"I let my friend borrow my knife"

Customer brought this last week. Sharpened up and hoped it wouldn't affect his cutting too bad but doubted it. Told him what fixing it would entail so he tried for a week. Brought it back for reprofiling.

Chicken bone is supposedly the culprit.

By no means the worst damage I've seen but on that expensive a knife kicks it up some notches,

I'm sure others will have more examples

After having countless knives "go missing" I tend to not let people borrow my blades anymore, but when I do this is always the case. People who don't know better will hear how impressive the quality is and assume it can cut anything. Another thing they tend to do is pry open metal containers with the tip, leaving me with a lot of reprofiling to do.
 
I despise loaning out any tools because so many people have destroyed them or never returned them. Too many guys take advantage of your kindness today and treat you like a sucker. Any more I tell anyone that I don't know that I don't have any tools. If someone wants to borrow a pocketknife I ask them why they don't carry one.
 
On a Kramer, must have been a good friend to loan out such an expensive knife.
I didn't even like loaning out books. At best the spines were all bent out.
Later I'd just say I was an only child, so I don't share. But DON'T WRECK MY STUFF.
 
Very sad.

I remember my Father in Law. He had a set of Cutco. He took the larges
Chef knife and tried to chop through a ham bone.

Massive ding/squashed spot in the edge. I did my best to manage it back into a semblance of usefulness.

He said "well their advertising said worlds sharpest knives"

I explained that sharp and tough/strong are not synonymous.
