My "job" is advocating logic and reason in all things. I draw the line at pointless abuse of a tool for the sake of destroying it. This proves nothing. The fact that people are using these stunts to draw conclusions about the work of the manufacturers and makers involved does everyone a disservice.
Because these knife-breaking stunts are unscientific and generally not reproducible with any degree of accuracy, and because the sample sizes used are far too small (usually a single knife) to represent anything like a random sampling, no true conclusions can be drawn from them. This renders them largely useless, if somewhat entertaining to some.
As I told before what are you doing is not logic but sophistic - part of rhetoric which actually twist logic upside down. I think it is not really pure sophistic but some practical implementation known as "Trolling". This includes ignoring facts and repeat nonsenses like this one "pointless abuse of a tool for the sake of destroying it".
It is clear that everybody who was initially u nder impression of this fantasy now after seeing video and reading transcript understan that this is not "Noss4 knife smasher destroing knife for fun to put it on YouTube" - because this is clear from first look. But only one here repeat and repeat this ignoring reality.
Once again for you 7th time:
He introduced knive - as A2 thick heavy duty one piece...

1. Peel apple, (I tests on potato) - shows basic ability to use knife for "fine" thing like food prparation, reasonable test and Project one doing all right.
2. Slice an apple - reaonable test to me - show that blade is bit too thick for fine slicing.
3. Cut 10000 pounf ribbon cutting
4. Control Cutting of 10 000 pound ribbon
5. Cut same with serration
6. Chopping 2x4 - not a good chopper according to Noss4. get some energy to do. not heavy enough...

7. Cut 10000 ribbon after chopping - cut well no difference on the edge.
8. Batooning firewood hitting with wood - done.
9. Cutting Ribbon after batooning. - less sharp.
10. Tip break test on 2x4 "dig through" - perfect shape after testing

11. Tip test on metal - snaped off very tip few mm but no any serious non fixable, compare holes with holes from other knife. Reasonable test for survival knife.
12. Batooning through 2x4 with 3 pound steel hummer
I would say he hit it very gently, defenetely without intention to destroy it with blade about 60 degree to wood) until at 8 minutes it breaks very easy without actually any hard hit and at the different point from where he did hit it with hummer, but near handle. Also it was clearly surprise for Noss4 he did not really expected this.
So is it pointless abuse of a tool for the sake of destroying it?
Thanks, Vassili.
