Maybe you should prove to those of us who prefer a more scientific test by doing another unscientific "test" to verify that another knife will break just like this one did (thought all you guys who insist that anyone who criticizes this test must do our own tests would like this).
one). If you want to insist that these tests are a definitive measure that the knife is not good enough, then post away
that sounds like a very good idea eveolute, but then the maker will probably (if given any response at all) give this whole load of useless information, like why it broke, and how hitting anything with a hammer will break even the best knives and all...
it'd probably be pretty annoying.
this is also considering that the knife didn't do as expected.
the green beret is advertised (so I hear) as a tough knife and it was not looked at as "tough" by most, so I think that would apply.
assuming the maker doesn't flip out.

Explain why this information is not data.The test is interesting. I like this kind of stuff on someone elses dime.
Again, what data. There is no data. There is a comparison to be made and conclusions can be drawn. Hard data is lacking.
No. It would probably be more like 98 or 99% duplicated.Can someone take this "test" and 100% duplicate it in another "lab"?
I have said I do not have any data from the other tests. I have read from sources I trust that the knife in question beat out many other knives in repeatable, real world testing.
Observation is data.I have no data and these tests provide no data only observations.
, you can only draw your own conclusion, whether a knife he tested lasted long enough to do the jobs you intend it to do, simple as that.
Do you read any warning labels.
Destruction is flawed from the get go ...donot strike "any" metal with a higher than 40 HRC ....there is a reason for this warning.
It can happen at any time.
He could have used razor blades for the same destruction and spent less money.....no "real" knowledge of any of the knives destroyed is learned.
Observation is data.
Hard H2O: Visual observation is what I offer. If you are looking for a comparison to make. I suggest watching the Strider BT test and the Cold Steel
GI Tanto test. For me it's very clear how tough they were compared to the GB.
If you do watch them or already have then I will be glad to discuss them with you.![]()
Can you scan or take a picture of the striking surface of the 3 # hammer.Evil Eye Earl: In the beginning I used a ball pein hammer with the 3ld hammer. I only use the 3lb hammer now and I have been doing this for while.
No I do not resurface the hammer after a test.
