It's still working for me. I'm currently doing an in depth review of his new knives. Testing to destruction if it's possible. Here's a taster...

Okay, I am old and jaded - and have handled some jaw droppingly good knives. However you have piqued my interest with that new post M. Deval :)

Not long now, I'm putting it through everything I can think of that a survival knife might face and will be doing it. I just need to figure out where I can get hold of an old elephant and I'll be done.

I can't see where your going with this ? How can you review a " survival knife" unless you've survived with it?
If David Morrel had known Mark Hill was going to start creating knives a couple of decades later...hold on stop. It wasn't David who put the emphasis on the knife.....it was Teddy ?

Any road......how can You profess to be able to say.....this knife.....yes ....?

Because I can put it through the same series of jobs that you'd expect a survival knife to do. They don't test seatbelts and airbags by sticking people in cars and driving off a cliff you know :lmao:

'Survival knife' is a bit of a misnomer anyway. It's hard use outdoorsmans blade.

'yawns' impressive answer.....abaht what I expected.......

Let's get down to it......it's not the knife....(which helps) it's knowledge & experience.....

Survival is a word that could mean so many different scenarios and how long does somebody need to survive
.....could be a moment , a minute , a hour , day , week , month.....

Perhaps you should look back at how YOU. Word things.......?

I'm testing a knife. If you want a psychological discussion about survival and the linguistic interpretations. You may be tad disappointed.

I have to say that Jon, as a man who:

Travels internationally in inhospitable places using knives for real bush work
Has been medevaced from the Jungle when a jungle knife (that I had used) failed and laid him open
Has designed a highly respected bushcraft knife

..is one of the people who I believe has enough experience designing, using and understanding the failure of knives to be highly credible in his reviews.
