I wonder are the stresses greater on the anchor point during an ascent versus a rappel?

Rappel. More force is put on your anchor point as gravity is providing you with constant acceleration.

HA ha...I knew you guys would like those knives. Tricky figuring a way to introduce them, but I figure most Beckerheads like ESEE as well. It was such a cool pic I figured it would spark some con-ver-saytin!

I DID think that knife was the bigger one. Double Holy Crap!

(I was the one that made the lawyer joke that fell flat)

I'd still like to see it with a BK2. Or hook a pulley to the handle and pull someone up via 4x4 winch cable..

And for the people screaming "STUPID", I had the line backed up in case of failure. I am a little crazy, I'll give you that but not stupid.

Match. Set. Point.

Good work.

I just have to say guys, I have the EDC-4 from survive knives and it is OUTSTANDING. I have a Fallkniven F1, which was my number 1 before this, a becker bk17, bark river bravo-1, and a BHK bushcrafter. The EDC-4 is very very sharp and ergonomic. When I gripped it in my hand for the first time, I felt like I was holding Zeus's lightning, something I only ever felt with one other knife and that was the ESEE Junglas. I'm going to Lake George this weekend and will test this knife extensively. Im positive it will excel in all things bushcraft. Cant wait for the CPM-3V version!

I wanna see how it cuts. Por favor.

Glad to know the tree was standing dead. Even though I like to think that everyone is that thoughtful, I've not witnessed it personally all that often. As a "careful" climber it amazes me how over built most climbing gear is,(I'm not that big), and also as a hammocker how "climbable" most hammock gear is. That said, I'm amazed it stayed stuck in the tree, no way you'd get me out on that one!
And I guess the old rule still stands, just because you don't understand doesn't make it wrong. Cool stuff man.

No contest at all. Hell, I could suspend my Tahoe on the BK2...

It ain't gonna break, but sure, if it does, I'll replace it.

True but what about when the Tahoe falls off with the bumper still tied to the BK2

I'd say that's the most likely scenario

That's up to GM to warranty.

I'm just curious to know what you think will fail. Knife comes out of the tree? Knife snaps? Something else?

it could probably hold 200 pounds but when you fall those 200 pounds turns into 2000 pounds or some thing like that, so it might snap if the dude slipped but he's got that drag line connected to his caribiner he would survive minus a bk2.

Hey it has been awhile since I looked at the SURVIVE! line. Think he first popped up here around March of last year or so. When are we gonna see the GSO-10? Was really looking forward to that one.

He just posted the pre order link the other day. $160 shipped, but thats minus the sheath I think. Looks very Brute-ish, I think.

As C_Tanner stated, I am offering a CRAZY promotion on a production GSO-10 in CPM-3V. A once in a lifetime kind of thing, to get my name out there and to give people an unheard of deal on a big CPM-3V chopper. We are half way through our second day of the promotion and already well past the half way mark for the preorder sign up goal. I'll also have the final production specs on the GSO-10 posted in the next day or two. It's going to be a chop monster. The full promotion details and the sign up form are here: http://www.surviveknives.com/gso-10-preorder/ Sheaths aren't included at that price but will be available separately when these babies are ready to ship.
