While busy with finetuning the handle the knife slipped out of my rubber coated vise and fell from a measured hight of 1.10 meter on one of the concrete sidewalk tiles which form the floor on my balcony, and landed on the belly part of the edge.
I did not try to catch the falling knife :-)

To my surprise there was only slight denting in that area, no large chips, which i would have expected given the presumed high hardness in combination with the narrow edge angle.
Anyway, due to this i had to regrind the blade again on the green silicon carbide side of my Foss 7205 stone, and that is where i am now.

Dang.  Good there wasn't the expected damage.  Having been around knives for as long as I have, its instinct to let a falling knife FALL.  Glad you did too.

Forged in Fire style testing is not recommended! Glad it survived relatively unharmed though.

Falling knives definitely require the quick removal of fingers and toes from the immediate area. :D
