Just how much an HI blade can take?

I would add something relevant to this topic, but I beleive y'all have covered everything of importance.:thumbup:
 
A Chiruwa CAK will take whatever that's gonna be dished out. How many knives in the market is marketed as a prybar. It has been used to cut people out of cars when the jaws of life is not within reach too.
 
i note that the knife in the test was not a full tanged chiruwa angkhola, but he still was not able to break it at the tang/blade junction, tho it did break a bit back from it after extreme abuse. this is a good answer for those who for some reason think the HI 'rat' tail is somehow not desirable. i do not think any rational person would stick their knife in a vice and whack it with a 10lb maul until the tang bends way out of line and finally breaks after work hardening...

New to these knives but common sense dictates that anything made can be destroyed. I was completely nonplussed by the method of testing. I cringed when he started chopping away at that concrete block.

All this test has managed to do is impress me more with the overall quality of these knives. :thumbup:

In real life you could chop, pry and bash a fence, shed or deck into pieces. Common enough use, I imagine. You could probably cut through the roof of a car to extract somebody if the doors were smashed in. I suppose it might come up. But I've never in my life needed to put something in a vice and beat it to death with a sledge hammer. Not in the back yard. Not camping. Not even when Odin bade me bring bagels to the Fire Giants. They can take a great deal of hard use and even abuse. I think you would have to try to break one. I mean really try. I'm not worried about the strength of my big WWII. Or even the strength of my little siru.

Off topic, I know - but my life will be incomplete if I do not find out what Surtr's favorite flavor of bagel is...
