hi, you guys , i often linger on the www.knifetests.com and talk with people on that forums , so i wondering a SR knife in the D-test will be cool and good to the SR knife company itself. right? As i knew that a FFBM survived and how about a SR knife can take under the Slamming of the mighty Hammer?:D
 
I have wanted to see how a larger zone hardened Rat would test for a long long time. I had the idea of getting someone to put up a knife and get a bunch of members to donate $5, $10, $20 bucks to cover the cost. Maybe a bunch of PayPal gift payments. I would like to see an M6 or M9 go toe to toe with the mighty Noss. I would pay $20 bucks to see a Swamp Rat be the top rated blade to ever go through the Knifetest.
 
That's a cool idea. I really like to see what these things can do without having to subject my blade to the abuse.

He did a larger Busse - that thing was impressive!
 
cool. i think the boss donate one to noss is an better idea, right?
the FFBM that make a records of 7 swords on the web site was donated by the BOSS, why not donate one SR knife to promote the goods and fame ?
i think this is a good way to ads! donating a knife to the "Notorious:thumbup:" NOSS is a proof of having solid confidence .

before the d-test of FFBM ,i even do not know the name of Busse combat CO., so donating one to noss is Generous way of advertisement.

tons of thanks to the big boss Jerry for donating FFBM to noss that watching those vids take me lots of fan and Entertainment. thank you .

I want to see a regulator or dogfather. good luck hurting either on of those. A RMD and ratweiler or M9 would also be sick.
 
ok , ok , now we already have two Generous men who wanta pay 20 bucks to see the death sentence of SR knife, and anyboy else wants join in ?

i also wanta put some dollar in , but live in china and do not have Convenient tool to send money in , what a pity.
(last year , when i buy a busse knife , from a dealer here ,that sending money to him costed me lots of hours to do a so called "money Gram", time consuming !)

and who wants be an Anchor to count or collect money and then send these "evil" money ?

thank you hearty guys out here for letting my dream to be fulfill.

I am guessing any donations would come from fans of his, I can't see any reputable knife maker donating a knife to a guy in a hockey mask set on destroying the blade.

I believe you're right, I don't remember any mention of manufacturers donating their products. I don't think I would want to watch someone take one of my creations that I poured my heart and soul into and beat it with a hammer for an hour.

:D LOL :D
Wow, that was a good one! "Heart and soul" ... into a production knife!!! :p


But in all seriousness, the only manufacturers I can imagine being upset about Noss' 'tests' are those that destroy a knife which they bragged about as "ultra tough" or "built like a tank" and priced as "high-end" only to see it crumble and snap faster than a $20 CTD bowie (not mentioning any names).

Rat (now ESEE) sales shot up after the Rat-4 vid was posted. How do you think the Bussekin or even HI faired after their samples were subjected to the hammer? Do you think anyone at Mora even cared when their Clipper was pounded on? It game me more respect for Mora knives than any un-verified description of performance ever could.

The more videos of these tools in action, the better - MUCH better over desk-top "reviews" and excessive hyperbole from other "user" videos.

If Eric sends Noss one for "testing", I'll throw in some dough.



Edit: Oh, and btw, Jerry donated knives for the same sort of treatment to Cliff Stamp (Noss' predecessor in knife limit-testing, man do i miss that guy's info...)

Yes, those "tests" prove a lot :rolleyes:, I'd be more excited about this if it was a meaningful scientific test, with somebody who at least tried to make the tests the same from knife to knife, repeatable, followed basic scientifc method, that most learn around 7th grade. In this kind of test a .5 in thick knife sharpened to 60 degrees at about 55hrc would get 10 Swords, 3 ninja stars and a shotgun.

what is the Score of Specific blade is not important , but how to decipher the tests are more meaningful .

look at the test of skinny ash1 , we can get lots , At least infi is tough , right?
but how about SR101 ?
 
I think it would be a better comparison if somebody would do a test with more control, (you could do it even) for example instead of swinging a hammer to hammer the knife through a metal pipe, drop say a 10 lb weight from directly above (a fixed position) it from exactly 10in high every time, controlling angle and force. For the horizontal load stress test (where he stands/jumps on the blade stuck in the wall) would be much more informational to load it up with weight, stuck in the wall/vice the same amount of force, you would also be able to calculate the force on the knife (there will be more force on the knife if the 50 lbs weight is on the end of the handle than if its at the base of the blade, etc. Of course it would be a lot better if the sample size is larger than one, since the knife being tested could be in the top 1% of knives made (strongest, best heat treat) or it could be in the bottom 1% (poor heat treat, bubble in the steel, etc) Imagine if the busse tested in knife tests was in the lower 10% of that busse model, and the average busse in that model would have done significantly better.
 
i really wanta see the D-tests on SR knife , if SR knife can take lots of hammering with a resonable tickness on spine , i will buy some SR knives, cause i like the price and rusting feeling .

I think that anyone who wants to wreck their knife should go ahead and do it. You don't need an attention seeker in a mask to do it for you.
 
man, you do not know the knife policy in china , the customs do not let big knife in , i wanta test one , can you help me for grabbing one ?
thanks.

Why wreck a good knife? Anything can be broken. Hardest I use my Swamp Rats is throwing, prying stumps apart, and I have cut steel banding.

If the scumbags in customs won't let you have a big one, why not get a smaller one.

I have no suction with the chinese customs, so I doubt I would be of any help for you to get one.
