Many moons ago I was very lucky to take a class from a very wise woodsman named Mors Kochanski. The things he was able to do with a knife were amazing to me. He had a smallish wooden handled knife that he worked to death. I thought for sure he was going to smash that thing into a hundred pieces the way he beat on it. That knife was the now famous Mora. I even saw him drive it into a tree and stand on it.
Now if you can take a $10.00 knife drive it into a tree and stand on it shouldn't you be able to do that with a much more expensive custom? I think you should. Some people do not share my view on this. I really don't care. For me this is a pretty standard test for almost every knife I have tested. Enter my Sargent Model 1.
No real need for explanation. I beat it into a tree and put all 200lbs of corn feed Iowa goodness on it. Test passed.
That's how it should look like. Well done, Terry.

Thanks, this really makes people cringe.
ReplyDeleteGood test for a knife I agree.
ReplyDeleteCringe worthy, but the test yields confidence- agree with the process! Thanks Terry! VanGo
