yeah, but the advatage of a simple carbon steel knife is that, if done properly, it can easily be resharpened in the field. It would just be interesting to see how longit will keepon cutting before it needs a touch up,especially compared to some of the "super' stainless knives and how easy it is to sharpen....real world test, my man. The W2 fighter that i just finished takes about 4-5 strokes on each side on an arkansas stone and it's good to go.No I have not tested any knife spitting 4x4s not using a baton. Thats the way I
always spit wood in the field.
I performed cutting tests through out the video.I test the knife out of the box as is and see what it can endure.
I do have a SOG tiger shark and I may test it since I have never used it for anything else it is still in the box.
I would like to test the trail master it is expensive so it will have to be at a later date.
