Well, it would be nice to know that my sebbie could help me drag myself back onto the ice, without the blade snapping over my fingers, if go through.
Now I'm not so sure anymore. Maybe they would find my frozen ass stiffie next to a half open sebenza and some fingers?

I would certainly hope that you wouldn't rely on a folder of any kind to save your life in that situation..
Haven't read any of the comments at all, but the whole test is null and void because he wrist flicked it at about 2:13![]()
If you're out playing on ice that's thin enough to go through, you living or dying will satisfy Darwin either way.

It's called a joke, but staying off thin ice is often a lesson learned the hard wayNo comment, just out of line. Butthurt?
When I take a look at my sebenza, the locking action, and think of what happened in that vid, it just doesn't make any sense. Something is off..
I can only think off 2, maybe three scenarios.
1. Both sebenzas were tampered with. Oil on lock surface etc.
2. Both sebenzas was faulty from factory. Not likely, but still.
3. Somehow the setup of the test makes the locking action just not fuctioning like it should. Pressures when mouting the knives up to the test fixtures wich make the lockbar unstable?
I also believe this test will shortly be followed up by another one, either from CRK or someone else, and we will see very different results.
Not much weight with slow pushing but add some jerking around, twisting and leverages and I bet you could reach 250 pounds of force on a tiny pivot very easily.I'll admit I was a bit surprised to see the NIB knife slip that easily. Least that what it looked like as already mentioned. I thought it'd eventually slip off, but under a bit more weight. I don't put much credence in the spine whack.
I'm curious then if there's a way to figure about how much upward pressure or twisting action you'd have to do in your hand, like if your blade is stuck in something and you're trying to free it. I guess I'm not sure how much "weight" you can apply with just hand pressure.

I would like a test which applies forces from the edge, front and the sides and not only the spine. Only then one can know what knife is truely the tuffest.
I wouldn't buy a knife only for being the
spine whack king.
Who knows, maybe it splits it's scales apart from only slight side prying? What I'd buy for sure would be a knife which is toughest in all direction, with an emphasis in the direction which it would encounter during normal use. Am I the only one interested in such a test?
