First of all, long time listener, first time caller.
I've been a knife fan for 30+ years and carried one in my pocket or had one close since I was 10.
Only in the past year have I discovered Spyderco in my research for a better pocket knife. I initially bought a ZT 562 for EDC while debating between it and a pm2. I can't say anything bad about the ZT; it's an Elmax tank, but the pm kept calling my name.
I finally bought a digicamo pm2 in January and there hasn't been a day when I've left the house without it in my pocket!! I also have the dlc version and an orange delica. I love these knives with every fiber of my being!
I've read horror stories of borrowed knives on this and other forums so when a coworker asked to borrow a knife today, I asked what he was going to do with it. "Just cutting a zip tie" he assured me.
MF never mentioned said zip tie was underneath a car securing an extra key to the frame and that he was going to indiscriminately hack at both (metal on metal) until he broke the tip off my knife and put two deep nicks in the edge!!!
The nicks were easily visible with the naked eye, but the broken tip was near microscopic and only noticeable with my jeweler's magnifying glass (whatever that thing is called).
I only knew the specifics of what he did because he readily admitted it when I asked WTF he did to my knife. He was somewhat apologetic yet seemed confused about why I might be upset about what he'd done. He asked if I wanted him to replace it, which I declined given his lack of actual intent and his stupidity.
I've chalked it up to my own stupidity for letting him borrow my knife in the first place. I brought my EdgePro to the office after lunch and spent several hours trying to fix the damage he'd done.
Lesson learned!!!
tl;dr op is an idiot who loaned his knife to a mouth breathing coworker who damaged it.
Cheers!
