What blades have you broken?

BM AFAK I think that is the name of knife about 12 years ago. Only knife I have broke.

Don't lie...you destroyed the knife on purpose because you regretted buying it :D

I know not what you speak of :p
I would never intentionally beat the shit out of a blade just so I could have an excuse to modify it and put new scales on it....come on now, I would never ;)
 
Snapped the tip off of an old Buck Lite folder while trying to move a ladder stand, also had two (2) small victorinox swiss army knives literally come apart, first the handle scales fell off then over time the pins starting coming out and just really fell apart. The buck lite was my fault because I was using the knife as a prying tool as opposed to a cutting tool, and the swiss army knives were just beat up from years of being attached to my key chain.
 
Buck 110. Was prying at something, can't remember what, when about a quarter inch of the tip broke off. Surprised the hell out of me. I don't think I was doing anything extreme, and expected the Buck to be more robust than that. Live and learn. I hand-filed a new point on the blade. Kinda crude. One of these days I'll get to a cutlery shop and have them do it right.
 
The only one I can recall is breaking the tip off a Dalton auto. I was seating a bullet in my muzzle loader and had just thumbed it into the muzzle when it dawned on me that I hadn't dropped a powder charge. I knew I shouldn't be prying with my knife but it was the only tool I had and I was 40 miles from home. Sure enough I snapped off the first 1/8" trying to pry the bullet out of the muzzle.

I still have the knife...just with a slightly different blade profile.
 
On my Ontario SP10 Bowie I bent 2 inches of the tip about 45 degrees and bent the handle. Also bent the tip of Kershaw Tanto Blur, Kershaw sent me a knew one of course.
 
2 benchmade griptillians just using them (why i don't own any non bali benchmades any more). Both ended up having large areas of the blade missing and one was minus the tip more spectacularly an SOG seal pup which i broke on a peice of wood in afghanistan, i took one chop and the knife broke right in half about an inch from the hanble, i was so pissed mainly because it was a friends knife, i have never bought an sog knife for this reason.

Also ive flipped numerous bali's too their destruction when i was younger and didnt have the money for a real knife, the only bali i have destroyed in my adult life was a bear and son i took to afghanistan to pass the time. flipped it until a handle fell off.
 
I snapped the torsion bar on my BM mini ambush totaly my fault tho lol i was tinkering, aaannd i snapped the tip of my Gerber Gator some how while at the cottage.
 
i broke the tip off my spyderco police model but it was easy enough to reprofile and now its even sharper! I did break a CRTK tho. I stabbed a picnic table and it shattered to pieces...

I actually bent the tip on my CRKT Mirage today :eek:
I'm pretty disappointed. That blade has been through so much and I (ironically) knocked it off a picnic table and it fell tip first to the concrete. Looks like I have a project for tomorrow. :rolleyes:

And I guess that spydie accident was a happy one huh? At least something good came from it!

Yea it was sitting in my drawer for years then i was like... Heyyy what if I did this.... I rounded the front and back of the tip into a spear point that its just a bit broader than the original. Then I made the relief edge really fat. Now it has more of a curvature near the tip so it cuts better.
 
I took appart my gerber paraframe and use the blade as a firesteel striker, since i couldnt and still cant get it sharp, if that counts. I have dropped a few knives and chipped their edges but nothing more serious than that. Oh and I bent the top guard on my KABAR into a thumb ramp type thing on purpose.
 
i broke the tip off an old buck with kraton handles by throwing it i use it for a beater knife now
 
My wife likes to use my chefs/kitchen knives for frozen food, flower trimming etc, and the tips are always getting damaged. I bought a small belt grinder for some project, and now reshape the damaged tips into drop point or santoku configuration. they work better than regional in many cases.

Mostly tips off of cheap chef knives, back when I was working in kitchens. They just get knocked off onto the tile floor, and there goes the tip. I probably have broken a few flea market crap knives as a kid, or maybe they just fell apart.

dropped my Buck 110 onto cement floor point first and bent the point. reground it, and still works fine
