I don't think their was anything wrong with Vic's knife either. It was simply what happens when you take a thin ,wide piece of steel hardened to over 57Rockwell and then stick it an inch into hardwood and put lateral force on it. If it did not break then their might have been something wrong with the heat treat.

I understand how you are feeling Tom. It is like some people cannot get their heads around the idea that Scrapyard might make more than one single type of product. I have a Spyderco Mule team made of 52100 that if you tried the same thing as HD did to the HC you would also break the tip off yet no one has any problems with the Mule.



I am with CoyotBC on this one and I have no problem with the knives ,so long as I actually get one this time.
