Was enjoying my thanksgiving weekend in the deep forest...The trees so thick you have to make a hole. I've had my dog father LE for quite awhile and decided to take her out for a trial. Was clipping off 1/2" dead pine branches and this happened and NO!! There wasn't any thing in the branch, just very dead old pine branches no thicker than 1/2". Made me very sad but I had no choice....I kept on using it to get through the dense bush.







As you can see a big chunck of the blade just popped out, half the size of a dime and only half the thickness of the blade. The other side almost looks undamaged.

Funny, the metal inside almost reminds me of parkerized metal.

Anyone had this happen???
