Mora Knives on Knifetests.com

Knifetests.com does some extreme testing of knifes. Some people disagree with the amount of abuse they put knives through but it is useful to see how much a sample knife can handle. It's interesting to see where they fail.

They did some of his tests on a Frost's Clipper Mora knife and the videos are on YouTube. The blade held up well considering it's probably the thinnest they've tested. The edge didn't chip out even on concrete block. In the destructive testing, the blade finally separated from the handle and you can see that this model only has a tang that goes a little more than an inch into the handle. A longer or even full tang would have held up longer. The blade was then broken in an extreme flex test but clearly took more stress than you'd ever expect it to handle. I almost hate to point out that he said it's a great knife for the $10 because it would still be a good knife at $50.
