      Exactly. That’s the first thing I saw. It’s a soft 2x4. If she went with the grain it would have gone through in two hits. But that she went against the grain and the knife survived, is impressive.

I ordered two of the QSP fixed blade Canarys, 1 of the Kansept Niko, and I just ordered 2 of these Schrades, 1 of each color. Just wanted to say that I find your work valuable, and actual purchases are happening as a result of your hard work! That hammer test on the OTF ... I was like yup gotta order one ! that was genius !
