I killed it.

Minding my own business, taking a few whacks on a live tree branch, (still up on the tree) and then "Whoa, THAT'S not supposed to happen!

I am a MIGHTY DOGFATHER F-ER UPPER!!! THE THE MERE FORCE OF MY STROKE DOES THE IMPOSSIBLE, AND BREAKS THE KNIFE INSTEAD OF THE BRANCH!

Sorry, I don't know what came over me. I just HAD to post that.

I bought this barely used, and did all of the polishing and convexing by hand with a strop and sandpaper. NO temperature abuses. I was really looking forward to beating the holy tar out of some of our fallen ice-storm limbs, but not with this knife!!

Only 2 real possibilities I can think of:

1. Busse got ahold of some sub-par stock

2. I am an animal. A real man who breaks cannonballs and makes girls cry.

I'm leaning towards # 2.

I will send it to scrapyard for their analysis and amusement and replacement, just as soon as I boast a little more.

So, let's see a few pictures of YOUR broken Dogfathers, guys!!

that's not broken, it's a mere flesh wound ;)

and i would like to know who's initials were on that modified blade

.
 
That is unbelievable, especially after what Noss put that scrapper 6 through!
Can you shoot a picture with a coin or something for size comparison?
 
I can't tell what I'm looking at here. Looks like sheet metal filled with foam insulation.
 
Was that a "Infi" Tree you were whacking on? :) That looks like some kind of defect by the way it split/flaked the metal.

MD
 
is that the spine, edge, or both???


hows about a couple pics from further away so the whole knife is visible.


and remind me never to lend you one of mine!!! :)
 
:eek: Curious fracture, almost conchoidal looking. I know that there were a few edge failures in the SR Crash Rat, which used the same SR77 steel. Of course, they will take care of you. Shame after all that elbow grease you put in. :( Maybe Dan will give you an LE?

btw, I predict the mods will move this as non-Busse.

i suspect there was no tree branch involved at all.


this appears to be a bitemark, and the material appears to be cheesecake.




c'mon now. fess up!!!
 
Maybe its heat treat was messed up by the modification? It looks buffed, polished and possibly ground upon... And its not INFI.

Unlikely with a strop and sandpaper by hand. He'd have burned himself or his tools all to heck before the heat treat was impacted.
 
OK, boys:

That's a .45 acp cartridge.

I tried to get the perspective as honest as possible.

I left the wood jammed in there on purpose, to prevent possible pantie-bunching.
 
Tom, was this the recently released DF LE ?

Or did you do one of your superb sharpening jobs on it ?

.
 
Send it in, they'll take care of you. I'm sure Jerry or someone will be posting but no worries as I'm sure it is covered under warranty.
 
Thanks, Eric. I'm not worried at all. It is such an UNUSUAL occurrence that I was flabbergasted for a few minutes, looking for hidden metal in the living tree branch!!

(It COULD happen!)
