Great site by the way.
1. I would vote to see the following KAI USA LTD blades tested:
A. Kershaw Outcast http://www.kershawknives.com/productdetails.php?id=167
Their statements: "The Outcast Bush Knife features a big D-2 tool-steel blade for wear resistance and superior toughness"
B. Zero Tolerance 0100 http://www.kershawknives.com/productdetails.php?id=7
Reputed to be one of the toughest out there.
2. Would also vote to see a Cold Steel San Mai Tanto blade tested due to their claims.
A. Would prefer the Magnum Tanto due to their claims: "Just two ounces heavier than the Tanto, the Magnum Tanto II provides a full 30% increase in cutting power."
http://www.coldsteel.com/fixed-blades-tanto-series.html
B. You already tested the GI Tanto and Gurkha Machete, which were my second and third pics for CS blades.
3. RandallMade knives. This is tough because these are as much works of art as quality blades. Nonetheless, they are noted for being durable. That being said, at most I would only vote to see one of these masterpieces put through the KnifeTest.com ringer.
A. Randall Model 1. http://www.randallknives.com/catalog.php?action=modeldetail&id=25
This knife is perhaps the greatest American knife in history when weighing in the aesthetic/art qualities as well as performance and popularity. Many Axis and other enemies have fallen under it and the blade continues to perform well over seas and at home. I personally know of one of these knives took the full frontal force of an IED explosion blast. The knife lost its handle, only for Randall to replace it on expedite free of charge.
B. The Model 14 may be the toughest of the Randall knives as it has claims associated with durability in its catalog. http://www.randallknives.com/catalog.php?action=modeldetail&id=27 'This knife was designed to meet the demand for an almost indestructible all-purpose knife, though it is especially suited for combat and survival purposes."
C. The Model 16 Saltwater also has claims similar to the above. http://www.randallknives.com/catalog.php?action=modeldetail&id=23 "Designed especially for heavy duty salt water use, this knife is as nearly indestructible as possible."
Also, please point the way to make a donation via paypal to your knife test fund.
Thanks,
