And to clarify, the analogy of "cutting barb wire, digging a hole and whittling a fence post" was using hyperbole to make a point. I really HAVE seen a YouTube of a guy pounding his blades through a concrete block to demonstrate how tough they are. To what end? I've read of a guy who claims he can hammer his blades, cutting through nails. Again, to what end? Never would or should a knife be used for that, so it fails me as to the usefulness of these type tests.
And in the end, as Crex stated above, ^^ what really matters is how well the knife functions for it's intended purpose IMO. __________________ Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gpopecustomknives/ Gloria In Excelsis Deo!!
