Look, I don't mean to criticize and my wife constantly reminds me that I'm old fashioned and should lighten up, so I guess I'm not always up to date with these things. I can understand if someone really wants the toughest knife out there, and good luck to them. It's a free country and if anyone wants to chop up some rocks go right ahead <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

All I'm saying is that I don't know if Dan tests his knives this way. And if he didn't, I wouldn't blame him. That's the "problem" I have with this Busse warranty - I can basically go and try to pry the tire off a rim and if the knife breaks Dan will replace it. I just don't think that's fair. On the other hand, if someone markets a knife as being tough as hell then people will try and prove him wrong... It's just not my thing - if it cuts well, has a good handle and a decent steel I'm happy. I'm far more interested in the different blade geometries than I am in the lateral strength of those blades.

Anyway, put 5 people in a room and you'll get 6 opinions.

Take care
