Now, I'm not saying go HAM with this thing, but I recently took my Pixel blade to Disney World.
It got dinged up a bit, but not really noticeable.
The main thing I noticed is how well the blade took some powerful blows and didn't affect the internal lights. I was worried about breaking the lights ALOT on this trip, but despite several big hits I had no problems.
AGAIN, I am NOT saying to do this at home, BUT I had few drinks and was just wondering what this blade could do, and just smacked the hell out of a tree trunk with it and it barely left a mark and the blade still worked.
And they are SO bright. Clearly visible during daylight hours.
I am very impressed with these blades.
If you're considering going Pixel and are worried about the expense, I'll tell you now, these blades are worth the money.
