OH Yeah, Lots Of NO ... be careful trying to crink a badly off center blade

[BrotherJim]

... no words
TUESDAY MORNING UPDATE EDIT: Have another one coming to me directly from Nontron in France via FedEx. Just spoke with them and awaiting email shipping confirmation and tracking

 

[BDubbs]

Man I’m sorry to see that. That the one with the oak barrel handle or an older one?

 

[BrotherJim]

Turned things over to find it happened in the area of DEEP Nontron blade stamp

Yes sir ... Oak Wine Barrel Handle ... 'bout as easy to find as hen's teeth, unless you're in France

Oh man I’m so sorry that happen.
Think if it were me I’d pull out the Gorilla glue
All kidding aside what a bummer !!!

HA !!! ... it crossed my mind
There is no fix ... and there is no cake ... mallet seems to be okay
BONUS: I now know what the inside of a pocket knife blade looks like D'OH

 

[JohnDF]

Weld and grind... It'll be just like new

I know that cleansing feeling man. Like throwing out old clutter so ya don’t have to look at it.

 

[BrotherJim]

Ya know, at least I did it to my knife and have no one to blame. I think that is a blessing
What if it were someone else's knife that I'd said, "Hey I can fix that blade center for you" ... man 'o man

Sorry about your Nontron!!
I did the same to a Remington Muskrat - and donated the parts to a knifemaker!! I watched a technician at Queen try the same thing on an expensive Cattle knife; and snap it into 3 pieces!! They gave me a new knife!! If the tempering wasn't just right, there never was any hope!!

 

[mrknife]

ouch! hopefully no injuries.

Yes sir, it happens sometimes. I've straightened other blades with no problem (even one other Nontron). Something in the area of that deep Nontron blade stamp compromised steel integrity on this one apparently.
... well that and maybe a little too much mallet LOL

EDIT: First one I've ever damaged or broken while trying to center

Like you've got something to complain about. Just sharpen the stub and use it as a scraper.




Seriously - Sorry to see such a nice knife in such a state.

Can you you use the scales on another knife?....
