Nice thread, I have a softspot for sturdy knives.

I love this photo - not really what we should do with our tanks.... but it's nice to know what we could do if we had to. So what's the best way to drop a tree with a folder? Did you baton your way through the whole thing? Was the Adamas any worse for wear?

Just hacked and whacked through it. Complete waste of time and energy, but was curious if it would break and didnt. I've batoned with it too, it survived more than a few water soaked logs, but the back stop pin did break batoning through the top of a desk. It was completely my fault tho as to recollection was hitting it with log right on the back stop like a moron. It would have taken forever to get through anyways so glad it broke.

Another tank. While @91bravo already posted his, here's my 1311 being batoned through an 8" tree trunk.

For some reason that sounds rougher on the knife/lock than just batoning the thing dead center over the point of wood contact with a light grip. Would have loved to have seen a time lapse video of you felling a tree with pocket knife - Benchmade would pay advert $$.

But yeah... can't imagine folders taking off-center batoning for very long, esp right on the stop pin like that.

Dua:


Given my relatively relaxed lifestyle, this is more knife that I have any business carrying around... Even so, carried – and used – it is.

When I think "Tank" of a knife - I think of the Becker BK-2.

A while ago I found an old thread here where a guy went nuts with a BK-2. Very funny thread, well written, and the BK-2 just kept going and going. A lot of rusty metal was stabbed and cut, as I recall. The ESEE-5 would probably perform similarly. Both tanks, I agree.

Hultafors GK, my go-to for frozen cardoors. No less destructible, but it is such an unlovely thing that I have no hesitation it putting the hammer to it.

Somehow, this is what I was thinking he was after.

I'm ashamed to say that I ordered this for EDC use off the FleaBay for $10 bucks. Never thought to look at the size or weight stats. This knife is used by the Sheriff's Department for public safety, It says so on the shiny sticker covering the pivot screw Lol. After carrying it for a week I purchased a Kershaw Blur for work and I strapped this Tank to my mountain bike tool bag were I use it as a folding machete for trail maintenance. The seatbelt cutter failed on my shoelace so I guess seat belt webbing must be made of something Err.. softer?
