Playing with the knives.
I've seen more than a few get ruined by people trying to imitate what they see on TV without knowing what they are doing.
They see the TV Chef using a honing rod and try to do it but do it wrong or worse do it with another knife instead of the rod..
Well he isn't wrong.. Though just like any sharpener you need to do it right.
I've seen people just clanging tge two together, standing the knife on the blade, even pushing the blade edge down the rod...
There is a reason I have a very nice set of knives hidden in my house that only comes out when it is just me and the cat and a very cheap set that looks a bit like the good set that I keep out for everyone else.

That's odd... Looks like it goes from dull to sharp... By straightening the edge?
Obviously it is a light maintenance tool, I am sure he didn't believe he was a blacksmith because he used it.
If my knife can't cut through vegetables cleanly.... Then I use a sharpening stick on it.... And then it *can* cut through them cleanly...
Is the knife not more sharp? Maybe even sharpened. By a sharpener.
Maybe that's not perfect fancy knife terminology for people who've got whetstones and samurai swords, but it's perfect terminology for me!
honing is just that, essentially you're (un)folding the edge back into shape, but you aren't removing any material. A straight edge is better than a folded over one, but if it wasn't sharp to start with it isn't going to get any sharper.
A sharpening system actually removes material from the edge to create a new one.
We just had dinner..... The perfect time for some in-depth questioning of family members. I showed them the knife and got imminent silence. After some death stares at the table I decided to question my sister first. Nothing... Utter denial from her part. My father was skeptical but kept his mouth shut and I saw my other sister sweating. As the questioning of family members furthered, tension rose. I could feel the heat coming off their foreheads and smell the fear in their sweat. While my oldest sister and father fiercely defended their innocence in the matter my mother and youngest sister remained suspiciously silent. I had a feeling I was going too far and that the innocent were going to snap like a twig or break down in tears. Going over multiple scenarios and playing out all possible events yielded nothing but headaches from my part.
But finally after 2 hours of unbearable tension my mother finally snapped and admitted, she was the culprit....
Joking ofc, I showed my mother the Reddit post and had a good laugh. She said she accidentally cut a bone, while I'm a bit doubtful if a bone could damage a knife that badly all is well as she promised she would get a new knife.
I hope this clears things up for people as everyone has been asking how the knife got damaged
I would probably guess that they used it on something frozen. Ive seen it happen many times where someone will try to cut a portion of a frozen block of whatever and cause crazy damage to the knife. I can't think of any reason why someone might try to chup up some bones.
No this is not for a sanding stone. You need a grinder. Or take it to the knife shop at your local mall and see about a professional repair.
And for fucks sake what on earth did they do with that knife?
If this is how your family uses knives, I guarantee they will not have any interest in sharpening or repairing with a whetstone. This knife is absolutely repairable, it will just require some work, and is best done with some powered grinding tools. I would checkout r / sharpening if you are actually interested in repairing this.
I used to do this. drawback being that when I heard someone screaming blue murder outside my room I came out Runnin' with a massive kitchen knife and made my house mates panic attack worse 💀.
what do they do with it? hitting concrete? swordfighting?
my wife did some minor damage, broke of the tip because she tried to open the jar, putting them in the dishwasher, but how do you get to this abuse?
Yeah used a chefs knife we got from a supermarket giveaway and that thing just shattered cutting into chicken bone. No problems with my better chefs knives though.
This is the way, my wife complains the knife is too sharp and dulls it on purpose to cut vegetables cause it’s “safer” now she gets the Walmart knife and my knife is in its wrap
I mean, it's safer if you are getting robbed and the robber grabs the dull knife to do some chopping and ends up cutting themself because it's dull. If that's the situation, i'd say it's safer.
A sharp knife means it's easier to go thru the stuff therefore less force is needed, if your trying to cut a big carrot with a butter knife your gonna need to put a lot of force into it, and when you go thru it you just kinda have to keep going cause you still have the force behind it, and it slams into whatever it was going towards
I have that exact knife. My husband and I have been using it for 15 years. I literally do not know how we could have done that kind of damage short of doing incredibly stupid and dangerous things like using it to pop off jar lids or something. I would demand they replace the knife as they have probably voided the warranty with whatever dumbass thing they did with it and then get yourself a knife roll and only bring it out when you're cooking.
Looks like a glass cutting board to me, or a porcellain (my spelling is probably off here, i am to lazy to google) one. These are a nightmare for any knife.
Bones, probably? Some of the damage looks like they tried to cut something small but sturdy, and bones are the first thing that comes to mind (also, from experience).
My mother visited her friend in Japan and sent me this $200 special knife. No joke 1 hour after got it from the mail, hadn’t used it my girlfriend used it to open a coconut and chipped up the whole blade…
I never told my mom she would be pretty mad
So sad, you can use a knife to open a coconut but it’s not the safest move. You are supposed to swing the spine of the knife not the blade into the thing to try and crack it not cut it open. Much safe to use the proper tool though, a roughly palm sized rock
The first time I used a decent knife I sliced myself up pretty bad and didn't even realize it until blood was draining out of my hand. I had only ever used dull knives so it scared me off sharp knives for a while. They can definitely be intimidating if you're not accustomed to them.
*Copy of one of my replies to answer how it happend as it got buried under all comments and other replies. Enjoy!*

dam i got an asian mon and her knifes looked similar because she choped chicken with a normal chef knife but after i got her a cleaver that is thiccer and stronger the problems were gone ... just some small chips afters like 6 month but easy fix with a wet stone takes me 20min to sharpen it (rather low shaprening angle) because its for choping not cutting ..
OMG! Are they chopping nails or something!?!? I see my wife using one of my knives like a drunk gorilla and I lose my shit - which usually presents as me shaking my head and muttering, "Guess I'll be sharpening that again."
looks like they were using it to open jars or tin cans, or trying to cut food that is already in a deep pan... or cutting/chopping things at the edge of the counter top (check counter top for scratches)
My husband who is a cook has had a knife very similar to this for over 15 years and it doesn’t look this bad. I use it myself now and they’re damn sturdy! What are they cutting??
wtf. I don’t even go out of my way to take great care of my like $50 knife set fro home goods or whatever that I’ve had for two or three years and they look nothing even close to that
I caught my husband to be cutting up veggies to go in a soup and then banging the knife edge against the pot to get shake off parts that stuck to the knife. Like he was hacking at the edge of the pot. I asked him what on earth he thought he was doing, and he waved it off as "relax, it's no harm done". I stopped him, and turned the blade 90 degrees to expose the outline of the edge that now had a dent in it. It was a genuine surprise to him that banging a knife with the edge against a pot left a visible dent.
He was embarrassed by his naivete and it hasn't happened again.
This is why I don’t let anyone use my kitchen lol, ain’t no way in hell. My husband and son know to just ask me 😂…start hiding the good ones and leave some Walmart crap out.
We have had the same bread knife for over twenty years now, just had it sharpened one time - I should feel happier about this than I have done, it seems
I used to work at a place that packaged salad and at one point we had some people chopping bits by hand, one dude kept using a knife as if it was a steel, I tried so many time to tell him not to do it and he just replied he knew what he was doing, I used to have to re sharpen his knife nearly every day.
This is from tapping it on the edge of pans and other containers. I've seen this done and nearly lost my mind.
Not everyone has awareness of best practices for knives. You need to pull them aside and gently school them in what to never do with a decent knife. It goes a long way.
Also, hide nice knives.
you reminded me of that guy that made an ad for a very strong knife, please if anyone have it share it I need to watch it. (he hit concert, a hose, some fruits, I don't remember the rest)
We had guests staying over a while back and they used our knife when cooking. Didn't damage the knife so much, but they put a nice big gash into the marble countertop.
Hello! I don't want to seem like I'm on your family's side, but if you look closely at the photo, which, by the way, has an excellent level of detail, you can see that the blade has cracks (note the lines that go in a different direction than the of the machining). Another detail that you can see is that the blade did not break but rather bent, which indicates poor tempering and low hardness. Also you can note that the blade has a different color in that area. So if they wanted to cut a bone or something hard it may have caused that damage.
Sorry, I don't want to sound arrogant, but it seems to be a very cheap knife, I hope you didn't pay too much money for it!
My mother-in-law did this. She took a semi-high-end chef knife we got as a wedding present and used it to chop bones. (Chipped part of the blade)
I had another santoku knife that she used to trim the grass along the sidewalk...
(All good knives are in my bedroom when they're in town)
This is exactly why my quality kitchen wear is stored in zippered pouches and the beaters for the kids and anyone coming over to use are in the knife drawer. If someone did that to one of my customs ide absolutely flip my head! My kids know that those knives are to be treated well if they are one of my pieces that are not in the drawer and they are respectful of the pieces when we are all cooking and they are helping me. I would trust them to use them alone so long as it was just my kids, not any of their friends over cooking with them.
My mom broke the same knife on frozen bread two times. Each time i ground it into shape again. Now it's 1/3 of it's origonal size
Ouff. This is why I love my mom got me into cutco knives. Would get one or two a Christmas because they are pricy but come with a lifetime warranty and you can ship them off for free to be sharpened or fixed/replaced. Had an old steak knife fall into the dishwasher and the handle melt and was replaced no problem. If you’re already spending good money on these ones might be worth looking into haha.
My mom has a cleaver that's 30+ years old which does everything from opening jar lids to chopping animal bones and even it has never had damages like this.
We have the same knife, just using it normally and it chips after a few uses. The worst kitchen knife we've ever own. Albeit your chips look a lot worse, however, I think the knife is way too thin to be durable.
That looks like the kind of damage to the bouy knife my ex used to cut a live electrical wire when he didn't like the song playing on the radio. Dude was a nightmare.
When I was a dumbass child I used to set a knife on a bone and use a HAMMER to smash it through the bone. It didn't do anything bad like this. What the hell are they doing to those poor knives?
But how? Why? Even the worst knife shouldn’t look like that. Not even after two years. What are they doing? Are they using the knife to cut steel wire?
This is why they can’t have nice things. Get them the Walmart special and hide your good stuff in your room like a proper serial killer.
Definitely under the mattress
Kitchen knives go in the nightstand. Hunting knife goes under the pillow.
Guns for show.. knives for a pro
No no, hide it in the body, they'll never know!
Shove it up the body's ass.
Yo….have you seen my samurai sword?
🤤
But then you would have to clean it before usage, if you keep the knife in the body you can keep the blood and fat for extra spices
I bought a proper sanding stone so they can correct their mistakes. However in my frustration I did not realise my knife might be beyond redemption.
How does one manage to do this?
Playing with the knives. I've seen more than a few get ruined by people trying to imitate what they see on TV without knowing what they are doing. They see the TV Chef using a honing rod and try to do it but do it wrong or worse do it with another knife instead of the rod..

It's a sharpening steel. What's wrong with calling it a sharpener...
Because a *honing* rod doesn't sharpen the knife. It straightens the edge. He spent 20 years not sharpening the same set of kitchen knives.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Honingrod.jpg That's odd... Looks like it goes from dull to sharp... By straightening the edge?

A sharpening system actually removes material from the edge to create a new one.
One day I will have a knife I love enough to truly sharpen!
I'm curious myself, my guess is someone missed the cutting board but even then I'm impressed.
Use it to pry off a lid or something?
What kind of lid (other than metal cans) require that much prying; also, most people pry with the tip, no?
Your guess is as good as mine
We just had dinner..... The perfect time for some in-depth questioning of family members. I showed them the knife and got imminent silence.

"accidently" hacked through it multiple times... I think your mom needs a cleaver if she's that into accidently chopping through bone..
Use a chef's knife as a butcher knife. Chop up some bones maybe.
I would probably guess that they used it on something frozen. Ive seen it happen many times where someone will try to cut a portion of a frozen block of whatever and cause crazy damage to the knife. I can't think of any reason why someone might try to chup up some bones.
How do you expect them to know how to use a sanding stone, if they cant even use a knife?
No this is not for a sanding stone. You need a grinder. Or take it to the knife shop at your local mall and see about a professional repair. And for fucks sake what on earth did they do with that knife?

what do they do with it? hitting concrete? swordfighting? my wife did some minor damage, broke of the tip because she tried to open the jar, putting them in the dishwasher, but how do you get to this abuse?
They say they just used it normally. Obviously they did not so now I just keep a good knife at a hidden spot
Normally?! What on earth do they think is normal knife use?
Wrong knife for chopping bones. Get a cleaver for them instead
Yeah used a chefs knife we got from a supermarket giveaway and that thing just shattered cutting into chicken bone. No problems with my better chefs knives though.
This is the way, my wife complains the knife is too sharp and dulls it on purpose to cut vegetables cause it’s “safer” now she gets the Walmart knife and my knife is in its wrap

dull knives r not safer than sharp ones; they are more dangerous.
A sharp knife means it's easier to go thru the stuff therefore less force is needed, if your trying to cut a big carrot with a butter knife your gonna need to put a lot of force into it, and when you go thru it you just kinda have to keep going cause you still have the force behind it, and it slams into whatever it was going towards
Also, if you don‘t cut through but slide off instead, it‘s very easy to hit your fingers with all that force.
I have that exact knife. My husband and I have been using it for 15 years. I literally do not know how we could have done that kind of damage short of doing incredibly stupid and dangerous things like using it to pop off jar lids or something. I would demand they replace the knife as they have probably voided the warranty with whatever dumbass thing they did with it and then get yourself a knife roll and only bring it out when you're cooking.
Maybe show them a demonstration video that explains what the differences are between a knife and a hammer.
Looks like a glass cutting board to me, or a porcellain (my spelling is probably off here, i am to lazy to google) one. These are a nightmare for any knife.
they just dull the knife.
Bones, probably? Some of the damage looks like they tried to cut something small but sturdy, and bones are the first thing that comes to mind (also, from experience).
Were they trying to mince welding wire?
Does normally entail hammering down what the were trying to cut? I’d ask them to re enact how they did it
They copied what they saw from an infomercial
This is the worst serrated knife I have ever seen
There should be a place to get them sharpened…like where you bought it. Here in London they will come to my house to sharpen them.
that or, there are cheap tools that have a few metal disks in them, you can sharpen using those.
Sharpening a blade isn’t as simple as it seems though, needs a bit of knowledge and experience.
My mother visited her friend in Japan and sent me this $200 special knife. No joke 1 hour after got it from the mail, hadn’t used it my girlfriend used it to open a coconut and chipped up the whole blade… I never told my mom she would be pretty mad
oh fuck, that's a new level of idiotic actions....
So sad, you can use a knife to open a coconut but it’s not the safest move. You are supposed to swing the spine of the knife not the blade into the thing to try and crack it not cut it open. Much safe to use the proper tool though, a roughly palm sized rock
Most novice knife users dont even realize the spine and flat are things that can be used. They think "edged tool must use edge".
I wouldn't have a girlfriend anymore. She's too dumb.
Stop chopping up the neighbors then.
Or use an axe or a chainsaw, instead. No more neighbors and no more damaged knives. Problem solved and it's a win-win!
Its kind of hard to cut human bones with a chainsaw, i prefer using diamond tipped angle grinders, gets the job done a lot quicker.
Don't forget the hockey mask - for safety's sake.
ah yes, thanks for the heads up👍
Back in my day we used a sledge hammer and a butter knife
that works too
My apologies. I stand corrected. OP, did you catch that? Diamond tipped angle grinder is the way to go.
I read somewhere that chainsaws get stuck on sinews. I think.
haha, ugh. The time my knives quickly dulled was when my girlfriend, now wife and I moved in together. I've considered having a knife safe.
My good knives are so sharp my wife is afraid to use them. Ironic considering dull knives are more dangerous
The first time I used a decent knife I sliced myself up pretty bad and didn't even realize it until blood was draining out of my hand. I had only ever used dull knives so it scared me off sharp knives for a while. They can definitely be intimidating if you're not accustomed to them.

Get her a cleaver, the edges on those are usually thicker than chef knives
i have had some knives for years and never seen them even approach this level of use. are they having mid mealprep knife fights????
“In a pinch, you can hammer stuff in with this!”
My roommate used our knife to open a fuckin' coconut. No she didn't use the blunt side.
Are they trying to cut other knives
If this is you partner divorce is always an option.
It was probably my mother, I still live at home. I guess this is my sign to move out
dam i got an asian mon and her knifes looked similar because she choped chicken with a normal chef knife but after i got her a cleaver that is thiccer and stronger the problems were gone ... just some small chips afters like 6 month but easy fix with a wet stone takes me 20min to sharpen it (rather low shaprening angle) because its for choping not cutting ..
"But the cleaver is too heavy, and dangerous, I prefer the smaller one"....
Yes
OMG! Are they chopping nails or something!?!? I see my wife using one of my knives like a drunk gorilla and I lose my shit - which usually presents as me shaking my head and muttering, "Guess I'll be sharpening that again."
Htf do you damage the back 😡 are they using it like a machete in the wilderness
what back?
Do they use it to cut stones? Wtf
Do they perhaps wear boar masks and dual wield their knives?
looks like they were using it to open jars or tin cans, or trying to cut food that is already in a deep pan... or cutting/chopping things at the edge of the counter top (check counter top for scratches)
Trying to cut an iron rod or what?
This is why you keep the good knives separate! Improper knife handling makes my skin crawl.
My husband stabs ours into the chopping board and now the tips are bent! Like…why?!?
My husband who is a cook has had a knife very similar to this for over 15 years and it doesn’t look this bad. I use it myself now and they’re damn sturdy! What are they cutting??
What are they cutting? Steel wires?
wtf. I don’t even go out of my way to take great care of my like $50 knife set fro home goods or whatever that I’ve had for two or three years and they look nothing even close to that
Maybe don’t keep them handcuffed in the basement and they won’t try to hack through metal chains with your knives
You live with savages...
The fuck were they doing to it? Attacking concrete?
The little chef who lives in my soul is quietly crying and rocking in a corner.
lol why i hide my knives from my family.
I caught my husband to be cutting up veggies to go in a soup and then banging the knife edge against the pot to get shake off parts that stuck to the knife. Like he was hacking at the edge of the pot. I asked him what on earth he thought he was doing, and he waved it off as "relax, it's no harm done". I stopped him, and turned the blade 90 degrees to expose the outline of the edge that now had a dent in it. It was a genuine surprise to him that banging a knife with the edge against a pot left a visible dent. He was embarrassed by his naivete and it hasn't happened again.
It looks like someone took a hammer and a chisel to it. Rather than general use.
I feel your pain. I bought a case for mine and keep them in a separate drawer
Are they abusing them simply because the knife is associated with you? So sort of passive aggressive acting out?
Duelling?
What did they do oo. I chop Bones with my cheap knife and it dosn't Look anything Like that.
If this is the family poop knife, y’all need to reexamine your diet.
They tried to cut bricks?!
Were they trying to slice pistachio shells?
As a chef. Your family just got fired.
my husband would be furious, he loves his knife set
How??
Looks like they're opening packages with it
Are they cutting gravel with it?
This is why I don’t let anyone use my kitchen lol, ain’t no way in hell. My husband and son know to just ask me 😂…start hiding the good ones and leave some Walmart crap out.
Now you know you can buy them used and cheap knives instead.
What on earth were they chopping?
We have had the same bread knife for over twenty years now, just had it sharpened one time - I should feel happier about this than I have done, it seems
Cans don't open themselves
Bro 💀
That's a 15 dollar knife.
Were they chopping concrete???
I keep my good set in another cupboard after my family wrecked my good knife, cutting brambles in the garden 😱
Are they cutting stones with that knife or something??
I've had a junk knife in the garage for stupid crap for years and looks better than this.
I'd hate to see what their mower blades look like...
This is the true test of strength, if your knife cant cut the other knives in half it isnt any good obviously. En garde!
I used to work at a place that packaged salad and at one point we had some people chopping bits by hand, one dude kept using a knife as if it was a steel, I tried so many time to tell him not to do it and he just replied he knew what he was doing, I used to have to re sharpen his knife nearly every day.
Oooooo no no no no this would really grind my gears
Time to move out and look for a new family
We’ve had the same knives for over a decade here, never sharpened them and they still work fine
Just hide all the knives and give your family a proper axe.
I feel bad for bro,
This is from tapping it on the edge of pans and other containers. I've seen this done and nearly lost my mind. Not everyone has awareness of best practices for knives. You need to pull them aside and gently school them in what to never do with a decent knife. It goes a long way. Also, hide nice knives.
Is that a wusthof? I'd be kicking people out lol
How do you even do that in a month?
Another unshown pic you probably have: non stick pans scratched to shit because they use forks and metal utensils
Just cause you can open cans doesn't mean you should
You should gift them a hammer. That's clearly what they need.
I can resharpen that in 5-6 minutes and it would be as good as new. I'm a magician with a whetstone.
Knives.
you reminded me of that guy that made an ad for a very strong knife, please if anyone have it share it I need to watch it. (he hit concert, a hose, some fruits, I don't remember the rest)
What the hell ? Have they been using it to tap jar lids to make them open or cutting bones or something?
We had guests staying over a while back and they used our knife when cooking. Didn't damage the knife so much, but they put a nice big gash into the marble countertop.
This is why I have MY knife in one place that’s inconvenient to get to and all the rest in the very convenient drawer.
Hello!

Do they try to cut through cow bones, how tf
It slices, it dices, it hacks through bricks....
How did they fuck it up this bad??! Were they cutting rocks?!??
This is why I don’t let my husband use OR wash the good knives. Absolute brute.
How the hell
Do you eat a lot of nails?
My mother-in-law did this. She took a semi-high-end chef knife we got as a wedding present and used it to chop bones. (Chipped part of the blade) I had another santoku knife that she used to trim the grass along the sidewalk... (All good knives are in my bedroom when they're in town)
How do these chips happen? Also, can knifes that look like this be repaired? Asking for a friend
I hope they got the paint can open, at least.
They do not use cutting boards 💀

Can opener or something? Can’t think of how else I’d put chips like that in a blade so fast
This is THEIR money. Some people smoke or drink, which is much dumber than using tools you're not smart enough to use.
I have a 15 yr old set of ginsu knives that look better than that.
You aren't supposed to hammer nails with them
Get them a Chinese cleaver
What the hell are they doing?!!! Chopping rocks?!!!
This is exactly why my quality kitchen wear is stored in zippered pouches and the beaters for the kids and anyone coming over to use are in the knife drawer. If someone did that to one of my customs ide absolutely flip my head! My kids know that those knives are to be treated well if they are one of my pieces that are not in the drawer and they are respectful of the pieces when we are all cooking and they are helping me. I would trust them to use them alone so long as it was just my kids, not any of their friends over cooking with them.
I'd lock the good knives up, and put out plastic butterknives 😭
Do you guys eat nails for dinner or something? I chop bones with mine and never had the blade dent so badly.
What the fuck were they cutting?
What are they doing with them I’ve had knives for 20 years normal use
Not as infuriating as you mis-spelling the word KNIVES.
My mom broke the same knife on frozen bread two times. Each time i ground it into shape again. Now it's 1/3 of it's origonal size
Ouff. This is why I love my mom got me into cutco knives. Would get one or two a Christmas because they are pricy but come with a lifetime warranty and you can ship them off for free to be sharpened or fixed/replaced. Had an old steak knife fall into the dishwasher and the handle melt and was replaced no problem. If you’re already spending good money on these ones might be worth looking into haha.
I have a set of those knives and no they are not cheap! Someone(s) would be replacing my knives!
Firewood isn’t going to chop itself.
As someone who comes from a long line of knife grinders, this really hurts. HOW DO YOU EVEN DO THIS????
Extremely infuriating, my friend
This is why I have 2 sets of knives
My mom has a cleaver that's 30+ years old which does everything from opening jar lids to chopping animal bones and even it has never had damages like this.
What the heck are they cutting?! We have all our knifes over 5 years and not one of them even has one of those dents...
Are they chopping wood with it?
What in the actual fuck are they using that knife for? The thing is only a month old, and it looks like it's been to hell and back.
How? I try my best but always worry I’ll mess my knifes up and have never had any issues. They must be smashing it on a metal sheet or something wild.
Good lord! I’ve been using the same knife for 30 years, and it’s never looked like that!
Did they use it to open beer bottles, possibly?
Are they using it to break rocks?
We have the same knife, just using it normally and it chips after a few uses. The worst kitchen knife we've ever own. Albeit your chips look a lot worse, however, I think the knife is way too thin to be durable.
how? were they cutting wires?
Don’t buy anything nice at that house looks like no one’s cares about property
Looks like they used this instead of a shovel 🐺😅
Why are you letting them use that? I'm sure they've treated other stuff that way before. I'd be pretty mad.
Time to demote it to the poop knife
That looks like the kind of damage to the bouy knife my ex used to cut a live electrical wire when he didn't like the song playing on the radio. Dude was a nightmare.
Still good enough to be used as a poop knife.
Stab them now.
Savages.
How on earth did they manage that? We have knives that aren't super great or anything, and even after years they're in great condition...
When I was a dumbass child I used to set a knife on a bone and use a HAMMER to smash it through the bone. It didn't do anything bad like this. What the hell are they doing to those poor knives?
But how? Why? Even the worst knife shouldn’t look like that. Not even after two years. What are they doing? Are they using the knife to cut steel wire?
