Could it stand up to medium abuse? Not hitting rocks or trees, but slashing thick cardboard targets, etc...

Yes it could. It is well made and sturdy enough to withstand card board targets and perhaps targets that are a but more solid.

Not for long. It's nice but more for looks. The blade isn't a heavy one, nor is it sharp.

I'm using it for honeysuckle , so would probably be sturdy enough for a ' medium ' load . Make sure to anchor it securely .

That blade is crazy sharp and its overall very sturdy for the price. I can't see it breaking unless you were using it on a tree or something super hard

with the edges taped well it would be fine. The tip does not shoot in a real fine pattern. We use this blaster for blowing sand into chink lines on log homes and works well. Montana Log Restoration, Inc.

My 12 year old grandson handled it quite well. It takes some strength and good technique to break the barrel (cock & load). It would be fine for target practice, but carrying it hunting will probably get tiring.

Mine has not bent or collected any damage since purchasing it. It won't bend by sheer human force alone, but it would probably bend if not snap if used to pry something. As long as it is not misused then it won't break easily. While its a good knife I wouldn't want it as my only tool depending on whatever survivor situation is in mind. It would fit best for cutting threads and maybe cutting small game. I would suggest not fighting a bear with it.

This thing would definitely be capable I have used it to cut down a 10 diameter pine in my backyard, it took a fair amount longer than my regular felling axe did, but as it is of higher quality than my felling axe it held a much better edge. The sheath is mediocre and would not last if used for very long I replace mine with a home made one. Great axe for the price and lightweight. Ideal for camping I'd say or making smaller pieces of firewood into kindling for you woodstove/fireplace.

It has a sharp edge and would probably cut cardboard well. I ue it as a decorstion. Starfire swords for combatThey are made for hacking.No edge so they dont kill actors.

some round or rough rocks it can handle. it will NOT handle sharp rocks or sticks.

I doubt it it's just not heavy enough I've had the targets bounce back around with high power airgun a rimfire would most likely damage the targets or even punch holes in them you could try .22 short or CB but any more I'm quite sure would damage it

Not been to that area, but I own heavily forested property in AR. This is light enough to carry to trim back limbs and brush. I put a good edge on mine and would have no fear using as self defense if necessary. Has held up to heavy use and easy to sharpen back up.

I have used mine to dig up plants, big rocks and just this weekend tore down a sidewalk made of bricks, edge is still sharp. With its weight and length I imagine using a big file, while the tool is resting on a workbench will be best.

Hello Mini. I use this around the house for light jobs like drilling holes in drywall to hang pictures. I don't think it would handle tougher materials. You do have to use the drill bits with hexagonal bases. This driver will not accept standard bits with round bases. I bought this to use with a winder attachment for changing guitar strings. It is GREAT for that but I find myself using it for all sorts of screw driving and light drilling. I like that it takes regular batteries. In my experience the rechargeables fail after about a year and you can't replace the battery. I hope this helps. James. Hello Mini.

I think the tool would probably be underpowered. It's better with softer woods.

yes easily it is deadly at 40 yards or better . it will punch through 1/2 plywood .

I carried one in the Marines and bought one for each of my family members. If you keep it sharp, (and will it take an edge) it will pretty much slice through whatever. Also, extremely durable.

Interesting question. Very compact and dense would make for rapid rotation. Might be hard to land the blade, but would certainly leave a mark.
