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 cry 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???


When you care enough to use only the best...stick'em with a SKYCO knife.

Won't have a new one unless they have another blank. More likely a shop credit.

yeah, get ahold of the compound and reference this thread for the pictures. Explain to them what happened. Dan's warranty is a NO BS Guarantee!

Sorry to see that happen to you. Sending anything back for warranty seems to take so long for me. I just can't stand the wait!

SF45's DF looked similar, just not as pronounced...

BRAMEL, you should have contacted the Busse folks first, even before posting the pics here. They will make things right...just give them the chance to do so. wink
