The fact that you are so derisive and dismissive points to this being very personal for you. It shouldn't be.
What are the odds most knives - many of which were a lot cheaper - making it past this point, and the CRK knives failing here? These conditions were random for all knives tested.
Or are you saying noss4 had a special grudge against CR?
Even if test conditions were not lab accurate (and they're not), unless noss4 was biased against the CRK's, it is virtually impossible that they both broke and most other knives tested didn't.
No one is arguing that this is what knives are designed for.
No one is arguing that taking a steel hammer to a knife is normal, or anything other than abuse.
The CRK knives could not take a treatment that a couple of $20 knives could. That is a fact. This fact is clearly hurtful to some people, I prolly wouldn't have been happy either with that result if I had owned one, and I might even have tried to reassure myself that it has no bearing on daily practice, WHICH IT DOESN'T.
So indeed. Get over it. It wasn't the tests, it wasn't noss4 or any bias, it was the knives.

i think u got to look at it this way. when your in a bad situation (survival, military etc) you have no clue what your going to have to use that knife for. u might have to put that knife through things u would never want to put it through . in these situations it's nice to know that if u need to abuse the knife it will take it and more.
as someone else said in the thread about a 3lb steel hammer. it's overbuilt so u know it wont fail....
the strider was s30v and took quite a beating.
but to say something about the green beret i think it looks awesome.

Well it seems that way for a lot of things, not just knives either. When someone doesn't like something for what ever reason or speaks bad about it there will always be those who will complain. People seem to take things way too personally, we are talking about knives here, not people like family members.
When someone has something they like they are pleased with it and that's good and they want to talk about it and praise it and that's fine too.
But there will be someone who doesn't agree with you for some reason, people will have their opinions about products etc.
What bothers me is when people start talking up a product or recommending a product saying that it will do more than it will really do saying it's the best there is when it's clearly not. It might be good, even great, but when there are better products out there that just remains fact that they ARE better.
Or they down a clearly better product because they can't afford it or some other personal reason like where it's made. 
That's called fan boy pure and simple.
It's just like the fact I really don't like Spyderco knives, I have owned more than a few and I just don't like them, but that's MY opinion and that's the way it is and that won't ever change unless they really change their knives. I know there are better products on the market and I choose to buy those and yes most of them cost more. So yeah I will recommend another product that is clearly better for whatever reason because it is. The fact is I won't start a thread stating Spyderco is crap because I am sure there are those who like them and there are and that's fine plus that fact it would be insulting.
I am a big CS fan and have been sense the 80's and they make great knives, I am very happy with their fixed blades and most of their folders, but I know for a fact that Busse is better so I use both CS and Busse. Chris Reeve makes excellent folding knives, there is no doubt in my mind and never has been.
The bottom line is that people will have their opinions on products and most will be different. If we all thought the same we wouldn't have many options for products to buy would we?

Since reading about the Noss KnifeTests I began to analyze the Noss KnifeTests method and realized it has merit. I purchased several knives that did well in the KnifeTests and I am satisfied. I wouldnt buy any that failed early in the KnifeTests or got a poor rating. I believe the Noss KnifeTests show the toughness and durability of a knife.

Also I unfortunately learned not to blindly follow the chanting fanboy recommendations as I purchased a few and was not satisfied. Fortunately I was able to return some of the knives.
ya, i use the tests as a guide and it never let me down!
i buy a GI TANTO and do some yard work , the result shows that it is a really good knife ! i love it .
thank noss for his great D-TESTS.
Of course not. People pick their conclusions out of thin air, and then construct an argument backwards to support them.
Do you not read the news?

yeah i dont get it either
Many of these discussions have ended up where the members get so tired of always arguing they start arguing about what is better....peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and syrup....It comes down to you chose what you like...
