[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2577240, member: 229"] It's basically not, but it's kind of cool and provided all of the knives survived past about 100 or so pounds of pressure, they're all good enough to survive any sort of strain someone would put on them in normal use. The funny thing is that shock is the killer for folding knives, not continuous strain. But tests like this just back up the point that the locks in decent quality folders (i.e. not gas station folders) are all "strong enough" for use (not abuse). Jim Ankerson's tests are a lot more thorough and real-world. His steel edge-retention test and blade-steel repository is also pretty awesome. [/QUOTE]
