Another favorite is when you crack the blade removing the scales:banghead:

How the hell did that happen? I have ruined three blades over time & they were real nice Wade & Butcher's!
Oh well, I just don't do what I did for that to happen anymore..................
I got lazy and instead of drilling the pivot pin I thought I could just slice through it with an old kitchen knife and a mallet. The pin got cut...but the blade snapped from the force! Lesson learned, but at least it was just an old Bizmark and not a top tier blade!
