Followed the link here because I thought the vid might be better than the usual knife 'review' of some dude fondling a knife over a cutting mat and talking about how great it is for 'EDC.' Which, I suppose would be fine for an EDC knife, but is really silly when they are looking at an obvious field or game knife.

@jr22green Although it's called a skinner, Benchmade lists it as both an outdoor and hunting knife. This "misuse" is a good example of how it would stand up if you really needed to do other things with it.

That tip would have been handy while cutting the meat, but you broke it off dude. The knife is called Benchmade mountain skinner, not the Benchmade mountain pry bar or chisel. They make knives with flat chisel tips for prying and chiseling, this was not one of those knives.

I WANT to see a knife used harder than how I intend to use it. He knows the knife is not meant for prying but wanted to see if it would handle it. The tip is going to be fairly thin as a skinner and even though S30V is pretty good at handling that kind of torque, it's not unbreakable. A good point someone made is that if this is the knife on you on a hunt out west or wherever, it shows the knife being used pretty harshly if a bad situation did arise. Any knife can skin a deer or elk with a sharp blade. Watching someone skin a deer will prove nothing to me. I've skinned deer with a Kershaw Chive even though that's not my first choice. I have the little brother to this knife in the Hidden Canyon Hunter and I find them first class knives for what they were designed to do. Another note worth mentioning, no one wants to carry a 2lb. bushcraft knife in the backcountry on an elk hunt when every ounce counts, trust me. This seems like a good compromise.

Had a nasty eye twitch when I saw you bushcrafting on a knife clearly not marked as one. Nice to know that the knife can't handle it (while very unsurprised with that). Would have been really nice to see the actual intended use first then commence with the abuse second. That said, I'm a firm believer of bringing a bushcraft and a hunting knife when hunting. Not very weight efficient, but it is nice to have knives you can depend on for their specific tasks

This type of knife usually has a fine hollow ground edge, not really meant for a lot of batoning and certainly not for the abuse to the tip like that. If you want a general use belt knife and really want a benchmade, the bushcraft would probably be a better choice. On the other had I could imagine all the benchmade fanboys gasping when the tip broke, and it made me smile a little!

Yeah, I seemed to recall that at least from the camera's perspective, it didn't look like all that much torque was applied. I would never give you a hard time about that break, even if it had been my knife you were using. It would be interesting to see a tip thickness comparison with the seal pup elite, NW Ranger and some others because I don't own this knife and it doesn't look super thin on camera. It can be deceptive though.

Who am I to say? Ask anyone who works with tools... apparently that's not you... if there is a way to use tools and a way to brake them. A sure way to break (or bend) your knife is to jam it directly into a knot and then pry. If you want to ruin your knife, go ahead. Doesn't meant it's a bad knife. If you're out "surviving" with this knife or any knife, that is a sure way to break or bend your survival tool. One doesn't need to do that to survive... no function in doing so.
@Alex-gl5eo

Christ Opher Testing knife tip strength helps us buyers determine whether a knife is durable to hold up to whatever task we need it to do. Whether it be using the tip to clean out bone marrow while processing a deer or accidentally jabbing it into a stone while processing wood in a survival situation or even by battening. Tips break while battoning too. I'm not carrying this knife so I can also carry a whole tool belt with me, I'm carrying it to replace that tool belt. Needless to say in a survival situation I won't have much either, so a survival knife will have to take the role of many tools.
