I hear this a lot, but my one point to make is, has anyone else done what he has?? I've put my knife through the passes he has, and it dose just fine.
Plus, stick your arm in a cooler of 30 degree water for 2 minutes. The pain is rather great and you loose feeling rather fast. Bear has jumped naked into colder waters for 5 minutes...medical team standing by or not, thats freeking insane. Plus, whats the medical and survival team going to do when hes in that water literally freezing his male parts off??
Yes he dose some outlandish stunts, and yes there is a full crew behind him, but at least he dose what he says.
Apart from the steel being a little soft ( needs sharpening more often than my Case knives ), its a good cheap knife that you can use and work with. And if it breaks, it was only 20 or 30 bucks..a d it was well spent.
What does the water stunt have to do with quality of his knife? Yah, he's got some cahones, but doesn't make his knife any good.
