this is what happens when you let your cook use your knife

After thinning and sharpening it out. Still a tiny bit left but I got tired.
Ouch!
at least it finally forced me to blend the shoulders, hehe.
Ouch! I hate when co-workers do stupid stuff! I have a Gyuto that has a chip that magically appeared after I was pulled away from the line for 10 minutes. I feel for you.
All of my knives are communal for the most part. I try to encourage certain cooks to use certain knives. But I don't tell anyone they can't use my knives. I just urge them to be careful and try to teach them better technique and not to use them for pry bars or screwdrivers. Some days go better than others. And I have a very high tolerance for patina.

Some do like a rounded heel, in which case there's a beginning.

That's one of the most generous statements that I've ever heard.

Sometimes such things happen. Sometimes it's others, sometimes not. I am the only one using my knives. It has happened to me before... I cut a piece of pork belly. Didn't expect the skin to be so crunchy... Ooops! 
It's smaller than mine
Wrong steel, wrong HT, wrong sharpening angle and ok wrong user for this task ....

It seems to me that if the knife has functioned well for all uses prior and the chipping occurred when used specifically on the wrong product; then it would seem that the choice of that knife for that particular product was what was wrong.
i was planning on portioning them myself which is why i had the knife out on the cutting board, but i got side tracked and my cook took it upon himself to get the task done. he clearly has no idea not to twist the knife while using so the inevitable happened.
I got pulled away from the line the other night to plate a wedding and when I returned to collect my knives my favorite Bunka was in the hand sink rusting with the tip banged off. But I got to spend a evening at home fixing it which I throughly enjoyed.

I have an outstanding Kikuhiromaru atsunomi (an atsunomi is the Japanese version of a timber framing chisel) and a new guy used it without asking me. The retard hit a nail with it and there was a 5mm deep chip in the hagane. I hired him through a temp agency which means I don't even need a reason to send someone home. I told him to pack his things and leave my property. It happened on his 3rd day so why he thought it's okay to use my tools is beyond me.
But a noob with a Mune could do dinasour bones without missing a beat.
for sure sir! this is why i gave only Mune`s to my coworkers....
. (or it was money... i don? t know...) But they have to be so dawn good.... .Greets Sebastian.
I have seen a person break a Mune, I couldn't believe it, but I have seen it with my own eyes. Not the whole Mune, but a piece of it. This person is not allowed into my kitchen anymore.

One of my cooks decided to cut olives with my knife a few weeks back, found the one with a pit in it still....several times.

One of the guys asked to use my pairing knife, it came back with a bent tip. Turns out he tried to open oysters with it...At least he replaced it with one I like better.
I generally don't mind others using my knives but which ones I let borrow depends on the person and task. Always puts a grin on my face when they remark how sharp they are.
