If you have an issue with the story, please PM me your email address, and I'll see about getting the guy to contact you, that way you can take up the validity of his story with him personally. Or maybe TS would like to step in and assist with vetting.
If it's an issue about whether or not someone was hanging off of one of my knives, without it breaking, here's a video I just shot. I weigh 190 lbs and that's about 50 lbs in the ruck. The knife I'm hanging off of is one of the rejects from this run of Colubris. The only difference between knife I'm hanging off of and an actual finished Colubris is strictly cosmetic. I could slap handles on it, sharpen it, and immediately start using it. This knife is actually thinner, shorter, and not as fat as the knife in the story. It also has more and larger holes drilled in the tang, which means it's not going to be as strong. Furthermore, the knife in the story was driven in at at an angle, so the load wasn't entirely lateral as it is on the knife in the video. Lateral loads are what snap blades (that and shock). Knives simply aren't strong that way. Hope you enjoy the video.
