Too bad that we do not have the other side of the knife to look at.
Randall Made Knives has the knife now and they know the failure mode.

ps My main question would be: Why post this "failure" on a international website vs just sending the knife back to Randall Made Knives to be replaced? Why not deal directly with the shop in the first place? Let it go, Joe.
Uhhhhh, Tom, I think you must be confused. You may want to review the threads. So you are clear, this is NOT Rainy Day's knife, but a copy of one of the photos Ron posted of a different knife.
And Rick, this is a legitimate subject and thread. Perhaps you also mistook the intent as well as the content of my post like Tom did.
I think it is pretty clear the purpose of the post and the content of same. In case you are not getting it, it illustrates in the diagram where sharp inside corners create the identified stress risers. In layman's terms, weak spots prone to fracture.
The photo illustrates that at least on this particular knife, RMK did not have a sharp inside corner and the fact that the tang did not break at the transition from tang to blade, but the tang itself broke.
