I agree with AtA. If you really want to do a stellar test, you have to invest way more money that you probably want to.

Also, it depends on what you want to know? Destruction tests are overdone. Who cares when or if it breaks. The warranty will cover it. So don't worry about that, plus, like AtA already said, destruction tests have been done. If you want to know about edge holding, their will definitely be differences among CS and SYKCO, but remember even if you compare the SOD and 711, there will be differences because they're different steels. Chopping and slicing and point strength might be where you want to start though.

Here's the deal, start with sharpness and edge holding. Test how both blades cut the same delicate material. Then do a chop off with, say for example, 2x4s. Then see if they still cut the same delicate material as before. Then if you want, to you can test the tip strength, but both the recon scout and 711 are hefty, so it shouldn't be much of a test. You also might want to know which knife has better ergonomics. Keep in mind your comfort level as you chop.
