As I sat stroping I started to wonder just what my pocket knife would look like in the years to come...with all the sharpening and stroping. Anyone has pictures of their worned used knives? Wanna share?

most old whittlers i knew, grandpaw knife especally wasent much more than a sharp toothpick..

one of his birthdays i bought him a case brand pocket knife, same exact knife as his wore out knife, he give it back to me and told me he prefured the one he already wore out, but i could keep that new knife and over the years wear it out like his, and have me a fine carving knife as well
its still around here somewhere, so far i think i got half of the work done in 40 years

Most of my whittling knives have been lost over the years. When I chose one to use for whittling, I usually reshaped the smallest blade to a sharp point. I sharpened the blades often, but I can't think of any that changed radically. That's probably because I lost them after a few years and replaced them. Many of my whittlings were done while on camping trips with Boy Scouts.

I still am carring two pocket knives, a Case and a Boker, The Boker will be retired as it is beginning to be unsafe to use due to blade spring being worn and weak. I to, use them one Scout Campouts and carved walking sticks during campouts. One blade on the Bokes and one on the case has changed but due to changing the shape of them for carving. Probably retire the Case also as soon as I fine the right Case Knife.
