I had the day off today and a friend and I went into the woods. I choped a 3 inch tree down and chopped it into two to make walking sticks. I picked up the top portion to cut the branches off and before I was going to shave the bark off I checked the blade. A small section of the edge actually split off and the section that remained became jagged. The best that O could describe it was like slate rock when it splits. The part that came off took a small chip of coating with it.

I photographed the before shots and after. I didn't even get to using the baton. There were no rocks around and the only thing that I chopped was the wood. My friend was amazed as he saw me beat the crap out of my Scrapper 6 both chopping and batoning. He was amazed and all he said was that happend with wood.

What should I do with the DF? I love it and I know from years of using Busse that this must be the lemon of the bunch as everything, including your Scrapper is as tough as nails. Plus the fact that my was inspected by inspector 13.. Must be bad luck.
