Question about polar expeditions

[kancler]

Guys!
Do you know anybody who does polar expeditions (North or South pole)

I know for sure our knife was tested in expedition to North pole in Russia, but I would like to provide a knife for more extensive testings.

Maybe Polar bear hunters?

Larger survival blades aren't really of use in the arctic and tundra. They mostly use snow saws to cut blocks for shelter. there isn't a whole lot of wood, and the wood there is is frozen and needs an axe. Most of knife use is probibly animal processing and other fine blade work.

I respect that you want to test your knives under hard conditions, but its a classic blade forums case of a guy in South America telling someone in a Namibia he needs at least a 19 inch machete. Make a knife for a relevant location and circumstance and find somone to test it under those conditions.

edit: sorry I thought i was posting this under the canadian forum... I'll just copy and paste it over.
