Hi I was cutting small branches, 2 inches in diameter larger ones, with koster survivor. I cleaned the green wood just cut with a chainsaw. Just finished work, I put the koster in an old stump, half rotten, to take off the gloves. The first shot is not entered, the second I heard a noise, the blade had just disintegrated like glass. Only to have it stuffed into a trunk, with a fairly normal shot to be honest. This was the third time I have used the koster. Goes back to a run of before 2010 I think, in A2, I took it by another Italian collector who kept it in only collection, never used.
I tried to find the two pieces of chipping, but unfortunately accomplice the night came and the large amount of wood chips and leaves on the ground, I was able to recover only the largest piece, I lost the little one. It recovered the piece still looks sharp, not bent, with very fine grain. Probably the fracture started in the middle between the two chipping. has impressed me negatively the feeling of shattered glass when I gave the blow that broke the blade. I am 100% sure that the cause is an incorrect heat treatment, or a flawed piece, I never hurt a knife of this bill so easily.
So I appeal to Mr. koster, I also contacted via his website, and ask for warranty replacement of what seems obviously an unfortunate piece and I think an isolated case. I have other koster knives, others have used it, never had any problem, they are all quality pieces.
Expect to be contacted soonby Mr. koster, meanwhile thanks for the help
Here some pictures of the damage
You can see the piece of the blade in the wood
