Dragonfly, tip of the blade broke :(:(:(:(

There I was, cutting thin cardboard...
The underground was cardboard, so no hard surface on the steel.
Yet, it broke :(
I don't know the service of Spyderco on something like this....
I would love to hear from you guys.
Don't want to retire my Dragonfly already...

Don't get me wrong, it's no huge damage or something.
But it's quite substantial to me.
Many collectors will know this feeling :p

It's so easy to sharpen out, I wouldn't worry about it.
- best wishes, Jazz.

Retire it for that tiny ding? Just use it.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

That looks fairly easy to sharpen out. Doesn't look too bad.

You just broke it in. Sharpen it out and keep on cutting. :D

Really? If something that tiny bothers you, buy a Stanley utility knife and leave all your Spydies in their boxes.
I don't believe in safe queens, only in pre-need replacements.

Fixed it, thanks all :D
Ran it across my coarse stones and then diamond ones for fine tuning.
Sharpened it on the sharpmaker and stropped it up.
Good as new :D
