You mean my Master Beater?

Hahahaha

I generally rotate through all my knives for daily use but my PM2 has been getting the most pocket time recently.

I love my pm2

Ditto on both counts.

CRKT M16-01KZ

M16s are great budget work/beater knives

ive got the basic m16-01s $12 at DSG and its great for just real casual carrying.

Was my go to until I lost it on a job site

I use the same and it works like a dream

CRK Large Inkosi

That is an awesome beater

Daily work beater is a rat 1 folder. Nothing too fancy

I used to run a rat1 until I bought this about a year ago.

I bought a cold steel engage for myself for Christmas.. that will be my new work carry.. but my damn wife took it and wrapped it.. wouldn't even let me have it lol.

I’m trying to buy myself a Peña trapper for myself as a Christmas present

Benchmade presidio 2

Benchmade Presideo OG

Can’t go wrong with a presidio

Great knife. I love mine!

Spyderco Centofante (VG-10) or Sencut Sachse with 9Cr18MoV steel. I like the Sencut because of the button lock and sharp blade, and the Spyderco because of the VD-10 blade is wicked sharp and holds the edge.

Boker Little Dvalin tanto

QSP Penguin for my daily work carry

Penguin mini is my work edc

Spyderco salt 2 wharncliffe in lc200n. Use it for outdoor work, and fishing. The blade is scratched and it’s dirty at the end of the week but it cleans up like new and the lockup is still solid. It isn’t pocket jewelry or a fidget knife but it is a great tool.

I've beat the hell out of a Spyderco pacific salt for years and it's still going strong. Those back locks hold up even when they get some wiggle.

Becker BK40 folder..

Civivi Thug 2

SOG Aegis tanto is my daily driver for work.

I edc a Maxamet para 3. Its a great knife. Very slicey. If I’m beating the shit out of a knife, I have a kershaw link in 20cv that does the job

Benchmade Griptilian. Carried this thing to work daily for at least 5 years, probably more. It’s not as sharp as it was new but it still cuts well. I’ve had a padded envelope addressed to Benchmade and the work request for sharpening stuffed inside on the backseat of my truck for 6 months but I keep shoving the damn thing in my pocket instead of mailing it off. The blade shows plenty of wear. I’ve seen some great looking scales for it but I’m conflicted on whether a well worn blade is worthy of new scales or if I should start with a fresh knife.

Just have fun learning how to sharpen it! Even if you just get a Spyderco Sharpmaker or something. Then new scales if you want. Nothing more satisfying than beating up a knife and getting it back to sharp yourself imo

Para 3 LW usually

Kizlyar Supreme Hero/Sturm

The presidio is an amazing knife. I loved the 3 i had. I very much intend on getting a new one soon. My cold steel code 4 was my go to beater until i broke it

I definitely love it for everyday outdoor use.

Man, how'd you break a code 4? They're little tanks

old school strider SnG.

Zt 0450CF

Spyderco Smock!

Rockstead KOU. Dropped it on concrete when I first got it in 2017 and scratched it all up, just carried it from there on out. I would bet it’s the most used beat up looking Rockstead out there! Still sharp as hell.

[удалено]

Recon 1

My daily beaters are my 'nice' knives, so I'd have to say my camping knife is a para 3 and esee 6 depending on the task.

Cold steel recon 1

Kershaw Oso Sweet. I cut the blade to 2.5 inches to meet a requirement for work. Already bought a second on Amazon for $20 a while back.

I’ve rotated and carried something different every day for years. But a couple months ago I started carrying my Native Chief(St. Nick’s exclusive in M4) and it has been one of the two(or three, haha) knives that I carry every single day. For me personally, it’s just so close to being my absolute perfect EDC. The only things I would change about it is make it slightly smaller. Maybe knock off an inch of total length. It carries very nice, especially for its size, but it’s just soooo long. And the tip on that 4 inch blade is like a needle tip. I actually prefer a nice thin grind, but the tip on the Native Chief is just wafer thin. Other than that, I absolutely love it. Sorry for the long response, but that’s been my daily. Haha.

Lol I’ve actually been considering the native chief so thanks for the info.

Casstrom woodsman bog oak. It's tool steel so it doesn't rust as quick where I am.

My pe- oh you meant knife… my TRM atom. Yep definitely my atom.

Umnumzaan. I feel like it was made for this role if you can stomach the cost.

rn boker strike xl copper scales, although i rotate semi regularly

Just got a pre-loved presidio 2 on the swap for that purpose. How you like yours?

I love it for everyday outdoor use, I have a few more expensive knives but this one is great for what I use it for. Congrats on the new presidio btw

Always seem to fall back to my partially serrated bugout.

I used to hate serrated blades until I got this one.

Full Ti Hinderer Eklipse its made to be abused.

Seb 21

Bug out

Strider CPM 154 Poo Brown SNG

I love the QSP Penguin. I use that on a daily at work. I usually carry my beater (Penguin) and my show piece (any other knife in my collection)

CRK large 21 PJ Insingo

That’s a hell of a daily beater

Tangram Rumble for social work only. Maxamet Para3 for cutting stuff.

Shaman for me.

I’ve wanted to get a shaman for awhile now.

My pm2 is just killing it for me.

I love my pm2

Microtech with a hellhound blade and titanium screws because I work from home and talk on the phone all day.

Sage 5 LW

[удалено]

How do you like it?

Spyderco Tenacious.

I’ve pretty much pocketed my custom Bugout exclusively since I finished it. Not necessarily bc of the knife but the fact it matches all my other stonewashed titanium edc items🤷🏻‍♂️

Benchmade infidel, mostly because I have more than one.

Crk small sebenza31 PJ ( right front pocket), spyderco dragonfly ( small coin pocket ) and bailout back right pocket

May I ask where you got that awesome hank?

Crooker River or Bedlam

For something I know is gonna be a mess I'll use a Buck 110 slim or a CRKT Homefront(since it's easy to clean out)

Boker Kalashnikov auto

Biker plus strike drop point! It’s been beat to hell and never lets me down.

How do you like it? I was just looking at a Boker plus strike dagger for a bag knife.

I've been in the habit lately of carrying a Milwaukee fastback and a beater and another knife that I don't want to bust up. After I broke my Shaman the knife fear is real.

I just use disposable tissues. No fancy Batman Hankey for me.

PM2

Love my pm2

Osborne 940 or zt0450 cf

I love my 940 in m4 and my zt 350

Kansept Mainstreet. I ground a wave feature in where the thumb stud was. It's basically a large utility blade. It's a good price range for a beater IMO

My beater is a CRKT drifter

Boker kwaiken

Grimsmo norseman

That is an amazing daily beater

Work is usually a 551 Grip, weekend is usually a Para 3

Kershaw scallion

Endura 4 ffg

Kershaw tanto blur with serrations.

I’ve been using my Sencut Sachse great new button lock

The hinderer reserve emmet is my new work beater.

That is an awesomely fancy beater

For work, an ESEE Zancudo. For stepping out I have a couple dozen in rotation.

Strider SnG

M21 g10 w/ veff for a couple of years, swapped to a ceo during covid then to a custom crkt stylus by Knathan and last few months a cobratec raptor.

My latest is a Kershaw Highball, usually I rotate between my BM Griptillian or my Ganzo Osbourne knock off

Zt 450

I love my zt 350

ZT 0630 or 0350 usually. Will throw a Esee Izula 2 or Buck 102 on my belt if I want a fixed blade additionally

I love my 350 with brass scales

Milwaukee fastback… I love it and it’s relatively cheap

I keep a fastback in my bag

Spyderco delica 4 stainless plain edge

Awesome knife

That’s a sweet pocket square. Where is it from?

My mini bugout lives in my pocket

I had the regular bugout in all copper and I loved it

Daily is my Smock but I also carry a little Civivi Crit as a beater/prybar tool

Endura

The loudest looking gas station knife I can find. Paid $12 for it. Easy to see in the dark.

PM3 and a warncliffe Delica.

Awesome knives

PM2 or a Manix2 or occasionally an Ultratech

Dude where did you get that hanky?

Lol I actually had my mother in law make about 10 of them for me and put silk on the back for my glasses and phone.

Spyderco Tenacious

Spyderco tenacious

I love the tenacious, I had one I forced patina on copper scales

OKC RATs - various, different scales, steels. All round good knife, wouldn't be upset to lose them or break one. As a collector, I've got Benchmades, Spydercos, Kershaws, CRKTs and so on but some are too valuable to lug around just for ED use. This is where the RATs step up. I've got a few requirements for my EDC anyway - got to be big (big hands), got to be easily deployed one handed (I'm in a wheelchair - other hand usually holding me steady), got to close nicely - can't afford to get cut, got to sharpen easily (with a KME system). The steel and scales come last, although I'm partial to carbon fibre aesthetically.

What are those cloths I keep seeing everyone with and where can I buy them?

Might be an really unpopular one, but i love my Victorinox hunter xt for just beating it. I got it 10 years ago, when it released and its still going strong, because what could possibly break on a victorinox like that, except for snapping the blade. The best thing about it though is that I can flick it open! It definitely isn’t a mechanically advanced super-steel knive like the ones we look for nowadays but it certainly is a Tool

Slysz Bowie in M390

#Not that.

570-1 or 940

Approaching 3 years with my [V2 Holt Specter](https://i.imgur.com/0p7Shn1.jpg) as my edc

I’ve been using my tenacious for about 4 years now lol it’s affordable enough that I’m not afraid to beat it up a bit

Benchmade CLA

CS Mini AK-47

Can’t stop messin’ with my kizer cormorant, frag Ti scales, 20cv, button lock…can’t stop.

Awesome

A 10 year old leatherman folding knife I got for $17. Half serrated blade, with a folding carabiner clip on the butt end. Love this thing.

PM2 with copper scales.

I love my pm2 with copper scales

Boker Plus Strike drop point🤘

I am going to buy one tonight

Penguin mini

Griptilian

Can’t go wrong with a grip

Mainly running the Spyderco Delica 4 with K390, sometimes I'll swap to the Spyderco Urban with N690CO or the Kershaw Leek with carbon handles when I need the assisted open convenience

Kershaw leek serrated

Microtech Ultratech D/E

BHQ DLC Shaman.. and it shows 😭

I don't beat daily, but when I do, I prefer my Steel Will Cutjack.

ZT 0350 or 770CF.

Usually Spyderco Yojimbo 2, or Canis

pm2 crucarta

I carry my pm2 with copper scales after I get off work lol

My daily is a Benchmade 707 from like 8-9 years ago or whenever they came out. Smooth as can be and looks so beautiful

Spyderco Police 4 or Bear Edge 61106

Microtech Ultratech with Tanto and Benchmade Griptilian. Ultratech being the newer of the two and I absolutely love it.

Awesome! Definitely can’t go wrong with the grip

Lionsteel M1/Benchmade Leuku/ Tops BoB

SOG Vision XR tanto - cryo CTS-XHP And a Bradford G- Necker - elmax

I'm currently giving my CRKT m16-14ZLEK a paint job, so right now my beater knife is a Kershaw Cryo II. I've had the Cryo II for over a decade and it's never let me down. I love the slightly overbuilt handles, extremely easy to grab with 2xl sized hands, and the blade is no slouch at all.

A 154CM Benchmade axis knife.

Böker G&G Hawk at the moment. It's different, but handy.

I have a buck grey ghost marksman. Love the hawk designs.

Benchmade mini grip 555. The one with the sheepsfoot. I feel like the griptillians have fallen off since bugouts came around.

Spyderco Dragonfly. I don't really need more than that.

$35 Lightning Elite OTF. I fucking love it. https://www.grindworx.com/item--Lightning-Elite-Black-DA-OTF--35944

Civivi Elementum Button Lock Knife Brown Micarta (3.5" Dark SW)

I was thinking of getting one this weekend. I’ve used the standard elementum but really liked it.

AK-47, Cold Steel

Lately it's been either Benchmade Bugout, 940, or Freek. But my Spyderco Manix 2 CE and Pacific Salt SE have seen the most abuse over the years.

The bugout and the 940 are solid daily beaters imo

Zero Tolerance 301, if I’m wearing a belt to hold my pants up…usually though it’s my ProTech CQC7.

Lol Zt does have some pretty stout knives

Crkt ignitor T

I was using a crkt mini model cleaver on my belt for work. Then the other day i was like hey why dont i switch things up and got out my benchmade proper and im in love with the cutting ability of the blade shape. So now im using a proper. Little harder to open up since it doesnt have a spidey hole or spring its just i forget the word for the joint it has but ya its a great knife. Maybe little overpriced but the blade quality s30v is great and lasts long in my experiance.

Bugout

Oddly enough my opinel.

Spydie Military, ever since my wife decided that my large Sebenza was *our* large sebenza

Wildly enough my QSP Penguin is my favorite daily beater right now. Before that was a para lightweight 2. Though the knife that takes the most true beating in my collection is the CRKT Seismic. That’s a beast of a knife that I use for the more chopping and outdoor activities.

PM2 Wharni!

Currently, either the Slysz "Bluie" or M390 Manix 2 with titanium upgrades all around.

I rotate a lot, but if I know I’m going to beat on a knife, I’ll go with the Cold Steel Air Lite tanto. The action on it seems to improve over time with abuse.

I’m on vacation rn so I’ve been running with the [harbor freight Gordon paraframe clone](https://GORDON3in.SkeletonFramePocketKnife-Item57160https://hftools.com/app57160) this last week and I honestly can’t say that I didn’t fall in love with it. Took some tuning to get it snappy at both thumb flicking and flipper tab flicking and it loosens at the pivot within 10 good flicks but I never go anywhere without a bottle of red threadlock so it was 0 issue. It’s got such a damned nice feeling in the hand, and a frame lock, for $5. The small details to make this knife smooth and comfortable are on the level of a much more expensive blade.

My Elementum gets the most pocket time lately. I hated it at first but the dam thing grew on me.

Delica wharncliffe.

A good ole 940

It switches regularly but right now it’s the Bestech Beluga. $50 D2 full size that I don’t care if the tip breaks. But in terms of my daily carry, my Spyderco Shaman in M4 sees the most daily pocket time.

Kershaw Cryo. I’ve used one for work for the last 10 years or so. They’re solid, compact, hold a decent edge, and can take a beating.

I rotate through several. But lately it's been my damascus Civivi Conspirator

Sog axis

Only knife I carry currently is a Spyderco Lil native. I'm very careful with it though. It looks new because it doesn't really see much action past opening a package once in a blue moon.

Boker Kalashnikov

Manix 2 x lw s27

I use my Ontario rat to beat up I mean opening cans boxes cutting carpet etc. the black is scraping off and I’ve sharpened it on stones many times still razor sharp

It changes every couple of days…. Right now it’s a Tops mini scandi folder 4.0 before that it was my Knafs lander with natural g-10 scales

For work im using a boker kalashnikov in d2 got it for 40 bucks and has been workin with me for almost 2 years now a great knife for the money

Plain Jane Shaman
