Hey all, some of you read my earlier post about finally finding the knives I am most happy with in the outdoors. Well, next I had to figure out what to do with the others I had laying around. I really wanted them gone, I dont know why, i just did. I thought about selling them but no one local wanted em so I said screw it, im breakin them! I basically just wanted to see what they could take. This is NOT suppose to be a "this brand is better than this one" type thing. I hate all these knives so I really didnt care which did best. I also dont care about the waste of money, my own stupidity for buying without trying. I wish I had vids but no camera. The three knives were a Bark river Bravo 1, fallkniven A2 and an Rtak 2. First thing I did was held them up at face level and dropped them point first onto concrete. Only one to have any damage was the rtak with a slightly bent tip, which was a shock to me, i thought the fallkniven would have chipped. Next I went out to my driveway which is rock and did a series of stabbing and chopping right into the rock. All the knives dulled with fallkniven being the only one to actually look damaged. The final little test, which had no real world comparison at all was to take the knives and bash them together, edge to edge! Overall, the Bravo 1 did the best, followed by the Fallkniven and then the rtak. The barkie and fallkniven were both taking huge chunks out of the rtak even when I switched hands (im right handed). The barkie was also chipping the fallkniven but never the other way around. Hope this didnt make anyone sick for wasting knives but maybe helped someone looking at any of these. Obviously the last test was stupid, but I figured the first could represent dropping the knife, and the second is what can happen when battoning through wood on that final blow. All in all, their all pretty tough though! Thanks
