Seller should properly inform potential buyers about that modification on the HDFK, and add Nathan's comments on it: "That notch, that deep and in that location, reduces the durability of that knife by a large margin. Due to the proximity to the fuller, I would estimate probably by 50% or worse. The SDFK would have been a better choice for this treatment as would a shallower notch farther up the spine.
This will limit your margin for error when batoning, chopping, prying etc. In my opinion, this loss of functionality is a larger offset than having a dull area on your edge when striking. I personally would only use a ferro rod if I had to and I would not mind a slightly dulled area. But if I was using a ferro rod regularly I would probably carry a piece of hacksaw blade or similar for that purpose." from post: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/show-your-hdfk.1524571/page-46

Not trying to hind anything from a potential buyer. This knife is a user and I believe it would still take quite an act to snap the blade in half. Such as leveraging your entire body weight while trying to pry open something that an actual pry bar would be better suited for.
