Fastest/easiest you've seen a knife fail?

I had a brand new Chicago Cutlery chef's knife that broke in two from slicing a potato.

Once had a cheapo chinese steak knife break cutting a steak.Tang only went about a .5" into the plastic handle.

 

[solidknife]

That stinks. My knife was a full tang. I wish I had a video of it breaking.

I went through about 3 plastic knives on new years dinner

I had an Opinel that looked like an alligator took a bite out of the edge the first time I took it into the woods. :thumbdn:

Ouch...and I was thinking of getting one...I'll probably try one anyway. Hopefully it was just a rare defect.

Cheaper than dirt rough use knife....

Vs

Busse NMFBM

...and the winner is...

Same thing to the old frost cutlery knife in the background, it died as well.

Then again... this benchmade LFK died pretty badly at the hands of a Busse ASH-1 which laughed at it.

Everyone that doesn't own a pocket knife. If plastic cutlery is thrust into my hands along with a piece of meat, my pocket knife is coming out no matter what kind of looks (jealousy?) I get.

What did you do for this type of damage to the blades? It looks like you struck the edges against each other. If so, I remember Jerry talking about how that was a pretty cheap trick his old boss used to do at shows. He came to find out that his boss was really just using a thicker grind than the blades that he would chop into. It was pretty much a matter of edge and grind geometry rather than a sign of a superior blade steel performance.

Dude........what were you doing? Seriously. I'm curious.

Just chopping edge against edge, I was bored. The liner had failed on my benchmade and the other two blades were junk so I felt like destroying things.

The edge on the LFK was thinner than the busses, but cheaper than dirt knife had a thicker edge than my thinned NMFBM and ASH-1.

Not a scientific test, not even a test. Just some destruction for the heck of it.

just dont buy the stainless they chip bad.

 

[GWashington1732]

Not me but someone at work broke a Frost Cutley folder against the blade stop by trying to push cut through cardboard. I told him just to put out the one time cost for a Buck or Kershaw but the next day, there he was with another Frost Cutlery. Some people just can't be trained.

Thanks, and don't worry, i'm a fan of carbon steels...but, I do like the way Buck does 420HC stainless.

What about the primary grind? Which one is thicker?

 

[230grains]

Up to where it was cut? The CTD knife was still thicker than the NMFBM. Sorry but cheap Chinese stainless is not going to hold up to INFI.

Like I said though, it's not a test, it was me just smashing stuff for the hell of it. But chances are, a 10 dollar knife is not going to hold up well to a 600 dollar knife.
