Hey everyone today i decided to do something stupid. I wanted to see just how much gross abuse this $20 knife( much cheaper for you American guys) can take. To the point of breakage of the blade or lock failure. Or both? As i said. This is a stupid idea. Had fun though.
So this was how to knife looked like before the destruction test...
Okay okay it was not in mint condition. I had battoned with it and threw it multiple times without care.
But here is a photo of it brand new ...
Let the destruction commence!
First off, battoning with a ROCK!
Could find a nice piece of wood as batton so i though, what the heck
Really surpised the blade held up even when whacked by a rock on the rather thin spine. No failures of lock
Next up, throwing!
Blade held of of course, and so did the lock.
Next, spine whacks on the rock!
The lock held! I was absolutely wailing on the hard rock multiple times. If you guys have watched Nutnfancy's Knife Graveyard video, where he spine whacked fixed blades on rocks, i was "inspired" by that haha. The blade did not break, which is really awesome considering it was a really hard piece of rock and in the video, some knives did fail, but when i did the kudu, it held! Amazing
Next,prying!
Was pretty hard, but i snapped the tip at last
Something i haven't told you guys, the day before i tried really hard to snap it but it bent and did not break! These pics were after on the next day when i straightened the blade by hammering with a rock. That 4116 by Cold Steel really held up surprisingly.
Think it is over? Not quite. As you can see, it was virtually a fixed blade due to the ring had snapped off so i could not unlock the blade. Thus, even more spine whacks to shut it!
Must have did atleast 20-30 hard as possible spine whacks on concrete when it finally shut. Still works! Still locks after that! Not as secure but it does!
Thanks for viewing guys just showing how tough this very affordable knife is.
