Another thing that is common in knife discussions are that people write that they use knifes "a lot" - and often they show a picture on a knife they have use "a lot".
When I look at the picture I can read how much a knife have been used becouse when a knife are used the Esge starts to be warn out - and the knife must be sharpened. Every sharpening you do take away material from the blade - and the blade starts to "dissapear" more and more, after some time have the width of ghe blade decreased...
This pictures shows three knifes I have used - and you can se how muxh material that is grinded away. All traditional knife users recognice this - most knife people have never seen it before.
The upper knife was I using during 5 years, the middle sid I use about 5 years, the folder in the picture was my third folder Victorinox Champ and I do not know how long rike I use this one. Knife that are used look like this.

So, when people claim that they are heavy knife users, look at their knifes - now you know what to look at.
I am on a knife fair every year. One man show me his knife and he was extreamly proud of his knife and he told me that" i have use this knife dor 20 years now and it still works perfect". I look at his knife, the producers grinded edge was still there = this knife have never been sharpened... He has carry the knife in his belt dor 20 years - but never use it.... And this is rather common...
I know people that use knifes so much that they look like my knife above after 2 years. They are knife users - not I..
Talk to a butcher, he can worn out a knife in a week...
