Guys the Bravo failed because it is not a very good knife for hard use. The $30 Glock knife out performed it by a huge margin. Bark Rivers quality is just not that good and thie knife failed because it is just not a good design. Face it...the knife sucks.

durrrr, it peeled the apple ok....

While these tests may not be "practical" I find them fascinating. While I generally wouldn't do these things to a knife in the field it's good to know how far you can push the envelope before it will fail. I'm not a big BRKT fan myself; mostly their style and "trade dress" isn't my cup of tea. That said I have a Gunny and an Aurora and I love them both. They belonged to my dad and since he passed I keep them to remind me of him. But I wouldn't use them that hard to be safe.

And squeegees are for washing windows, but on 9/11, one had to be used as a prybar and a cutting tool.

BTW ... Texas law limits blade length to 5.5", from handle to tip so, again ... I ask you ... Under 5.5" blade at under $160 street ... What is your best and highest recommendation for a Bushcrafting and Survival knife that will handle all tasks well and endure ... ergos ... sheath ... maintenance, etc. ?? What would be your number-one opick if YOU had to trust your life to a blade that does not exceed $160 or 5.5" blade length ?? Need a little help, here ... Scandi is preferable .

I watched this vid because I was giving serious consideration to stretching my budget for a quality bush-crafting (& survival) blade, that would last a lifetime. ...
Question: What knife in this class and for this (maximum!) price would be superior with regard to function and endurance (longevity) ?? ... For less than the ~$160 street price of the Bravo-1, which knife (or knives) are your best recommendation ? I currently am using Moras and, yeah ... I could buy more than 10 for this cost.

I can't think of any situation where I would put that kind of lateral pressure on the front inch of the Bravo I. It probably will not occur in the lifetime of using this knife as a knife. I think that viewers should keep this in mind when watching these videos. The Bravo I didn't fail because of any flaw in manufacturing. It failed because of the extraordinary leverage pressure that was applied to the front inch of the blade.

you are a moron. this preforms extremely well under "normal" circumstances. and the harder stainless steels preform even better. just not a very good test. take it in the woods and i'm positive the bravo will preform very well.

Hey Noss4, did you not have a vid up at some point wherein you made an upside-down fire? For some reason I thought it was in some of the busse field test vids, but now I'm not even sure if I saw it on your channel, or somewhere else... Could you clarify this? Thanks... :)
