The knife thread.

[Mang213]

A knife will last as long as you make it last. Don't use it for a screwdriver, don't cut things that shouldn't be cut with a pocket knife, and keep them clean and they'll last decades.

+1 Even a cheap knife will last if you don't go beyond it's designated use. I use an old swing out Buck that I found when I was still in high school. Only been sharpened once about 5 yrs ago with super fine sandpaper on a workbench, and it's just now getting to the point of needing a stone put to it

I carry the Case Sodbuster at school because its small and doesn't have a clip. Around the farm and shop I use a cheapo lockblade that dad gives out to his customers at work. It needs sharpening a lot because it's soft steel, but it gets the job done without tearing up good knives doing stupid stuff.

And as you can see, I'm a big fan of Case...

My grandpa gave me that one before he died. I have a box of knifes in a drawer of my gun cabinet. You can see Case boxes in it in one of the pics above. This may be 1/4 of the knives.

You really want to put an edge on a good knife, spend some time with a leather strap.

That top right Buck is junk. Wouldn't hold an edge period and was just uncomfortable. More power to you though if you can get it to stay sharp after cutting through butter.

And zeake, those look like really nice knives. I may pick one up, although I feel like they are a little bulky for my taste.

I had the same knife just without the serrated blade. Loved that knife so much until it just disappeared.
