  • Fallknivens are made for utility/emergency survival use (army knife) and keep an edge, its not intended to be continually abused like urs, its mainly a utility knife that will not need reprofiling like the busse's will (if they deform enough they will neeed to be sharpened to restore the edge)

  • But Fallkniven says they have the best stainless steel knives in the world! What is a 6mm thick pry-bar style knife made for, if not hard use??!

  • Keep on ruining them and they will keep making them. Alot of money wasted but at least its not mine! However it is good to see the abuse it will take. I doubt I will ever do it to my A2. Good vid BTW.

  • @mahiigun1 why?

  • @out5yder I just seen your other post when you completely fucked the A2 on rocks chopping wood, you should be banned from handling any knife, at least expensive ones anyway.

  • blunt side of a axe/hatchet serves as a hammer..

  • huh? whats the point of this vid? If i were in survival situation i would use a rock to break open a peanut and hammer in a nail...instead of damaging my knife

  • omg!

    INFI does not work well in thin blades with very low edge angles, even if used with moderate care. VG-10 does. I don't mean tomatoes and bread. I mean common tasks like whittling and notching in medium to hard woods.

    I do agree that VG10 seems inappropriate for this kind of knife. It emphasizes the weaknesses of the steel while not utilizing any of its strengths.

    I see. We have different methods of convexing. I use Japanese waterstones, and I do not convex by thickening the edge itself. I set the edge at a known angle first and create the convexity by completely smoothing away the bevel shoulders.

    I don't convex by thickening the edge. I convex by thinning everything behind the edge.
