Broke the tip off my 2012 GEC Wharncliffe Trapper.

[T. Erdelyi]

Man I'm pissed, I snapped the tip off the wharncliffe blade off, a little less than an 1/8 of an inch doing something stupid, luckily I reprofiled it and if you didn't know, you'd never be able to tell. It just sucks 'cause I'll always know. .

Oh well, what're ya gonna do?

 

[silenthunterstudios]

Did you contact GEC about reprofiling it?

 

[Jack Black]

Bad luck Ted

 

[paulhilborn]

I've been there Ted---bet you did an excellent job re-profiling it though...

:barf:Every time you open it you think of what you did. I get it.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Ted- did you get before and after shots at all my friend?
Photos or it didn't happen

it's stronger now

it's stronger now

And you can be too if you see it as an opportunity! Applaud yourself for your adaptability! It's just a tool. An object. Think Daniel Boone would give a damn?

 

[silenthunterstudios]

It does look sturdier.

 

[T. Erdelyi]

I never think to take pictures, when I break something I get right to making it correct again, Curveman' s photos couldn't been my knife. It looked exactly like that, before and after...

I'm more embarrassed that I did something so stupid as to try to pry something even as light as it was, I know better, then I had the dreaded "tink" and I knew my stupidity quotient had been met for the month.

Question is: How did you break the tip off your Wharncliffe Trapper?

 

[T. Erdelyi]

Trying to pry open a battery cover on the tv remote, someone spilled something sticky on it and the battery door was stuck so I figured a little putting help to break the sticky loose. Never did it before, usually I use my Leatherman, wish I had gotten it from other pants.

..... and I knew my stupidity quotient had been met for the month.

You should feel fortunate! If the only dumb thing I did every month was break the tip off a knife, we'll, It'd sure cost a lot less!

I have done the same thing to my #72 wharnie. I love the fact that GEC grinds their wharncliffe blades so thin at the tip but this does come at a price, they are relatively fragile. Definitely a finesse blade and care must be taken when using otherwise.
