Need some help/ideas in securing bamboo or sugar cane stocks for knife testing

[RandallZ]

Seeing as deer season is coming up, I'd recommend testing your knife against a deer leg at the appropriate diameter (you could use a roadkill deer, too). That would more clearly represent a human wrist than bamboo wrapped steak. The tendons, fresh bone (which is entirely different than dry bone), etc. will be a fair test that would be hard to argue against.
