Somewhere in Northern Nevada
I picked up a DM for a buddy and I'm checking in with him today to see if he wants to get a sheath from Leatherface and he says he does. I jokingly ask him if he's managed to break the knife yet, because I know he has a very unlucky history with hi end knives. He is kinda quiet for a minute and says, "Well, it's great but I bent the tip."

I'm stunned and I ask him, "WTF did you do?"

His response is, "I was testing the penetrator tip by stabbing a phonebook and it went all the way through and into the cement floor of my garage. It took a chunk out of the floor and the tip bent a little. I was able to fix it by sharpening it though."

He has the worst luck with knives, but I thought the DM would be invulnerable. I guess it was wishful thinking.

Only a bent? [censored] impressive! I've heard numerous stories of knives stabbing concrete, unfortunately the tips didn't survive.

How much of the tip was bent? 1mm? Can't be much if just sharpening it fixed it.

I'm just impressed that he stabbed it through an entire phone book.

Sounds like Berserker #4, a good friend of mine. I gave him one of the old heavy saber ground Ranger Rd-9s. I said, "Bet you can't break this one". He lost it.

Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I cannot even imagine bending a Dumpster Mutt. It has to be strongest 5" knife ever made.

yah me too, but it had to have been hammered in to go through book and in to the floor, unless he is just a really big strong guy.

Deanimating phone books is something I have not tried yet. I have a few laying around here somewhere.

Kind of sounds like he rolled the tip over if he was able to sharpen it out. Too bad there weren't any photos of it before he sharpened it.
