I was using a well known knife a few days ago when I bent the tip. I thought maybe I was doing something beyond normal use and was abusing it. I did the same thing with my scrap yard DM and my Busse SarQ just to see if I was doing too much. Niether of them was hurt in the least.

What I was doing is sticking the tip into a piece of wood and prying out splinters for tender. I drove the knife in about 3/4 of an inche and pried it to one side with the meager strength of my hands. I wasnt getting behind it with my body weight either. The knife was in front of me, I leaned it over and it bent.

This just makes me even more happy to own good steel from a good company.

I am however disapointed that I bent the tip of what I thought was a good knife. I could probably bend it back and be ok, but I want to send it in for a warranty claim.
