Chipped Sebenza Blade

Whoa, this is scary! I've been thinking about picking up an Umfaan but if they chip this easily, I don't know. My hollow ground Delica surived beer cans, plastic ties, and fiberglass roofing without chipping! Is this normal for Sebenzas?

------------------
Ouch! Dang, that's sharp!

Different knives for different jobs. My Sebenza is capable of the sharpest edge of any knife I have, but the edge will not deal with much abuse. The Benchmade ATS-34 blades will cut through copper wire, beercans and hardly be the worse for wear - the trade off is that they can be brittle and break in a high torque situation, unlike a sebbie.
I use the Benchmades for general utility purposes while the Sebbie is daily carry for tasks that require a sharp blade in low stress conditions.
