Some of the Bladeforums folks were shouting "intentional abuse" (and thley were right), but many were also defending the guy for wanting to test the limits of his knife, and Jerry sure seemed to have no problem with replacing it.
. That's a good idea!! Maybe my whole collection needs to be severly abused and replaced.........lol nah I wouldn't do that.....would I?
The funny part is, I bet the knives would break you before you could break them. I'm starting to learn that I actually like the knives I abuse MORE than the ones I don't. The knife that gets abused has done something none of the others ever will.
My current example is that I've picked up the habit of opening beverage containers (pop cans) with my SOD. You stab it (carefully) and twist. You can make the hole any size you want, plus if you put a little vent in the top of the can it flows much more smoothly.
While this isn't extreme abuse, it doesn't fall under the category of "normal use" either (but maybe it does?).
Really, if I searched high and low for the worst job a knife could do, chances are the SOD would just laugh at me, and I would be really sore after trying.
