BLADE STRENGTH

I'll go out on a limb and say it's strong enough to do everything it was designed to do.
 
Unless you have a very specific use-case scenario in mind, the Steel Eagle is strong enough. .25" thickness will tolerate an awful lot of abuse before it no longer functions as a cutting tool.

As a prybar? Probably somewhat less useful than a purpose-built bar, but I'm confident you could extricate yourself from a conventionally-framed house with it. Likewise, car and aircraft.

You should probably have more than just a knife before escaping the airplane.

Don't think it's a good idea to try that trick the pirates used to do with jamming their knife into a sail to fast-drop to the deck. Mythbusters tried it, and it didn't end well.

If it sounds like we're all being a little silly, it's because we are! If that seems cruel, I apologize on behalf of the rest of these questionable folks, and probably a few of the unquestionable ones, too.

I freely admit that I'm a town boy, who has no use at all, or even practical way to carry, that much knife. For me, it's a "Dumbo Feather", a tool that is so overcompensating, that I will never face a scenario in my town-boy life that it cannot handle.

If you're in a similar situation, then it's plenty strong enough. If you have something pecific in mind, tell us more, and we may be able to be more helpful.

Similar but lots longer TOPS . Longer means more likely to break under extreme abuse .

The OP model should be strong enough for any reasonable use . IMO .

The 111A is 11" blade length and could do some wood processing , etc .
 
Strong enough for what?
Are we opening cardboard boxes; or building a survival shelter?
