Not heard of that one before I reckon it would be warrantied though, something can't have been right - i.e. I can see no way that it could happen on any of mine. Any way you can get some pics? I'm curious to see if I'm understanding properly.
Doesn't sound too good!I'm just messing with one now, and I'm wondering if there was a burr on the handle edge or something, so the pressure exerted by opening it was higher than it should have been, if you see what I mean?
Well, good luck getting it sorted What you gonna get as a temporary replacement?
Do you have a Bear (or one of the many derivatives)?Or you could go for something a bit different like a Buck X-Tract or Spyderench, as you'll be getting your Blast back eventually anyway - where's the risk?
