Cutting too much material over time while helping save a dude from a plane crash while in Civil Air Patrol
the blade snapped back and a good 1/4th of it broke off
Get an esee
How to snap a good knife: using it like a pry bar
^
cutting
not prying
That's pretty hard use friend
Plane harnesses, not seatbelts, are some pretty rugged materials
why not have a seatbelt cutter
it wasn't a seatbelt. It was about 5 to 10 times thicker than a seat belt
I've been in a cessna more than a few times
they aren't that thick
Wasn't a cessna
ohhhh boy
>implying cessna rules everything
super cereal now
Seatbelt cutters are still optimal
seriously, if you're doing search and rescue, get the right tools
Should be on your rescue kit at all times
It was impromptu friend
if we were actually intended to do rescue, we would have been fine
You used the wrong tool and your knife snapped
there are a lot of knives out there at $100 or less
A knife is a pretty decent multi-tool though. That's what they're intended to be. Cutters, choppers, whittlers, defense tools.
I thought a big name like Spyderco would stand up to it
Folders are fine 99% of the time.
So Franklin Armory staff at SHOT were instructed specifically to not talk to Karl and Ian
Old news
I know
Still hilarious
wait what
Never had a problem because I don't misuse them
you could buy a gerber LMF II if you want a "survival knife"
for under $100
My dude spyderco is fine and will take a lot of shit
That's asking a lot for any folder
CRKT
My brother had a good CRKT knife
it cut really well
if you want to drop $500 on a folder, Zero Tolerance or Microtech
