I just broke another "Survival" Knife today. I was reviewing the latest from our hero Bear Grylls on another forum and broke the pommel. There is some real junk out there nowadays. I realize that Scrappers don't have pommels, but if they did they wouldn't fly off while batoning the blade! I'd take a Scrapper 5 over most of the so-called survival knives. I have never deliberately broke a knife, but it happens. I learned the hard way not to post pictures of broken Busse-kin knives on this forum. I accidentally broke the tip off a little HCLE EDC knife doing something stupid with it. When I posted my review here, all hell broke loose. The new 154CM knives were coming out, and my pictures caused a lot of grief for the Busses. Those are tough knives, but you can break a thin point on any knife not using it properly, whether it is INFI, 154CM or any other steel. I have used the heck out of my Mud Puppy and some others with no mishaps, but any knife can be broken.
