[7k7k99]

test the number of open/close cycles any given folder will last?

I have been opening and closing my Kershaw Leek for three years now... (Whenever I am bored and able)... This thing is still working fine. I don't see what this would accomplish.

they should

I know that archery companies have machines to dry fire bows hundreds of times. They also use machines to test the limbs.

I wouldn't be surprised if knife manufacturers had some way of testing the strength of their locks.

I fail to see what would be accomplished for manufacturers to give knives to Bladeforum members to "test".

 

[Dijos]

I think that they have machines to do just that.

Well, since that is what we do mostly while reading the forums, it would be a win-win for both

this is mainly a 'tongue in cheek post. [boring day]

I think it's a great idea! They should pay us $50 an hour. After all, we're the experts. Let's see, if we play with knives for, say, 16 hours a day ...

There is clause in my contract that stipulates confidentiality for the company and prevents me from mentioning their name. Let me just say there are companies who recruit bladeforums members and the monetary rewards for conducting the test are substantial.

Yeah, that was just my retarded joke

Doesn't spyderco occasionally send a knife out on the passaround? They have a good reputation for listening to fans. Their forum is almost a springboard for new ideas.
