Maybe I should qualify that and say "near indestructible" knife. I have often heard people say that such-and-such a knife cannot be broken.
I take that to mean that a particular knife will not be chipped, bent out of shape or simply broken despite strenuous efforts to abuse it to the point of no return.
It is my humble opinion that some knives can be wonderfully made and earn the label "high performance knives" so as to be virtually indestructible, within reasonable limits. Of course, if one is determined to put "an end" to it, it will be broken, one way or another.
What I am saying is if a knife is just used in the normal course of events, meaning in hunting, skinning, chopping or whatever that calls for a knife, it won't break, chip, or be dulled easily.
Anyway, how does one arrive at a verdict where a knife truly earns the title "indestructible"?
