I was looking at a couple of my knives the other day and got to thinking about lateral strength. What I was looking as specifically were the S5 and the WarDog. Now the S5 is 3/16 inch thick and the WD is .200 BUT it is a ffg whereas the S5 is a conventional sabre ground blade we are all used to.

Now Which one do you think would have the greatest lateral strength, meaning which one do you would think would break first if pried on sideways?

Now this thread isn't limited to just these two knives, but It's what I was thinking about at the time. Oh I guess I need to specify that the S5 is SR101 and the WarDog is INFI.

And YES, we all know that knives aren't pry bars. BUT we also know we all do pry with them.
