If your knife breaks in half when you need it the most "for life" may be a matter of minutes. . . . . . . or seconds.
The 2 striders I saw broken like that on the internet were not in "life saving" use.
The one guy used his SmF as a handle for his car jack...it broke during the jacking up of his vehicle.
The other guy stuck his folder's blade in the top of the closet door space so he could do chin-ups with it, with all the weight going sideways on the blade.
So yeah, not even close to knife use or knife abuse.
The one was a job for a metal rod.
The other was a job for gym equipment.
Amazingly, they still got their blades replaced.
But not examples of how "real world use" makes the blades snap.
Not even close.
