That's not so good.   Nice pictures though.

Never had one do that on me 

Maybe is was a replacement and not of as high a quality.

First I've EVER seen/heard os such a thing. Normal failure (in a split ring) is the coil pulling out or spreading, not snapping. Sorry about your bad luck.

That is a bit of an odd one

I've bent those things to oblivion at times and never had one break on me.

Maybe it's further evidence of Vic quality going to the wall*

Bad Dave, bad.    Now go sit in your corner.

 

Actually I have had one like this before but it was on a second hand knife and, like Nuphoria suggested, I just assumed it was a poor replacement.  I'm only guessing but it seems likely to me that this isn't a component Vic makes themselves so this could be a supplier issue.
