful back at the Christmas visit!

My Uncle's Kershaw Blur - I love it when a plan comes together:

Was told this would be appreciated here

Kershaw blur i found at the flea market. Got it nice and sharp so it'll be a user again.

I was about 3.5 year delinquent in cleaning the drain trap on my washing machine.  When i did, i found an old friend that i thought i had lost forever.  A little buffing and a bit of stropping and it was back to razor sharp.  Case makes a pretty sturdy knife.

My Uncle's Kershaw Blur: he told me the spring assist didn't work, so I took it down to see what was up. It was rough:

I’ve been invited to join this community. Here’s my submission:

The one on top was my first knife, from what I recall I found it in the woods when I was 8 or 9 years old. The one in the bottom was a gift from my uncle on my 11th birthday…when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

first two knives I owned 


So this knife sat above my grams pictures for a long long time she finally gave it to me a few years ago the story I got with it was this

"You're great uncle used to take that knife hunting he brought it back from the war he just said that he got it while he was in Germany and carried it till his death"

The markings on it are "SOLINGEN" on one side and "ARMEDO" on the other if anyone knows anything about this I would love to know seems like a beautiful knife

WWII knife 

Customer Knives Finished Up in Time for Thanksgiving

This particular knife was originally my grandfather’s and it shows. It’s got one hell of a notch from some old incident none of us remember and is about as sharp as an average butter knife. Never managed to ID it, it has a mostly legible makers mark stating “Ca Mill US Cutlery Co Camillusny” the last word being the most illegible. All and all nice little heirloom I use when I get a chance.

I worked a nice long gig with a fun and laid back crew a couple years back. I wanted to give my boss a great thank you gift as he made it a point to keep on as many guys as possible for as long as possible. The last two months we were a crew of 7 sweeping and reorganizing lumber for very little reason basically. Sweet gig. 

I knew he was into automatics so I gave him a microtech runt in blue. Sweet little piece. He refused to accept it without paying me so he insisted on giving me his Boker Kalashnikov. 

It’s definitely seen some use over the years. I suspect it was in pocket when a motorcycle suddenly felt like laying down. It also seems to have been reprofiled after a broken tip.
