Video: I May Have Gone Too Far

Thefinaledge said:
Not a hater or upset. I personally think the slippery handle arguement is stupid to begin with. That said his reverse grip stabs with the pinkie against the guard were real stabs. Into the tree traditional grip were not. I'm simply calling foul. They were not(and under those conditions probably shouldn't be) "real" stabs. And on the 5th stab you can see his hand was climbing up for disaster. As well as the chops, more force, at about 5:09 on the final chop his hand has slipped badly. Another swing, or a couple of more stabs and game over. I am just pointing out his point was only proven because he rigged it to be. He had to stop after 5 stabs. He came close on the last chop. Do I hate beckers, no. Do I hate ka bar, no. Do I like detachable handles, no. He knows he was slipping. He knows he didn't stop because his point was proven. He stopped because he almost proved the other side was correct. Again stupid arguement to begin with. Moras are plastic or painted red. Bark rivers are intentionally smooth.

So, let me get this straight... you're calling BS on my test because I didn't hurt myself. My hand moved. But not to the point of injury. I reset my grip every time. As I would in normal use. I think you're just aggravated because I didn't get hurt. And, in all practicality, I felt the video was long enough with the footage it had. Why would I expect people to watch that for 10 to 15 minutes? I guess people like you who want to see idiots get hurt watch, and hope to see blood. Sorry to disappoint. I hope you get you bloodlust fulfilled somewhere else. Seriously, let it go.
 
Name calling and taunts should stop from all quarters. Next step will be warnings, then either thread lock or infractions.

Please discuss the video in a substantial manner, or just don't bother posting.

the original legend, repeated here and elsewhere is with a BK2, with mineral oil, into a 50 gallon steel drum, with "hammer stabs".

that he went beyond that, is another thing. bravo.

his last chop, which i measured to the pixel, was deeper than the rest. not bad. pretty respectable even with dry hands.

worst case scenario test. didn't end badly. what more do you want?

he's supposed to keep chopping til failure? not likely.

No, I guess I was just expecting some straightforward results in the posts. Like "I slipping to bad to continue on the stabs and chops." "But I could have stabbed reverse grip all day". It really came off as well whatever. Simply do not agree and tried to politely voice my opinion.

So BRING IT!

I deleted your pic, btw. I did that just to make you mad, because I really, really do not give one ounce of a crap what knives you have. No, I'm not at all jealous of them either. I'm not a collector.

I expect this to go no where really fast.

Nothing wrong with polite opinions.

Not agreeing with the REALITY that one sees, with their own eyes, is the very definition of DENIAL.

You'll probably accept this in time, and if you don't... your issues run far deeper, and I suspect you've always heard you have a problem with denial.

Your arguement ad hominem makes me suspicious.
Will you answer a polite question. Did you stop stabbing the tree because you were slipping? Did you stop chopping because at 5:09 about,because you were slipping too much down the handle of the knife? And if the answer to either question is yes, do you see how you claiming slipping isn't an issue is b.s.? I mean you had to stop because you were SLIPPING. I don't think the vid proves anything either way but.........

In absolute honesty, both questions answer no. I did not stop, because of slipping. If injury was going to happen it would've happened during the strikes that I performed. I know, without any doubt, that I could've gone on using the handles in that condition for a long period of time. I don't know what else to tell you. You simply do not want to believe me. Try it yourself.

the entire reason Becker handles are "smooth" is to prevent blisters, or at least help with that.

slippery? people might be thinking they need textured grips, but if you have the right shape, not so much.

Was going to bring that up. Some scales/handles will give you blisters ( or general soreness from digging/banging into hand by design) after 10-20 minutes of use if to grippy/sticky/design flaws. So having scales be smooth textured/slippery some times ain't such a bad thing. I've never had a BK fly out of the hands or gotten blisters from use/broken one.

Gotta say, got some good laughs from.nuto here.:foot: :D Not trying to enable. He be kiddin I'm guessing/or Lil to much drink tonight maybe.

Finaledge, prove CM wrong. Do your own testing and post if care to disprove this so much.
 
Well, we're at one infraction and two warnings. Next taunt or name call gets it locked. Your call, folks.
We do prefer to keep comments civil here in Becker. Otherwise, it goes to Snark or gets official attention.

I don't even know what this means...

I read "no steel"???

Are you challenging me to chop a tree with my bare hands?
