I am still trying to figure out how this guy thinks our EDC should be worn out and damaged because we carry it everyday.
The previous photo of my CBH was the day before maintenance.

Apparently we are supposed to treat our stuff like shit and use them in ways not they are not supposed to be used. I guess I can go see how my guns work as hammers, and knifes work as pry bars. Just can't help but to take care of my things, my bad.
Maybe I should have said that I don't put loose change or anything that can scratch or mar things up in the same pockets as those things that I like to keep looking new. I clean out my holster and pockets also whenever I get anything abrasive in them like sand so my crap doesn't get scratched. The leatherman is only a week old, but still, it will look like that in a year if I can help it. I use my stuff regularly, however I use it carefully as a personal choice. I assume the comment about the daily carry stuff that looks like it is in great condition was directed at people like myself who take great care of their items. Some people just go that extra mile when taking care of their things. I have an HK91 that that has 3 visible scratches on it. Some would call it a safe queen if they saw it, however I have put two barrels on the damn thing already (easily my most used rifle).

I got this holster in a trade, and wore it pretty much everyday for a year and a half or so, and who knows how much the previous owner wore it. It doesn't look beat to hell, or even well used, but I take care of the stuff that I may have to stake my life on someday. Hell I have a cheap mini bic that I carry everyday (not as smoker tho), and it gets a looking over and a function test daily.
I'm a little late but here's mine.

Why a single action? Cause I had to sell my 1911 and I'm just as fast cocking the hammer on it as I am disengaging the thumb safety on my 1911, I'm faster getting a sight picture with it than any gun I currently own, and its definitely the most reliable gun I own.
