Has anyone here ever experienced a catastrophic failure with a full-tang fixed blade -- cheap or otherwise?
Yup, a butchers knife snapped in half, hammer was unharmed, frozen chicken had some scars , true story
Sounds like a You Tubeable moment, if there were video.
The microwave is a wonderful invention. Peacefully defrosted a 6 lb package of hamburger for me this weekend (chili feed).
But if the microwave had broken, there's always the axe collection....
