I posted on a more popular forum, hoping for more replies, but got NONE so I'm cross-posting here...

I'm curious as to just how durable the Benchmade pens are, when used improperly. Sure, they're meant for self-defense and breaking glass, but what about pounding other objects like brick for example? Would that scratch/dent/destroy any of the available materials? How strong would each be in comparison to each other? Thanks.

Aluminum
Titanium
Stainless
Damasteel
Carbide

  Yeah... definitely don't pound on brick or any such material. They're not designed for striking hard surfaces at all, unless they have a glass breaker.
  
  But in order of the degree of catastrophic failure:
  
  Aluminum
  Titanium
  Damasteel
  Stainless
  Carbide

  What we really need is a new LE DLC pen.

  /|\ Jason , guess I never mentioned I took 2.53 years of engineering before switching to business. By the time I graduated I had a 195 credits. Also 9 credits away from liberal arts degree in history.

  What I'd love to have is one of those 1100-USA models! Maybe a "reprint" with a slight variation so the super-rare originals don't lose value. Jason?
