Here is the thing.
I have an old kitchen knife that i use at least once a day.
I haven't had it from new. I came across it on my day to day stuff and it became my only knife i use.
It is a Carbon Steel (I assume) Humphrey's knife with probably an antler handle.
Well, I noticed a couple of days ago it was cutting strange. I was a bit surprised as it was due a sharpen.
Today I had a look at it.
I broke my knife.......
Well, I can't remember doing anything unusual with it.
So took some quick closer shots.
Looks like it has just eroded away. It went pretty suddenly though.
Interestingly, you can see daylight along the edge through tiny holes.
Pretty sure looked at the edge a week ago.
Have i done something I shouldn't do with Carbon steel perhaps?
I am wondering if I have eaten the bits that are no longer there.
Disappointing, but interesting.
