Anything good is worth waiting for ;)

Sadly the guy who was going to test them for me has a broken rockwell tester at the moment. So I'm going to have to find someone else to test them for me. But we'll figure this one out.

They'll also be passed around on the Dutch knifeforum. The results will be posted along with my review here.

Keep in mind...this may take a while though.

Alexander,

Cant wait.  I like the idea of Rockwell testing them also

That would be great Alexander, I love knife reviews!

I've (today) recieved a foursome of knives that were made in Pakistan. I'll probably review them as a set. They'll be rockwell tested and everything.

What I am trying to say about the review is that it takes alot of a mans time to feild test a knife and we have not come up with a standard cutting test. Scott has tried to do a good job and I enjoy his reviews. I may not always agree totally to his opinion but he's trying. I think Ron had tried a couple of times to make a review and didn't do too bad a job.

A long while back we had discussed a way to have a standard test for a blades cutting ability. No one was able to come up with something that would work and be consistant for each knife tested. Maybe we could all go back to the drawing board and see what we could come up with. Also, other things that need to be tested on a knife, to be able to really review the knife for it's workmanship, material and value.

It's quite simple really. Before you "review" a knife you need to have clear what your expectations are.

Scott is "blown away" by almost every knife he looks at. So either his expectations are very low or he didn't have any beforehand.....

I agree with Alex, the rush to judgement and giving virtually all knives reviewed a great rating without putting the knife to a single cutting test. I think Scott is trying to do a good job, he just needs to make a few more test in his review. He's trying, you gotta give him that.
