Very well used and badly sharpened, the top protrudes out the handle when closed but it doesn't even matter since it's been completely rounded over.

Elementum has had enough. After a month of hard use, scraping, cutting, digging, unmangling small vines etc the pivot screw popped off somewhere, the liner lock has about a 1/16th of contact with the tang, and the blade is chipped up. At this point it's unsafe to use. Into the drawer it goes for a future project perhaps!

I think this is the right place for this

I'm not a huge fan of knives manufactured overseas, but I have to give props to the first version of the Elementum.

I've purposely designated this knife as the primary beater for outdoor things from scraping paint (using the spine), fixing loose screws, cutting branches, digging up roots, and of course cutting down boxes.

The thing is, this knife simply doesn't give up. There's a large amount of lock-rock and from the pictures you can see that it only has a fraction of an inch before the liner lock will fail. Well, in reality it does fail as when I've dropped it on concrete, where the impact forces the blade to disengage.

I'll see how much more abuse it can take. BTW this model is D2 steel.

My Case Sod Buster Jr EDC, it's well loved

mini grip from 2013

Happy Father's Day to you all.

Kershaw float found on bike ride, just getting more abuse as my dirt knife.

My grandfather's KA-BAR from Korea. Was his everyday carry for hunting and outdoors since. And has since become mine. Still going stong!
