Looking for Cold Steel Demko Limited AD10 hard use testing info

Any hard use examples or testing done would be appreciated. I never could get the custom ad 10 and this seems pretty close. With GSM having taken over I'm reluctant to spend this much money on a knife that I'm not sure of as a long lasting tool. I'm brand new here and I haven't been able to find a thread about it if there is already one.
 
This is the 3V Ti LE :


About as tough as a folder can be made . But none of the AD10 are far behind . Even the "Lite " version , much cheaper .

Same goes for any of the 4 Max .

What are you concerned about doing that might break these knives ?
 
you'd have to want to break it, to break it..and it wouldn't be easy. I've watched joe x struggle to break lesser cold steel folders. I have no reason to suspect this one wouldnt hold up longer.
 
Thanks y'all, I don't have any crazy hard use planned I just like knowing the approximate limits of a knife I'm going to carry. Based on the joe x and other hard use vid on the base ad10, I don't think I should be worried anymore lol. I think I will try and get my hands on one, already got a deal I'm lookin at.
