sunroof?

Great stuff! :thumbup:

IIRC, when Cliff Stamp used to 'test' knives this way, he used a framing hammer to baton the knife through the roof. Few knives besides a Busse or Swamp Rat survived the testing.

On knifemaker Bud Nealy's site is a story of someone cutting their way out of a car that had gone into a river:

"Blade Magazine-August 1998-Mike Haskew (quoting a knifemaker/ law enforcement official, trapped in a chase car in an icy river, whose name was withheld by request for security purposes)
• “Close to panic myself, I tried to get out – and here’s where my Bud Nealy 5-inch Kinzhal came into play. I was carrying it on the inside pocket of my jacket and used it as a can-opener…and managed to rip an opening in the van’s roof in the shape of a wedge big enough for my co-worker and me to get out and onto dry land. My hands were a mess of cuts and rips. As a knifemaker, I feel that the Kinzhal stood the ultimate test, as it saved my life that day. The money I laid out for it was the best money I ever spent.”

very cool story resinguy.

Cutting my way out of a burning car is usually the best reason I can come up with for carrying a Busse.
And for buying them, I know a Busse can handle it.:thumbup:

Good on you brother. We'll be sitting on the porch in a rockin chair one day talking bought Oger. The man that cut a sunroof out with a Basic-11!:cool:


 
That knife when finished looks much better than I would expect a knife to after going through that torture.

Very nice pictures, thanks for sharing them.​
 
used to be - tackling a sign post was enough.

then all you had to do was chop through a rusty old chain.

but now, now you have to nearly cut a car in half.

man - the times, they are a changin'...
