>>1057383>clearly an inferior knifetrue. you can try the same with any $0.50 machete from 3rd world country and this won't happen. they will twist and deform but not break. take a piece of iron with same dimensions and try to break it by banging it with a piece of wood. your wood breaks.
correctly hardened and heat treated knife of that size should not break in that situation and certainly not where this knife broke. why are batoning/chopping knives more brittle than axes?
