Broken Caly-ZDP Tip

[tim8557]

I just noticed that the tip of my Caly Jr in ZDP is missing. I've never used it to cut anything but boxes.

It's not a big deal to me , but I just found it curious. I did reprofile it to about 10 degrees per side on my Edge Pro and possibly weakened the tip too much.

I thought this knife already had a low profile (something like 7.5 degrees) from the factory.

Hope it's not achipping problem! I have CJ ZDP also and noticed a small chip on the blade. Blade is still factory shaving sharp as only used rarely. I don't have warranty as the blade is now in a custom titanium liner(by STR) with a micarta handles(myself).Hope they are not prone to chips as they ARE RC64.

Thinking on how I've used it, my guess is that it broke off percing some clamshell packaging related to a new computers and telephone system for my office/warehouse. It is just the tip, but it is definitely squared off.
