Partial tang knives have been known to fail under normal survival conditions .
For example, prying boulders . Everyone who is anyone knows , when youre in a survival situation , you normally have to pry boulders .. it goes without saying .
Batoning logs .. a partial tang knife will fail sooner than a full tang knife when batoning logs , if it doesnt , then the test obviously wasnt done right , in a surival situation and in combat situations , you HAVE to baton logs , I seen it on youtube . No one would lie about combat training in dark spec ops would they ?
Pericing body armor and slash / stab resistant clothing .. partial tang knives fail at this .. they just do ,( so do full tang knives but we are not going to go there , we dissing partial tangs here )
ok sarcasm off ...
