That's too bad about your new knife , but as you say I'm guessing it's a flaw in the blade stock from the supplier .

This is why my chopper of choise is a Dogfather and I'm on the hunt for a Scrapper 6 as my allrounder . It's because hearing of a Scrap Yard knife failing is so very rare that everyone is shocked . Not to mention the Scrap Yards great warrantee and Dan always being RIGHT on top of it "if" you ever need it .
