On the bright side, there is little question as to whether or not it is salvageable.
Sorry for your loss.
So sad. But now it is a true bread knife. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose!
Good Lord!
It's a sickening feeling isn't it....
Another plus is it was not for a customer.... just your personal razor. (I hope)
Actually i thought so at first but rest of day. Read the post
As above,was probebly not salvageble from the get go.
Agree, it litterally exploded. Got to sweep with magnet. Or find it with my feet
I had a blue diamond at one point, absolutely mint condition, no hone wear to speak of, original finish on the blade, it looked amazing, went to tighten the pivot pin before I honed it for the first time, I dropped it on the concrete floor. It sounded kind of like breaking glass but much louder. It was also a sad day.
Did you get three to replace it?Quote:

hone it up for practice & use it as a tape cutter maybe
or frame it as a lesson learnt
Or maybe, picture this. Granite scales, mammoth ivory inlays (cheap plastic)
Put on eBay marked as pre-dated 300 bc excellent condition. There's a set for every ass!
Oh man that sucks. Well, at least you now have a vintage steak knife with somewhat of a serrated edge. For this reason alone I have rubber and carpet remnants in my workshop / honing area.
It's nice to hear from another ohioan. Excuse me for asking, but what does the badge stand for. If what i think dont want you to have bad memories.
Perhaps this will answer your question.Quote:
