Thanks, MustardMan. My SOD was obviously heavily damaged during the testing, along with a number of other knives (almost 20). But I now know FOR SURE which ones I can rely on when the poop hit the fan. And out here, it’s not if the poop hit the fan, it’s when.

You can buy a fancy knife that will fail when you need it, or a tough knife that won’t, all for about the same price. So where’s the decision? I’m at a loss to explain this.
