Train with gloves before doing this, i have practised in my sit on top kayak for safety. I have tested what i believe are important at sea..Good luck and remember the Swiss Army Knives are
made in the tradition and never for violence!
Update
If you look at the demonstration it is important
that you are careful and use protection before you try.
I know what it can take this blade. This blade has been tested on different types of rope much better than
this on the videos. On many materials and on wood. All parts on this New Ranger has been tested rather hard. Remember that a clean and sharp knife is much safer than a dirty and dull one.
In most cases force are never needed on knives.
