One maker has already generously donated a knife for testing with a :thumbup:
I will only say who at the intro of the test.
Other requests are pending.

It's obvious who does and doesn't like it, what I can't understand for the life of me is why bother making yourself look like a jerk with the bashing and rude comments. If you think Noss' paranoia is an excuse to bash him and what he does you are wrong. You can easily state your dissproval with humility and maturity, rather then behaviour that deserves a swat on the ass and no dessert.

I hope to get it tested and have it online after the first.
I may test the 81 since it has a saw. I am also testing The SOG jungle primitive
that has a saw as well. I want to see what saws can do wood,sheet metal ect.
I may test both Glocks for a comparison.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!
Want to keep yourself uber secret, eh ?
Your "testing" didn't prove much, wasn't scientific and was boring as all get out.
I look forward to someone getting a knife testing site and doing it RIGHT and doing it without any juvenile secret identity crap.

Put up or shut up big mouth. You make a testing site.
I had my suspicions about you from your absurd jeep "story" (love those brackets, don't you?)
Just what the internet needs, another big mouth know it all. Maybe you should make a smart ass remark website instead, everyones just can't get enough of your "opinion".

Mind posting your personal info like your full name, email and private telephone number? It's only the internet.
While I don't think this drama has made a positive impact on either party's reputation, I think it's pretty understandable to want to keep that sort of info private, especially a personal telephone number.

Not saying it should be posted HERE..........but he does have a site, and he IS asking for donations......and he DOES seem to think his torture testing has some merit.........so why not post something on their site?
What's up with Freddy Kruger and Jason from Friday the 13th? Is that how they expect to be taken seriously !?!?!?!?!?!??
Mike Perrin has the right idea. I second it.

i dont blame noss for not posting his public info. every post that somehow can be connected to him erupts in a "hey lets all gang up on noss" free for all. maybe its jealousy, i dont know, i mean, no one else among all the noss haters does more then rant and cry their opinions as to why noss is bad and his site is bad and oh look at what noss said today, blah, blah, blah. noss is doing what he is doing, and its a hell of a lot more then most people would do. and if he wasnt on to something, either by accident or by purpose, then he wouldnt be getting the traffic on his site he is getting, or such a surge of interest in every post about him on this site.

I've seen tons of internet review sites that ask for donations (and get them) and don't post anything more than their email, which I'm sure isn't their personal email (that they use to email friends and family with). There's no reason why anyone should have to post their private information on the internet.
there you go with that jealousy stuff ........please tell us why anybody would be jealous of noss.

Is it so hard to abstract what you see in his video to real world use? I figure if the knife doesn't chip out when he's chopping concrete, then chances are that it will not chip out when cutting softer materials such as wood, cardboard, etc (note I say chances are, not definitely). If the knife chops 2x4's well, I'd imagine it will chop real world wood ok as well. Yeah, I'm gonna make those assumptions and while I won't believe them 100%, I won't know any better until I do it myself.
Comparatively, if I see one knife chopping much better than the other, then chances are it will be better at chopping in real world use as well. Would you say, even though you saw the Strider chopping poorly, that you wouldn't be able to say it chops worse than the other knives just because it's not real world usage?
Just how far does he have to go to do a real world test? Would he have to mimic your techniques? Because that will make a difference. If I really wanted to see what a knife could do, I'd do it myself. Watching it on video, even if it is real world, won't necessarily mean it'll work out that way for you. I think the videos are good to make observations from, though.
Maybe I just haven't browsed around enough, but how come I didn't see this sort of criticism when Swamp Rat chopped concrete with their Camp Tramp (or was it a Battle Rat?) and did a destruction test with their D2? I thought those tests were pretty neat, too.

How about some basics like:
How much lateral pressure could a knife take? Could it support 250 lbs ? If yes, great. If not, then we'd have a short video.
I could see where someone might need a knife to support their body weight in various scenarios.
How would the edge hold up after cutting his metal folding chair in 1/2? Is it salvageable?
How many cinder blocks could it chop thru before sustaining a chip?
Does extreme cold affect the flexibility?
How many cuts thru hemp rope could it perform?
If I had a hammer afield, I'd use THAT to bust thru the patio stones......
Instead, how would it hold up to batoning with a wooden mallet or bowling pin? I bet the hammer is causing as much or more damage to the structural integrity as what they're beating it into.
At the very least, standardize what they ARE doing so a better "apples to apples" comparison can be made.
Oh, and lose the corny costumes. Unless they really don't want to be taken seriously at all....
