None snapped in half!

A couple have had the blade inclusions though. Have not heard of anybody having any issues getting them swapped out by the shop though! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Of interest, a Crash Axe or two suffered the same problem. They are also SR-77 so the DFs with problems were most likely made from the same steel batch.

people are going to begin thinking less of the yard steels. no warranty makes you want to deal with a product you think you'll have to use it on.

eh, more for me. at lower prices.
