Could a BK2 pass the Miller Bros Blades strength test?

[Pàdruig]

Shooting the BK2 with a .380 is always a better test:

Wow, I half expected the BK2 to catch the bullets and shoot them back. I guess I know not to shoot my BK2 now.

The primary purpose of a knife is to cut. It may be also called upon to whittle, scrape, split wood and even pry. Every design or just about everything that is designed involves compromise. The blade on my SAK is better at some things than my BK-2 ... the converse is also very true as well.

As others have mentioned, it's when you start straying too far from design criteria that things "fail."

My SAKs may fail at batoning firewood and prying while I would not first seek out my BK-2 to dig out a splinter.

I think the word "fail" gets perverted when the "test" is not aligned with design intent.

In other words, anything can be made to "fail" depending on the delta between its design intent and the testing criteria.

Yep. Well said.
