Quality Review: I bought one of these knives last time they had a drop, and it's shit quality. The blade can be used to cut paper maybe, anything stronger and it'll chip or just break entirely.
CarsonMYou should contact Mora as they will be able to help you . I bet they will make it right (sounds like you have a lemon if it chipped with a zip tie) as I have only ever had good experience with their blades and customer service (lost a sheathe and they replaced it for me) http://www.moraofsweden.se/contact-1.0.114.2
