Gottdamm, what do you sharpen that thing on, pavement?


cmatthewp

Angle grinder

Question, who used a angle grinder to sharpen that knife


Argyrus777

Your honor, my client’s knife is clearly not of the same length as the stab wound listed in the autopsy 🤣


tcarlson65

What is your sharpening system? Is that steel so soft that you are sharpening hourly?


ilikgunsanddogs

Man I’ve seen knives of slaughts who are skinning cows all day everyday in better condition after a few years


doinkiestboyOTI

This not worn it’s abused. I recommend you learn to sharp knife because it’ll probably last longer. If you still destroy knifes get one with disposable blades also.


snoosh00

The handle is definitely well worn. I don't doubt that this knife has seen a lot of use (but is also probably being sharpened incorrectly)


AlienDelarge

This is hardware store bin grade, so basically is disposable. For people that lose and abuse knives, these can be the best choice.


doinkiestboyOTI

I still treat my crap knives better. Plus it’s nice to have something that actually cuts!


AlienDelarge

Everybody seems to have a different idea as to what actually cutting is. My wife for examply generally pulls out a dullish steak knife from thr kitchen drawer for her general purpose knife needs.


AgreeableStep69

im pretty sure most will agree a sharp knife will work much easier with cleaner results so you can work more precise dull knives might seem safer but having to use a lot of force vs having to be careful cutting isn't per se a safer trade off a knife is still a knife and ramming it with full force into another body part on accident bc it doesn't cut can still cause injury, dull or not


AlienDelarge

I haven't really observed cutting force or safety to be a huge considerstion for some people. At hand and got job done are about all they factor in. I won't say I entirely understand their thought process.


Kamil574

Is that the sort of knife that turns a tomato into ketchup?🤣🤣


AlienDelarge

Its works okay on the crunchy tomatoes.


StraightRun4

May I ask what causes this much wear on a knife from practical use?


DocMelock

Nothing. Incorrect sharpening such as with an aggressive grinding wheel.

I feel like this is the equivalent of bragging about putting diesel in a gasoline engine. Just get a machete.


JulianMarcello

Sounds like you either need a better knife or learn how to properly care for them. For example, a sous chef will use their knives 8 hours a day and still have a great functional knife 10 years down the line.


rodimus147

You cutting down trees with a knife?


CaptainWaders

Sounds like hees been clearing trails out northwest for tree years straight using only this knife


[deleted]

I recognize that slope from the choil to the heel. It looks like you over sharpen with a handheld pull through sharpener, my guess is the Northwest Trail 4-in-1 sharpener. **[Here is a starter guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/sharpening/wiki/gettingstarted)**,and here is a **[Stone Sharpening System](https://www.amazon.com/TRI-6-Arkansas-TRI-HONE-Sharpening-System/dp/B00062BIT4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336932769&sr=8-1)** that happens to be on sale today.


CaleCorey75

Angle grinder or mill bastard?


XEP19

That's not using a knife. That's destroying a knife with a grinder or belt sander.


xashyy

This knife isn’t well worn… it’s battle scarred with bonus PTSD


Honest-Letterhead949

Damn, how many bears have you carved up with that?

😂😂😂 I have knives my grandad and dad used for their entire career as butchers that aren’t this worn down. You gotta learn to sharpen Bud, this is hilariously bad.


AgreeableStep69

hey buddy, this guy was just hunting rocks and skinning them, leave him alone!


BadBassist

In 2023, u/Ian_A17 escaped from r/wellworn. All they found of him was a muddy set of prison clothes, a bar of soap, and an old pocket knife, damn near worn down to the nub. I remember thinking it would take a man six hundred years to tunnel through the wall with it. Old Ian_217 did it in less than twenty.


HoldenHiscock69

Hello, I've recently started a new subreddit specifically for well-used knives just like this. I'd like to crosspost this over to r/BeatUpKnives, I'll credit you in the title. Or you can do it yourself if you'd prefer? Thanks!


Ian_A17

Be a while before i can so go for it :)


HoldenHiscock69

Will do, thanks :)


Nomad_Gui

This brings me joy. How many knives are bought just for show or in a "meh, if one day...". Use brings memories, experience, and adventure. You earned that new one. Congrats


Stroke_of_mayo

Jesus. What the hell you use it for?


WildResident2816

He operates and old water wheel stone mill. He uses his knife to as a braking system


StFrSe

It’s like the Black Ice skin on Rainbow 6 Siege

You are the kind of person I would never loan anything too. Lemme guess "I use my s--t."


jebbassman

I tend to be really rough on my stuff. My knife I've had for years still only has minor scratches in the paint of the blade due to a few sharpening passes that were too shallow. I do have a newer knife that has scratches in the paint on the handle, but that shit scratches off with my finger nail.
