Mr. Carothers. I apologize ahead of time, but I’ll be the idiot on this thread for arguments sake. I know that there is things to learn about the test yada yada yada, but to keep it simple with all things being equal (steel, heat treat and etc) he did not show anything but the obvious. It showed that the thicker the blade for any given length is harder to break. After attempting to cut a nail on top of wood or sheet metal proved to me that this fellow does not qualify to test anything. I’d rather you send him the protection which was a nice gesture and thrown the knife in the creek. I mean no disrespect to Joe x, but what a waist of a knife for common knowledge.
