65 Photos Of Everyday Things That Have Worn Down In Surprising Ways Over The Years
It comes as no surprise that most things wear down over time. But do we ever really pay attention to how the objects in our daily lives change after years of use or exposure to the elements? Probably not very often, which is why it’s easy to miss just how much they totally transform little by little. The items, once shiny and brand new, eventually end up looking quite different. Get ready to be fascinated and oddly intrigued by this list of 65 everyday items that have clearly seen better days.

My Great Grandmas Kitchen Knife
She (b. 1915) was a hardworking woman and played a very important role in our family. Living off the land and cooking for the family and friends on our farm practically her whole life. My dad keeps this in his safe now. He and she were close, and he had seen her use it all throughout his life. He told me family would always tell her she needed a new knife, but she never got one. So she just kept on using this.

The Guy She Tells You Not To Worry About vs. You
I'm genuinely tearing up. I've had OG Pika since at least '99, and he was already "well loved" (read: roughed up) before a dog got hold of him. This line came out in 1998, and I never thought I'd find another, never mind in such good condition.

The same dog toy, one bought when my girl turned 1, the other when she turned 4. She still prefers the ratty old one.

Well Worn Down To The Metal
I never noticed this until recently. I’m guessing from where my work boots/jeans rub when I get in and out of the truck.
