EMF,

Since Noss appears to have a FBM and a Dogfather lined up for testing, you should tell him to do a side-by-side (same time) test of:

Busse FMB

vs.

Scrap Yard - Dogfather

vs.

Swamp Rat - Battle Rat


I would love to see how these three stack up against each other in a side-by-side torture test.

Personally, I would like to see more emphasis on cutting tests and real world use "prior" to the destruction tests. His current cutting tests are a little simplistic and probably not very relavent considering it appears he uses factory edges for each knife. I think it is fair to comment on a knives factory edge. But, then each knife should be sharpened to a standard - variable per range in size of knife - smaller knives with a more accute cutting edge & larger knives with a slightly more obtuse edge - whatever so long as some standards are established.

.... On the other hand, maybe cutting tests should be left for someone else and let Mr. Destructo do his torture tests.
