The dreaded ka-clunk scrape sound of dropping your knife on pavement

[freedoom]

After landing in Atlanta for work i put my suitcase in the trunk of the rental car open it up and pull my new small sebenza insingo out and clip it to my pocket. I walk up to the passenger side to settle my GPS and my ipod and as i open the door i hear this kaclunk followed by a scrapping noise. Well it turns out my sebbie wasn't exactly clipped to my pocket. Panic runs through my heart as i look at my knife on the pavement half open.

I check it over, note the minor scrapes on the clip. I look the blade over and don't notice any chipping so i run my thumb down the blade and i feel something noticeable near the tip. nothing visible so i know i can take it out with my sharpmaker. Being in atlanta for work i don't have my sharpmaker on hand. I checked google for some near by sharpening services but none are really close enough as i'm on a time table for work. So it rides the pocket with it's battle damage for the next day.

Now i'm home and after a few strokes on the white stone of my sharpmaker it's almost good as new. So here's to this being the worst accident involving my small Sebenza Insingo i will have.

I don't drop my knives all too often but I know exactly what you mean. Steel scraping the pavement is the last sound in the world people like us wanna hear.

Have yet to drop either of my sebenzas and hope I never do!
Glad she's ok and you were able to clean up the edge.

Just yesterday my Sebenza made a break for freedom from the kitchen counter. Landed at an angle on the tip.

A few moments with my diamond benchstones and now I have something approximating a micro tanto… but it could have been much worse!
