This photo made me so sad when I saw it it my email. I was a little confused at first because the second photo didn't download. But I could see a small bump on the edge in the first photo.... Then the second photo downloaded on my phone and I realized it was over for my knife.

If it mAkes you feel better chuck I have another forged out now
It ain't over! I'd seriously consider taking this instead of a working knife. That is crazy cool. What a conversation piece!
HOLY SMOKES!! thats WILD Bill! I have never seen anything quite like that B4.
Almost makes me feel a little better about the micro chipping problem with my stainless san mai test blade.Im sure your new blade will work out better..
Much respect,

I am not sure what happened on this. Everything was fine after hardening. Then into cryo and when it came out there was a crack on the spine. As it sat on the bench ping tink crack it started to split And I am not sure if it's done yet.
Wow! The stresses must be insane!
this knife ended up splitting clear from tip to tang and edge to spine, almost perfectly in the middle.
