I have been impressed by testing methods used by Project Farm over the years and major brand knives and multitools were tested in these two videos.
15 brands were compared from $13 Smith & Wesson to $258 Benchmade and tested sharpness listed after running the blade edge on ironwood (12:02 minute) and after hedgeapple wood (15:13 minute).
Benchmade, Zero Tolerance, Spyderco Para 3, Cold Steel, Kershaw Link, Buck, Spyderco Tenacious, Civivi, SOG, CRKT Endorser, CJRB, Ontario, KA-BAR, Opinel, Smith & Wesson folding knives were tested for initial sharpness, blade lock release pressure, corrosion resistance, and blade tip durability. Then knives were sharpened using the same sharpening system and compared for blade edge durability.
14 brands were compared from $5 Ozark Trail to $140 Leatherman. Sharpness of blade compared at 8:00 minute of video and at 8:12 minute, sharpness loss vs initial sharpness is compared and for these tests, higher cost multitools performed better. Force required to cut through 6 penny nail was listed at 10:20 minute of video. Knife lock failure load is listed at 15:30 minute of video.
Leatherman Skeletool, SOG PowerAccess, Leatherman Charge+, Gerber Suspension, Gerber Gear, Ganzo, Victorinox Swiss Army Knife, DeWalt, Hart, Mossy Oak, RoverTac, Stanley, Ozark Trail and Havalon were tested for initial knife sharpness and quality of knife steel by testing sharpness after coming into contact with aluminum. Phillips and slotted screwdrivers were tested for quality and durability. Knife blade locks were tested for strength and then tools were tested for corrosion resistance.
