Blade Strength Testing and Evaluation

The video tutorial covers a strength test for multi-purpose blades. Nicholas, Mark, and Garen each present their blades for testing. Nicholas's blade loses a tooth but performs the chop test. Mark's blade has a design flaw but holds up well. Garen's blade snaps, leading to his elimination. The video emphasizes the importance of design and material integrity in blade crafting.
