That's why it's called the "Performance Test".
Nicely done.

That is awesome but I just don't know how you take a knife you worked so had on, that is at the perfect hardness to still shave after all the abuse and then you fold it in half!

I know, I know, your eye is on the bigger prize but it always kills me to see that.  

Although I can only imagine it being a "right of passage" so to speak for JS and MS smiths to have a bunch high quality knives in their collection that have been folded and broken.

Great job on the video by the way - a lot of that home brew stuff turns our a shaky and out of focus.  Your video is really clean.  Thanks for sharing
