My brother in law and I used my basic 9 to split some oak logs with a couple days ago. We did so by beating the spine extremely hard with a claw hammer.
This went on for over three hours and the blade did not break, even though we were hammering on the very tip of the knife most of the time. There are some chips taken out of the spine down the length of the blade, and the handle is split open about an inch in length from repeated blows to it. The knife took a serious beating and held up much better than I expected, once again. (I have done this before). We took pictures of the beating and I will post them when the activate my account here on the forums. I just subscribed to the premium membership so I can post pics.
