I haven't watched the FFBM test videos on Noss' site, but I read the descriptions of the results of the "tests." Quite frankly I was amazed that the FFBM, let alone any knife, could handle the beating that Noss dealt out to it! I am afraid I must say that I WAS ok with the idea of never owning a Battle Mistress, but after reading about what Noss did to it and how it basically spat in his face and asked for more, I do not want a Battle Mistress, I NEED one!
