sorry dmle

and dark jedi had a dogfather was it, that he shined up real nice and than it had a hollow spot in the blade.
I think it took him a while to get one back,(if I remember correctly)
but I think thats rare.

hollow spot on the blade?

yeah...like on the edge there was an air bublles when the knife was made or something and the blade chipped out and stuff.

idk somone else would know better.

thats interesting, never heard of air bubbles in steel
maybe you should ask noss

There were a couple Dogfathers w/ chipping out due to air pockets - they've all been squared away (although I think one of them took a while... don't remember who...).

i consider the one with the gap between the handle and the blade to be cosmetic yet still a legit complaint.

i'm talking more about actual failures in steel.but once again i realize i wont find many cases.

i do remember the df with the air bubble.thats a perfect yet rare example.

the reason i asked is because i had a problem with a rat and i'm gonna be bummed if i have to wait months for a new one.

i wasnt going to even say anything here and planned on keeping it at the rat chat out of respect for SR but you guys are my fellow dogs.i dont think anyone will mind me telling the dogs and besides,most dogs are rats anyways but i'm not gonna post the whole thing here in part because i'm too lazy.

i hope this warranty mess doesnt take for ever.i want my toy back.my favorite toy.

common problem with steel production. Many checks are/should be done to avoid this, but it still happens.

I have messed up my hands many times, putting load on a tool only to have it snap and send my knuckles into an engine... I always inspect broken tools to try and figure out why/how they break, and almost always there is an air bubble in the center of the break. (so far all breaks of this type have been with Chinese tools)
