Can your knife support your weight?

Haha I just read through most of that, there is some real gold in those threads, Gecko has a friend come in and agree with him and they both take on the whole forum.


Oh yeah, I forgot about his friend, that's awesome. I wonder if Groush has any friends that can substantiate his claims?

I hammered my knife in a tree and it supported my weight easily!:cool:....


But now it's stuck.....:(
 
Will a light saber support your weight?
I doubt that.
You put it into whatever material (should not be a problem at all) and then step on the handle.
What will happen? You guessed right - the light saber will cut down the material you put it in.
So you better use your jedi skills to get out of there.
;)
 
So I've had my Case slipjoint in my back pocket all day, and I have been sitting down for a large percentage of that time, and I can report that not once has it given way under my prodigious mass. So yes, my pocket knife can support my weight.
 
So the post go me wondering..... my leg is gone, but my prosthetic is getting comfier by the day......
 
sending blades to their grave is depressing, but necessary. You can only figure these things out by destruction testing, otherwise you're only guessing.Many of my blades ended be in tiny pieces by the end of the day, and I have a hunch as to which will put up more of a fight . Mandatory disclaimer: Don't try to one up me, don't try this at home, not covered by warranty. Also not liable for you cutting yourself. This is for my research to determine what is and is not working.

Woah...Any story on this gif? The reason I am asking is because I saw a tattoo on somebodies arm in public and it was a marlin riding a bike. I always thought there might be some significance and maybe this gif might shed some light on it. I am being serious.

In the 1970s there was a feminist saying: “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.”

Ever heard of NDT? Not to mention basic engineering analysis. If you have the dimensions and properties, you can predict the point of failure with a certain degree of accuracy. There is a line between "testing" and "abusing", and it seems pretty obvious which side of the line you are on.

Don't forget "playing" and "toy breaking"

:D
 
Pfft, only 3 dogs? I was accosted by 2 cougars at the bar lastnight and all I needed to defend myself was some clever conversation.
 
I'm not sure whether to tip my toe into this (mildly amusing) insanity, or just dive in.... the last time I checked my 'Fodors Guide to Tactical Cycling', the "triple-dog-knife-takedown" is an illegal unsanctioned move, often performed by seemingly innocent adventure cyclists who have been induced into a(n) hypnotic fugue-like state by psychic terrorist suicide canines. Some of the side effects of the state include nausea, vomiting, an oily discharge, and a compulsion for subjective destruction torture testing followed by the funeral of said inanimate objects. Often such victims vanish into presumably a parallel 'reality' where their adventure destruction skills are constantly being used to save poorly equipped greenhorns from the terrible consequences of both sub-standard equipment or the burden of too many, albeit 'specialized' tools (like pitons, climbing spikes, and crow-bars). All is not right in Lego-land though; the lost wandering souls of the vanquished predator hounds have blended with the shattered spirits of the broken blades in an unholy Martensite transformation process to create demonic creatures previously only unleashed in Nazi/ancient alien encounters and David Bowie albums. Said victim is forced to roam the multiverse world as.....

Woah... had to reread that one a few times. Thanks for the laugh. :thumbup:
 
3 dog knife... wasn't that a 70's rock group? During the show they threw knives at the crowd while riding bikes and diffusing IEDs.
