Yeah... So I pulled my Manix 2 Xl out today... just to open and close it a couple times, when I noticed a white spot on the G-10, upon closer inspection it somehow had a chunk come out, like a chip. Not even on a corner, it's in the flat. I never even dingded it on anything... or dropped it. Have you guys had your G-10 ever chip or break like that?

Sometimes there can be voids also known as air filled pockets in the material. It happens with G10, Mcarta, and Carbon Fiber. I have not seen it often, but it does happen and it should fall under a warranty issue if it in fact is a large enough area. Do you have any pictures?

It appears as a blur of sorts on camera.

G10 does chip. It's very durable, but it does chip. Could be a void, or could have chipped out a piece along the way somewhere.
I use the back of my Sere 2K near the pivot (knife closed) to open beer bottles. It's picked up lots of chips and scratches. Still gets my beer open though.
