I should have mentioned this already but some of you already know I bet. There is a really cool site where the site owner tests all kinds of different knives to see how tough they are. I am able to sit back with a cup of coffee and totally be entertained for a good 45 minutes just watching this guy test a knife's toughness until it either fails or passes the destruction test.
Check it out, its quite entertaining.
www.knifetests.com
To see one of the toughest, find the "Busse Fusion Battle Mistress FFBM" video.
I own a Chris Reeve green beret knife and I love it. the knife did really poorly on his testing. It failed when he tried to cut a 2x4" piece of wood in half by hammering the blade through with a steel hammer. The knife broke on the spine. My knife, however, has not broken yet as I have not felt the need to bang it with a mallet.

It's very nice
I'm definately going to order a knive from you when I have the money
If you want, I can introduce you to a dutch knive forum. There are a lot of knive makers there. I think they will appreciate your work.
Missed this, or not interested?

It's a shame daggers are illegal here. I love the symmetrical shape.

It looks medieval. Very...no I mean extraordinarily beautiful.

It's just a piece of steel..
But that's just amazing!
