I took the knife to 32 degrees and it sprung back to true. It may have gone farther and sprung back to true, but we did not test it for "return to true" after the 32 degree mark. Also realize that this knife tested out at 59.2 rockwell.

You should also realize that I park in at just about 300lbs and pulling just on the handle (no pry-bar) I could only get it to bend to 20 degress.

With the 4ft pry-bar and one of our guys coming in at 250 lbs doing the bend developed arm tremors that lasted for almost an hour after the photo shoot.

As I told you earlier, you will simply be amazed at the toughness and performance of this knife.

Is there a DFLE in the Yard's near future?

Working on it

Here are the final pics of our extensive, destructive testing! The first pics show the enormous lateral strength of the Dog Father! We bolted a 4-foot long solid steel bar to the tang of the Dog Father and then bent it all the way to the floor without breaking! The knife remains unbroken! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />







The pic below shows the cutting and edge holding horsepower of the Dog Father!. . . We cut over 300 pieces of 1inch hemp rope without dulling! Our deep proprietary heat treatment and cryogenic treatment sets our SR-77 apart from any other S-7 blades on the market. We’ll be more than happy to perform a LIVE side-by-side cutting demonstration against ANY other maker or manufacturer with their version of S-7! The Dog Father will spank them! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



The pics below show the Dog Father during and after chopping through 2 concrete blocks! You can see the chunks flying in the first pic! The other pics show the edge AFTER the concrete buffet! The extremely minor edge deformation was easily fixed with very little sharpening!








Enjoy,
