here's a couple of stans broken DM tip pictures: Not so bad. Easily repaired with a belt sander and fine grit belt. So your blade my end up 1/8" shorter.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

stansbrew broke the tip on his dumpster mutt! on all things claiming! That is one question I had for Eric over at Swamprat and he couldn't answer it. My question is, if you break a tip on a Ranger you send it in and get it replaced, they offer a similar lifetime warrenty with Busse family however what if they no longer have those blades, what are you supposed to do? We've been talking about that, we speculate they have backups for such occasions but it's so rare and far and few in between most of us should never need it. Busse's are the toughest, roughest, baddest blades in town, it's why we buy em <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I could be wrong, but I don't really believe they keep a bunch of older knives sitting around for warranty purposes. At least not for every design. Maybe a small handful of certain prominent releases (????). I could be wrong again, but I "think" I remember Eric mentioned (a few years ago) that if a Swamp Rat knife were to break and it was no longer available, Busse/Swamp Rat would give full credit of old knife original purchase price value towards an available production knife. Busse is making so many limited release Ganzaaaa knives nowdays, I know he isn't keeping duplicates of all of those. At this point, between Busse, Swamp Rat and Scrap Yard, there have been a few hundred different styled knives releases. I am pretty sure I read a post Jerry made that stated they only replace about 1 knife per year. I

That's not broken. That's barely even a "Chip". To be broken, surely you have to have "Two" pieces. Whatever, came off of that knife may have been carried off in the breeze!.... Stan may have accidentally inhaled it or absorbed it through his skin! .

Look at the factory edge and follow it to the tip. It seems pretty factory like consistant. Not that an edge can't be reshaped to look factory original. But, that just looks factory to me.
