(Please, no drama here. I want this to be a constructive thread.)
I enjoy doing knife testing, to personally learn about my knives. I like to provide others with something of value that they can learn a thing or two from.
Keeping in mind time constraints, a very limited budget and other conditions that limit what can be done, what would you like to see in a knife test from an average user like myself?
By tests I mean more controlled observation of a knife to supplement the opinions I gather from daily use for a review.
What types of tests interest you the most?
Cutting wood for long periods of time to check ergonomics?
Cutting specified lengths of cardboard using a 1 inch portion of the blade and measuring sharpness to gauge edge retention?
Strength / toughness testing?
Submerging the knife in various liquids over specified periods of time to check corrosion resistance?
Are there any particular aspects of a knife you care to see tested over others?
Was there ever a moment where a specific knife test or review affected how you viewed the knife, or knives in general?
