When the subject of new Bokers came up I started searching around and a Boker ad talked about their TNT.

They are not checking the bevel with this test, they are looking for the flex of the edge, to see if it would bend easily and snap back. In other words they are checking the quality of the grind.

They were sneering at blades that couldn't pass this test calling them "axes". I remember seeing a woman wearing a ring on her thumb in a video in, I believe, the Dovo factory doing this test. I didn't understand what she was doing at the time.
