Broken folders in the real world

I broke the blade of a small Sebenza in half while cutting fiberglass/plastic strapping tape on a load of tile. I think it had a defect, as I wasn't putting *that* much pressure on the blade with the cut, but obviously it was enough.

This was about five years ago, during a long summer of remodeling the house. That knife got used for just about everything you could imagine a kife could do on a job like that. While I didn't abuse the knife, just used it quite a bit, for wiring, trimming all sorts of things, opening stuff, what have you.

The best part was how CRK replaced the blade under warranty, even after I told them how it happened. When it was first returned to me, the fit of the replacement blade seemed a little bit off, with a slight bind to it. I sent it back and they made it perfect. I still carry that knife every day, and use it constantly. I'd buy another CRK anything in a heart-beat. :)

I don't get around here much ;) , but after finding this thread, I thought this would interest some of you.
 
i broke the tip off a cold steel recon 1 tanto. I was cutting a heavy zip tie at work and used a lot of force well the force caused the knife to hit a metal table and the tip broke off. It hit it at an angle,not like i stabbed the table. After that i really started to question those cold steel videos with the knife going through the car door
 
I was digging around inside my computer table, with the tip of my Kanetsune Yama and some mm snapped off
And the trident sog lock failed and it cut me to the bone when i was scraping my table with the back of the tip
