Someone had posted a similar thread on another forum and figured it would be interesting to post here.

John, do you ever get nervous when people post heavy use of ya knives, be it battoning through some knotty wood or prying a stump apart etc ?
 
If he does, he shouldn't.

I have distorted the edge of a well known production knife and flattened the spine of a custom knife, but no matter how hard I beat on any of John's knives, there is no damage. A little cleanup with Brasso and they look like new. :thumbup:
 
I am still waiting for my first JK knife from John, a Riverwoods Companion with desert ironwood scales which will hopefully be ready in September. I don't plan on using it for anything my axes, mauls or sledgehammers are used for but I guess it's nice to know it could handle it.
 
I don't think he wants to see what I do with the #2 Kephart he made for me a while back.
This thing is a beater/user.
:thumbup:

Not at all! My knives may not be the prettiest, but I have full confidence that they will stand up to hard use. I`ll track down the photo of bearthedog`s 3/32" straightback Kephart, showing it bent while pounding it though a stump. It sprang right back straight.

Oh I would love to see that shot. Especially a Kep.
