    My digger

    Somewhere Milco showed a pic of how he broke his digger and I thought to myself how strange that was. I just thought I would show you how they can wear out. The one on the left is new never used and the one on the right is one season of digging.

    Wow! The amazing thing too is that you tend not to notice until a comparison is made. lol Another member here posted a similar photo sometime ago. There is a lot of digging going on, that's for sure.

    Mine do the same thing greg, I left a lesche on the bumper of my brothers truck last spring and got a new one, I should be getting my backup lesche soon in the mail, I'll have to compare them and see what 1 year does.

    Are you sharpening it a lot or is that just from digging

    Looks like my K-Bar from long ago. In recent years that has evolved into a digger/garden tool. Been resharpened many times...rocks and pebbles are hell on edges!
