Okay so here we go again. I have been following the thread on blade forums. Since my Green Beret Destruction test was mentioned by the tester this is a fair response on my part.
The tester has started to move into other things now like driving the knife into some sheet metal and cutting open a can of food. The people there are now like " what a great knife" The testing the tester is showing is very simple stuff most any fixed blade can do. Since he has moved into these type of things I felt it was time for a response.
So I duplicated his very easy tests using a 15 dollar GI tanto, And wouldn't you know it, it passed.
In the video I duplicate his tests with the 15 dollar CS GI tanto. In the end I do something I would not do with the CRK Green Beret. I baton all the way through a 2x4 using the now famous 3lb hammer. Demonstrating the toughness of the GI tanto, a property the Green Beret (a combat knife ) lacks.
So keeping it on a performance level the GI tanto can do everything the 300 dollar Green Beret can do plus a hell of a lot more because of the high level of toughness it possesses.
