swenson45,
On the Strider AR cutting your knife in half, yes it is possible. I know this because a good friend of mine (who is also a knifemaker) made a knife of S30V and we chopped another knife in half that he also made and it was made of A2 steel and was heat treated properly. That S30V is some bad stuff! I would have never believed it myself if I hadn't been there. Also there was an article in a knife magazine not long ago showing maker Rob Simonich cutting a piece of steel in half with one of his fixed blades made from S30V. So, it is possible to chop another knife in half with a Strider AR, especially one in S30V. I believe I also remember hearing about the Strider guys chopping a leg off a table at one of the Blade Shows a few years back. Someone tell us that story
