"The Stabbing Protocol" by Nutnfancy
This video by Nutnfancy introduces "The Stabbing Protocol," a novel method for testing the locking mechanisms and penetration capabilities of folding knives. The protocol involves high-speed thrusts of a securely attached blade (using a broomstick for safety) into a multi-layer cardboard target. The Ontario RAT 1 folding knife is showcased and impressively withstands the stress, demonstrating excellent penetration, minimal wear, and good edge retention. The reviewer highlights this as a more realistic test for lock failure in thrusting attacks compared to spine-whacking, and also notes the surprising penetration power of a drop-point blade.
