IKBS Torture Tests

[dweikum]

Hi all, I hope this is the right place to post this...

Flavio Ikoma and Rick and Rudy Lala (Korth) did some torture tests on the IKBS (Ikoma Korth Bearing System) using one of Flavio's Guardian Angel Flippers, and were good enough to film it for us.

Here's a quote from Flavio:

I guess some people are alredy familiar with IKBS, since several makers are using it right now, and that is the reason we decided to make this test videos, we are really thankful people rely on IKBS to improve their work and with these videos we would like to show by video proof, that IKBS is a reliable system and that it will withstand hard use without problems.

I hope you enjoy the videos, we put a lot of work on them, but it was a lot of fun too .

Thanks all costumer and knifemakers for believing in IKBS

Here is a short video clip with most of the tests we made, in order to get a decent shot we had to make the tests over and over again and this shows pretty much everything the folder had to endure:

Hope you enjoyed these as much as I did? Feel free to drop by our table at Blade Show (18-A) and see the actual knife used, and flip for yourself.
