I’ve been carrying the same knife for seven years

It’s scratched up and has a small chip in the edge from something I definitely shouldn’t have been prying. The clip is a little bent but it still opens just as smoothly as the day I bought it. Some gear earns its wear, and that story is part of why I keep it.

That’s the kind of gear you don’t replace, you just maintain it. The wear tells a story you can’t buy.

Yeah, that’s a good one..that knife’s basically got your life story etched into it at this point.
 
If something lasts seven years, you know it's really worked, right? I've got a beat-up old Spyderco knife that I keep around for that exact same reason. All those nicks and scrapes, they really do tell a story.
