Sometimes it happens
Sometimes it happens
Was looking through some of my kitchen knives today and remembered that I had one that I was unsure what model it was. It was either a boning knife or a filet knife, depending on how flexible the blade was. So I decided to put a small amount of pressure on the blade to see how flexible it was. Guessing by it's lack of flexibility it must have been a boning knife. Sometimes though when you combine rust with poressure,this happens.
We would rather be the knife in your pocket, because is "works" better, than the knife in your showcase, because it "looks" better.

Even a boning knife has some flexibility to it. Unless you really stressed it, which I doubt, I'd bet rust was the primary culprit. IIRC, there are some holes in the tang that the sermollan handle is molded through to attach it. Were there any such holes at the break point? Can't tell from the photos. Sad to lose one of those, they're one of the rarer Spyderco Kitchen Sharps.

thats a bummer. as for salvaging the blade..the only thing i can think of is weld a piece of steel onto it an putt a nice wooden handle. you might lose a little bit of the edge because you probaly would want to cover the weld with the handle.
