>>180355" I was using it to split some oak for another spoon,
being as gentle as possible with the thin blade, scandi grind and stick tang.
Into literally a minute of use, it catastrophically failed, sending half of the blade one way,
while the other half bent back and shot a piece of the handle off.
Another tiny shard came off of the second part of the blade, rocketing through
the air and finally bouncing off my eyebrow, I am extremely lucky it did not hit
any lower or get imbedded, it just left a scratch"

>entire body weight on tip = broken esse tip>lightly batoning oak = catastrophic mora failure.why is there is even a debate about this?
