STRIDER BT Destruction Test Video completed.

I love the tests and the masks, interesting stuff. Keep up the good work. I'm dying to see the dark ops interceptor get tested, that one is going to be interesting. I'd like to see another of the cold steel fixed blades get tested.

As for a folder, I'm not to sure what I want to see tested, but hopefully you come up with something interesting.
 
already.

did you know that some have made millions just by having regestered urls that other people could want and then by selling the url to them?.........another name for this is domain selling ...........look it up.

thats big business now, buying domainnames that others might need better (and pay alot for)
 
Again folks insults creating fake quotes I never posted. and wanting to start a flame war.

I had to respond to this one because of the fake quote.

This points out rats true intension's

Like I said before. . . You need to work on your comprehension. That was obviously a parody of your idiotic & oft repeated statements.

BTW. . . "Intension" does not mean what you think it does. You were grasping for the word "Intention". They mean vastly different things.
 
Good stuff. Looks like that knife wasn't designed to cut, but designed to be incredibly strong and pointy. Maybe Strider designed it with cutting ability as a secondary trait.

I'd also like to see another Cold Steel tested. In particular, a Carbon V fixed blade. I wonder if it'll be brittle compared to the other knives like the Becker BK9 was, since Carbon V is rumored to have been made by Camillus.

The masks were a little odd at first, but they add humor and uniqueness. Gives you some face protection and anonymity as well, which should be completely understandable for anything posted on the internet.

Maybe work on your spelling, since some people like to point that out and use as fuel. I could go to any internet forum (including this one) and point out tons of people who are poor at spelling. I, personally, couldn't care less, but it does detract from you and gives people one more thing to attack.
 
Ok, I just finished watching the comlete test of the Strider, here are my observatioons.

critique:

1. When you batoned the strider you did it with a 2x4 instead of a hammer like you did with the other test knives. When you did start using a hammer it did not take long for the strider to self destruct.

2. You did not baton it into plywood like you did to the other test knives. Plywood is much worse than plank.

3. Tip test was into weak soft chair metal and drawer metal. Good test, but does not show pryng strength. Anyone will tell you that you can pond most good knives into 1/8 inch steel which is much stronger than the stuff you used.

4. Not using the spine of the knife as a hammer to tighten and loosen the vice like you did the other knives. Again, I'd bet the strider would have failed based on how quickly it did fail when you started hammering on it.





Results:

1. The strider is the worst chopper I have seen. I have had smaller knives chop better than that.

2. Tip penetration is as bad as I have ever seen. I think you did as much blunt force trauma to that chair as you did penetration.

3. The knife had trouble cutting cardboard right from the start because of it's rediculously thick edge.

4. You batoned it into a brick tip first, which is it's strongest area. And the metal chipped off in a small 1 mm layer. The way it chipped is nteresting. Shows me what I have suspected. That there is no direction grain strength. I call that SUPER BRITTLE. Not good

5. You then hammer it into the chairs side hinges and partway into the second one the blade self destructs.

I'd bet that bushman and the Kabar Bowie would have taken more. I don't think the strider would have survived the initial hammering that you gave the other knives and you chose not to give this one. If you count the time that it took for the strider to self destruct when you started hammering on it with a hammer on the spine versus how long the other knives took to fall apart whe you started hammering n them with a hammer on the spine, I think you will find that it rated much worse than the other knives.
 
I don't own any Strider knives. I've always thought they were well-designed, well-made, and rock-solid. I think I'm gonna get one now.

Were I the marketing department at Strider, I would get a link to those videos up on my site ASAP.

I like the chair destruction best. Very often, when I have to sit in one of those things for hours at a time, I have fantasies about doing something like that. Now, I know which knife to use.

:thumbup: I think he changed the testing method up a little in favor of the Strider, but my guess is that it was probably unintentional. I think if he had tested it the exact same way he did the Bushman, it would have broken in minutes.

What it did withstand is exactly what a thick, chisel-like piece of well-tempered but brittle stainless should be able to. I'm not disappointed, nor do I think the Strider performed badly for what it is, but I'm not surprised or impressed, either.

I'll tripple that theory, but I what do I know, I am fake:eek:
 
NOSS4:

Test a Masters of Defense knife, so we can see what the hype is all about!

Try the CQD Mark V or Nightwing with serrated spine.

The Mark V will be fun to test. You can test the pommel (designed for hammering). You can test the striker hilts (designed for prying and limited-penetration). It's double edged.

The Nightwing is in S30V, which isn't very common in tactical fixed blades. It has two very different edges that you can test in different ways, and has a reinforced point.
 
Another word on my Strider BT test

There has been so talk I didn't go a vice flex test. I wish I would have but I didn't that is just the way it is. People should perform their own tests.
Mine are not the final word on any knife. it is just one of many I hope to see.

In all my tests the are some questions unanswered on all knives The tests are what they are.

I said in the video this was my first tanto point and I wanted to see what this design could do. I had a lot of fun with the Strider. It is a great knife.

No knife is a all around super knife some will do better at a particular job.

If I was going out into the wilderness I would chose the Becker BK9 or the K-Bar 14 1/4 Bowie or Cold Steel Bushman.

If I was in a Urban enviorment Stone glass and Steel (Police, SAR team) I would chose the Strider BT.

I love the Strider and I will buy another on to test. It may be ? at a later date
then I stated in the video.

I will also buy one for my collection because you never know what will happen in this crazy world. I want to be ready.

3. Tip test was into weak soft chair metal and drawer metal. Good test, but does not show pryng strength. Anyone will tell you that you can pond most good knives into 1/8 inch steel which is much stronger than the stuff you used.


The chair was not soft it is fairly thick sheet metal. the bottom of the drawer is
thiner the sides however are double layered and it went through fairly easy.

as I said before perform your own tests for all of use to see.
 
since I still have half the blade I will place the tip in the vice and use a large crescent wrench on it. to see how it does ?

I will have it posted tomorrow morning.
 
I now have the video posted. part 8 tip www.knifetest.com

I placed the broken half of the blade in a vice and used a large crescent wrench
on it.

There was a small chip that occurred on the concrete portion of my test.
so it may have added to the tip easily breaking.

I will note though the Cold Steel bushman suffered a large chip midway on the blade and was still able to survive a lot of flexing.

Anyways I did it. It is now available for debate.
 
It's probably a good thing you didn't do the vice first like you did with the Bushman. A lot of Strider lovers would have been furious.

That I do not doubt.

corrected:
that I doubt I missed the do not part the first time.

I bet the server would have gone down. That would have been a flamewar for the ages.
