    Another favorite is when you crack the blade removing the scales

    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!

    Don't sweat it. I had a slightly bent tang & I gave it a little love tap & broke a vintage blade. I had done this before & it worked but this time it didn't!
