Nice post Pit!

I think what this shows most is that geometry is king. The reason the SAK does so well at this, and cuts so well is because it is thin.

Personally, for me, a knife that I intend to actually cut stuff with (which is all of them) 1/8" thick max for me.

But, everyone is different. I chose that because cutting is top priority for me. Even though thin knives take abuse much more than people think, abuse is more of a litmus test, and not something I actually need to do in the woods.
