Can your knife support your weight?

I believe the "Tri-dog I-EDC/2a" variant, (w/ laser-guided corkscrew) has been adopted by secret mall security SPECOPS groups nationwide.
 
Taking down three Canines on bikes indeed allows one the title "Three-dog-Knight", giving one the right to wear the Gecko45 approved armor-plate 'undervest', and join Lord Grouchly Tri-pooch-mort as a member of the famous "Knights of the Hound Table". The fabled sword 'Ex-kibble-bit' is still is still stoned in the middle, as illustrated in the ancient 'Gurr-burr' logo.....

SM100 isnt a fantasy, Its a Ti alloy capable of 62RC with a higher yield strength then any steel.
 
if 6 dogs equal 1 bear and 1 horse = 1.75 dogs, 6 dogs = 1 bear = 3.42857 horses.

that's a lot of horse per bear. 4 oranges = 7 apples. just so you know for future reference.
 
Very nice prose WRGreen, thanks for something amusing in what started as an informational venture and turned into less than "much respect from Indy".
 
As a manufacturing engineer, I did NDT and I destroyed a few things along the way. I have been making hot rod parts for some time now and was determining a direction for knifemaking, including materials. Before retiring to care for my mother, I was involved in medical device manfacturing.
 
OK
Maybe a bit too much new years eve ( you guys will prolly have to wait till tomorrow for it lol , we get new year tonight )
I was looking at one of the first small knives I ever made and feeling sentimental when I saw this thread popped up again .

My knife , runs at roughly $5 allowing for cost of glue , and a couple angle grinder discs , add another $20 if you want to include time cost .
Please hold the laughter , it was one of my first it looks as this :

I have thinned out the edge on this thing a few times to make it good for meat work , its my main knife for hunting . Its not got a edge Id go whittling bolt threads with nowdays ..too delicate , its a meat slicer , that being said tho ... the repeated talk of cutting a car ... mhmm , k , you see this is on a car ? guess whats coming ..

I cut this slit with a lump of 4x2 as a baton ( yeah , I dont just cut cars with my knife , I batoned it too , sue me ) the sharper eyes among you , or at least people who have cut sheet steel before , will notice that the cut actually starts at the bottom , and I cut upwards .. the knife refused to pose for me like that so I shoved it in sharp edge down for the pic .. gives a idea of the size of the cut anyway ..

Next pic , if you look close , youll see I did actually ding the edge on the curve . I found a frame or something behind the panel so only the tip went thru and I cut on that . Keep in mind , you can see that this car panel was cut on about the most delicate part of a blade ground for slicing meat nowdays and parting out carcasses . Its not ground for cutting steel any more, the only reason it holds up at all is due to the actual strength of the blade steel itself , not the geometry .

The repair to the edge took not quite as long as it took to upload the pics of me damaging it ..
OK , this is my home made knife with a meat dressing edge on it , cutting a car ... lets see some SM100 in action :)

Did I get the longest post in this thread yet ??
 
I'm glad this thread popped up. Very entertaining! Great troll attempt. Could have been much better if OP kept adding though.
 
We need more 5/8" thick blades like that Himalayan Imports knife that has appeared quite a while back.
