I guarantee I can destroy any knife made. Torches, demo, presses, shears, pipe wrenches, cheater bars, cryo, detempering, etc., etc.
Some may be easier than others.
I generally try to take my buying tips from labs, peers, and other professionals, not some unknown dude with a questionable agenda in a paintball mask performing pointless destructive testing. It looked to me like he wanted to break the GB Knife he was "testing."
If I need a prybar, an axe, or a hammer, I will try to use one. For the weight and bulk, I think the GB Knife is about as strong as a knife can be, and still be a multi-functional tool. I guess they could make a sharpened three pound crowbar for destructive testing.
I have misused a GB Knife, repeatedly, and it has never failed. I trust mine with my life.
Chris Reeve and Bill Harsey are some of the biggest perfectionists I know, and they understand what is at stake when we select and carry their products. FWIW, I don't think anyone on the planet builds a better knife than they do. Their peers would seem to agree.
If you want to buy a $10 knife to bet your life on, have at it.
