No kidding. I'd like to see the damage on both of those knives.

That doesn't sound right. Deer bone rolled the edge on a GSO 6?

I took some close-up pics of what remains of the chips I put in my GSO-10 a long while back, I've continued to use and sharpen the rest of the edge, so the chip will slowly disappear as the edge creeps back
Currently sporting the defunct "orange" terotuff scales

Batoning seasoned oak, on more than one occasion with my 7/7. I broke through the wood and the knife hit rock. No chipping but a really bad fold. I stroped it for about 20 or 30 minutes to get it back in shape. Good ol' knife!!
A close second was when I was carving a try stick out of a treated pine hand rail with my old 4.1. After about hour three or four I checked the blade and and found that I had a few "flee bites" and lots or micro folds I sent it to Guy who resharpened it for me. I've managed to f'up that blade a few times. It's been back to Guy at least 4 times. I've since had to reprofile it another time, see pics below. I am pretty hard on that knife. I've also made the canvas micarta handles slick with use. I'll need to send it back to Guy to have the handles microtextured.
