I see no point in testing a knife to the point of destruction when they are tasks that nobody uses a knife for. I could destroy any knife if I wanted to.
When I get a knife I use it when I get a chance for the tasks that I always use knives for. I recently picked up a Busse ASH-1 in a trade but unfortunately have not had a chance to go camping since but I may just take in the woods behind my house to chop some limbs and make kindling to see how it does.
This kind of thing is about it for me. I think the worst thing I do with knives is open tin cans which does tend to dull the point. Although I have not done it a tough one is to cut ice blocks for igloo construction, I have heard of a Randall 14 breaking while doing this task.
