Sorry to see
Had a similar blade this week, a bengall that revealed a cracked in the middle of the toe after 2 days of soaking in evaporust luckily only about 2 minutes of cleaning with the scotchbrite then noticed it so it is now about 1/8" shorter so looks like I can used the old scales with the broken pivot after all.

Not as nice a blade as yours to find a crack in, so will have to watch and see what comes of it
