Honestly, I did read about it in a magazine (Knives 2004) and I felt shame for wanting to emulate it even before I posted the idea. Even when I read about it in the magazine I knew that the chances of ever actually doing that were slim, as it would take much longer to cut through the door with any size knife than it would to drown. However, it did make me wonder if I could make a knife that could do it. I'd like to be able to make that kind of knife just in case I can ever think of a reason to have a knife like that. This is more of an academic question than a practical one. I'm honestly a little suprised to see people here asking "why would you need a knife that could do that?" Why would anyone need an automatic, when lots of knives can be opened almost as fast? Why would anyone want a knife with a linen micarta handle when canvas micarta is just as good? Why bother with damascus, when reguar steel cuts as well? Why climb mt everest? Because automatics are fun, linen micarta looks nice, damascus is cool, and because it's there. So to those of you who ask, "Why would I need a knife that can cut through a car door?" I ask, "why not?" Practicality aside, why would anyone need a gigantic freakin' damascus blade? Certainly not to chop wood. Your turkey knife, or whatever, is every bit as useless as a plain little knife that can cut through a car door.
Having said that, I really appreciate everyone's comments even the ones that make me feel even more shame
I mean, come on, is there anyone here who has never done something because it looked cool in a magazine?
