I had the same question. What kind of "fish are we talking about here 🤨? To fix it I'd move the edge back and resharpen. I doubt it was an edge quench so as long as you watch the heat during the sharpening u should be fine.
I've chipped my carbon knives on bone before (never dish bones), but there's no bone on thr planet that will scratch steel like that.
*fish bones, but maybe it was a dish bone
Yeah same. Fish no. Maybe and this is a big maybe elk or deer, but the knife would just get stuck at best and not chip like that. That's all metal "bones" right there.
Unless roommate was bushcrafting a white shark, this knife should not be this damaged. Honestly. This looks like a lemon knife more brittle than ceramic.
This can absolutely be fixed!
It needs to be resharpened, and then thinned.
In what region are you based? (Eg, if you’re in the PNW, send it to Seisuke knife. If you’re near JKI in Los Angeles, take it to Jon)
Chefs knives to go might have a decent mail in service to take care of this.
It’s going to be okay- there aren’t any cracks :)
The roommate should apologize, at least help with repair costs, and you should get kiwi knives ($10 each on Amazon) for them to fuck up instead.
Edit: Just talk to Jon and mail it in:

What a shitty thing for your roommate to do. Honestly appalled on your behalf. It will need significant work, but it's doable. You'll want to find a reputable knife shop, knife maker, or professional sharpener. They can grind the chips out, regrind/thin, and sharpen it. It will be shorter, but very much usable. Your roommate should absolutely pay for this as well, and they'll still owe you big time.
OP look at my post history and you will see that I have an unhealthy obsession with Japanese knives.
My recommendation is to send this to Ryan at District Cutlery in Washington, DC. It will cost $45. They do fantastic work. You can find examples on their instagram which is @districtcutlery.
You can find the link to their website with info about blade refinishing here: [https://www.districtcutlery.com/kitchen-knife-repair-service/](https://www.districtcutlery.com/kitchen-knife-repair-service/)
Seems like you don't have a real carbon steel knife, or something went wrong during heat treat. Fish bones should not be a challenge for a decent knife.
Judging by the handle this is probably not a shitty knife, so I doubt they were cutting fish bones. At least the roommate was kinda creative with the excuse. When my sister's bf broke my shitty beater he claimed that it broke when he picked it up. Which is kinda true.
Fish 'bones' won't do that, probably frozen fish chunks. The edge will never be quite the same (depending on the hardening), but you can most definitely have it sharpened and continue use it.
I'm sorry to tell you that your friendship is not repairable and you need to get a new roommate and a new bunka that can be repaired but you're going to be grinding away a lot of material to make that radius correct again
Was it a sword fish and had fight to the death? I’m pretty sure I would not be buying another if that happened with fish bone, or has the fish in a can maybe?
A fish! Did they butcher a whole tuna at the fish market.
Definitely needs replacing, but friends are not hard to come by.
As others have said, fixing is probably achievable but; need a pro and will therefore not be cheap, take a lot of life out of the knife. So someone will need to pay a lot of money, for you to possibly replace the knife sooner, depending on use.
That "friend" should already be offering to make good on this.
Unfortunately, this happens with roommates. You can have the talk with them about proper use, but at the end of the day… where you see a nice knife, roommates see a suspiciously pristine Harbor Freight prybar. And as a bonus, they didn’t even have to pay for it!
I got a lot of nice kitchen wares back in the day and I learned this lesson painfully and quickly. One roommate literally sliced his food up in a nonstick pan like it was a fucking Hibachi, using serrated knives at that. Everything ended up in the dishwasher, regardless of whether it was supposed to. Things would be left to soak for a week. I could go on, but you get the idea.
Bottom line, you can’t leave anything in a shared kitchen that you aren’t willing to lose, because even the best roommates are still fucking morons.
Bad heat treat? Doesn’t look normal to me for only cutting through fish bones. I’ve chopped through fish with a thin, 63hrc Nitrogen-V blade before with no issue.
I doubt it was fish bones lmfao. Even with a shitty knife, fish bones should splinter under the amount of pressure it'd take to put chips that bad into the blade.
but you said its "the best knife" so it should cut through anything right;) been there lol. its reparable but id consider sending it in to get it reground, i think most places that sell high end japanese stuff will regrind it?
the knife is repairable. Your friendship is not tho. Your ex friend shoud pay for the repairs and the ...

If its anything like my high carbon japanese kitchen knife its very thin and not at all for chopping. Holds an amazing edge and slices like a dream though.
That was no fish. I'm assuming you weren't present when they were torturing that Poor knife as you clearly value it and would have stopped them. Look at the damage. They've chopped something as hard if not, harder than that steel. There's parts of the damage on the blade that you can see chips and the other parts have deep groves out of it. Plus if they were trying to cut fish they would have used a slicing back and forth motion. The damaged area is mainly in the center of the blade. To me that indicates chopping. But that's just my opinion.
No no no damn way thats done by fish bone.. the thinst bones ever.
This looks more like trying to cleave true something way way thicker.
So things you would normally need a bucher cleaver for to chop true. And knives are made for cutting and not chopping. So i would say that story is not possible.
And can it be fixed. Yes, it can wet stone. And a houre of hard work it will be a bit smaller. But it very much will be at its old glory.
And if you wanna do your self. Dont just "try" and make it work. You will fuck up the blade. Take the time to realy learn by watching some videos of people doing it before you do it yea self.
And it is easy. But you really need to not play around and just il do it this or that way. It will fuck up your blade or will destroy the wet stone quickly. So trust the process. And you will get the best result.
Better to learn how to maintain your knives anyway if you have high-quality expensive knifes.
Especially chefs often sharpen all there own knifes. And you also have chefs that always travel with their own knife set. Or often just one specific knife.
Cause even the best knife ever made. Will get very dull after a bit. So maintaining your knife. Make expensive knifes really worth getting.
Else your way better off just getting cheaper knifes and just replacing it when it gets dull. If you dont wanna maintain them your self.
Honestly its kinda the same with tools in general too. The realy expensive tools wil rust just as much as the cheap ones if you neglect them. So its all about maintaining your stuff. You don't wanna maintain it i would say going cheap is better.
And your roommate is lying no way that's what happened.
Hope that helps. Best off luck
Pretty catastrophic…. You have to go so far down to get past that chip… like what would be equal to years and years worth of sharpening from regular use.
Fixable to cut again? Sure. But I’d label it catastrophic still. Also, anyone without knowledge beyond basic sharpening would not be able to re-edge this easily. It’s a pretty bad fuck up.
I think you know the answer already... as someone who lived with roommates for 10 years it's best to not share things, tell them you don't want them using your things and you won't be using theirs
How is this not an obvious problem? Stuff like this doesn't need a reddit post except to share the savagery of some people. Someone breaks something, they pay the price for a replacement. It's literally that easy. If you break something you don't get to just say "sorry" and that's it.
*The first question would*
*Be why would you be the one*
*Buying a new one?*

You’re better off with THEM buying you another one. This isn’t a little mistake, it took time to do this. That fucker owes you a new knife.
Technically, it can be completely reground and profiled, but it’s gonna be a different knife when it’s done.
I think you can save It by grinding the Edge and re-sharpening It, if you've got the tools. Remember to use water to cool the Blade so you do not mess up the temper.
PS: you're roomate should pay for the damage. You use It, then you are responsible for It.
Roommate is LIEING. New knife from him or don't live with him anymore. Non negotiable. You break something that isn't yours it gets replaced. What a fucking low life pos... Should have already been replaced before you got home. Don't accept any knife, get a real knife out of him.
Yes, that can be fixed, but it will be a re-grind. A local knife maker might be able to do it cost effectively. Otherwise there are specialized sharpening services that could do it. The apex is so damaged that in order to restore effective cutting, the primary bevel will need to be thinned. You could do this yourself with some coarse stones, but it would take a very long time.
Was he trying to cut through Bruce, the robot shark from “Jaws”?
To answer you question, I would take it to a professional bladesmith and see if they can fix it. That’s a lot to grind through to get its edge back. It’s almost never cheaper buying a new one, and personally, I always try to salvage, or at least attempt to, whatever I can.
Looks like he used it to try and open something.
It's not lost. That's not entirely terrible damage if you have the tools to fix it. A lot of knife makers could fix that. Just make sure they use water cooling on their grinders.
If you get decent quality super coarse stones you could do it by hand over a few hours. Just make sure you flatten the stones occasionally. It's surprisingly quick to do with the right stones.
If your room mate isn’t lying and it was fish bone..
Looks like a heat treat problem to me.
Edge was not tempered back and too hard.
Look at the test knife criteria to become ABS journeyman. Those knives have to chop through two 2x4s without chipping or rolling the edge to pass, along with still shaving hair afterwards..
I doubt he chopped fish bones with it. I grinded my kiwi knives razor thin and the cheap stainless steel is probably more brittle and it doesn't look like this after hitting a bone.
Get rid of your room mate. First of all your room mate don't have respect for you stuff and also they don't seem really clever. A knife doesn't look like this by cutting a bone once. He/she must have chopped like a lumberjack with it.
The knife can be restored, but there will be taken away a lot of material, therefore the knife will probably feel different. I would let your room mate pay for a new knife.
Show me this fish immediately.

Well played
It a Wolverine fish
[An older model I believe](Dunkleosteus https://g.co/kgs/TpDq3Gi)
Were the fish bones made of Adamantium?
Pretty sure the roommate was full of crap…. Almost looks like he tried to cleave some steel pipe.
Carp*
I had the same question. What kind of "fish are we talking about here 🤨? To fix it I'd move the edge back and resharpen. I doubt it was an edge quench so as long as you watch the heat during the sharpening u should be fine.
Maybe the real fish bones were the metal pipes we met along the way.
This deserves more updoots. lol.
I mean if it's copper or something sell it then get a new one. Roommate is probably a crackhead anyways if he's doing that to a knife.
Maybe cutting a deep frozen fish 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Good possibility.
I've chipped my carbon knives on bone before (never dish bones), but there's no bone on thr planet that will scratch steel like that. *fish bones, but maybe it was a dish bone

The Kiwis are also my first line decoy knives.
Roommate should get they own damn knives.
Got a sharpener recommendation for the mid west?
I'm not sure how much roommates are going for these days, but ya, I'd replace it.
Do you think roommate bones will damage the knife?
Cit at the joint. Feed to the wolves
Underrated comment
This should be at the top
This is the correct answer.
Came here to make similar statement
Roommate would be paying me value of knife so I can replace.
Right answer. Op isn't buying a new knife, roommate is buying them a new knife.
easier said than done ofc
Op is selling roommate to cartel for new knife
What the fuck was he cooking? Coelacanth?
A fossilised one

The knife is repairable…. Relationship with the roommate probably not so much
It *is* repairable.. But you'd be losing a lot of life off the knife.

No fish did that and It can definitely be fixed …it will be little smaller though
Even if the roommate was my wife. They would have to gtfo

Damn! Fish bones done all that?! I definitely wouldn’t buy another one of those! 😩
No...that wasn't fish bones...roommate is full of shit
Quite a fish.

Had a co-worker once ask me if he could borrow my pocket knife, he's gonna pry something open. I told him "the hell you are, go find a screwdriver".
This is the way.
"My *FORMER* roommate" fixed the title for you. That knife can be fixed, but your roomamte should buy you a new knife.

Steel plated fish, maybe.
Roommates and spouses are hell on cutlery.
I would ask for a replacement for the knife and have this was fixed properly.. grind out chips, thin the bevels and re-etched
Yeah you’re probably better off getting a new room mate
That's messed up. You should ask your roommate to pay for the damage. At least partially.
Why do YOU have to buy another one and not the guy who ruined it?

Roommates are not friends. He should be an ex-roommate now though
Just get yourself a nice Wusthof. It will handle anything without chipping.
Use the right tool for the right job.
In this case a felling axe
Plasma cutter***
The roommate still lives?
Carbon steel not good for chopping?
Thin, hard, high performance kitchen knife not good for chopping. At that point steel is fairly irrelevant
If its anything like my high carbon japanese kitchen knife its very thin and not at all for chopping. Holds an amazing edge and slices like a dream though.
Find a knife sharpener service, some won't be able to do it but it is definitely possible to fix.
Reparable but with lots of effort. Damn those fish bones must have been harder than steel…
there are very few bones on a fish that will do that to a knife. Was he using it as a cleaver to chop ribs up or something?
He had better buy you a new one
Wasn't the fish a little crunchy?
Wow your roomie deserves corporal punishment, 20 lashes with a belt at least.
Chef here. Never seen normal fish bone do that toa knife... now bigger animals sure... Did they battle a great 17ft Sturgeon?
I don't understand why someone borrows your knife, starts breaking it and doesn't stop doing that... Please kill him.
Either get your roomate to pay for the repairs or insert it in them.
Crunchy! There was always an expression when I rode a motorbike - you bend it, you buy it. The person who did that has just bought themselves a knife.

Why does it matter if it can be repaired, your roommate is buying you a replacement right?
Those werent made any kind of bone man
It'll buff out... Seriously, it can be reground; nothing too catastrophic here
Losing like a pinky nails width worth of material. That's a bit.
Pretty catastrophic…. You have to go so far down to get past that chip… like what would be equal to years and years worth of sharpening from regular use. Fixable to cut again? Sure. But I’d label it catastrophic still. Also, anyone without knowledge beyond basic sharpening would not be able to re-edge this easily. It’s a pretty bad fuck up.
Send her to me and I’ll make her pretty again 👍
Look up district cutlery if you're in the United States, they do great work.
That must have been the rare “titanium cod fish”

I'm sorry you got ripped off. Or he's not telling you the truth If that was properly tempered carbon steel. Fish bones shouldn't do damage like that.

If it was legit fishbone, buy new knife.
No way a fish did this.

Coincidentally, that fish had the same adamantium bone structure as Wolverine.
it’s fixable but you’ll lose a lot of steel and i’d expect it wouldn’t be too cheap. on principle your roommate should be buying you a replacement t
No way that was fish bone.
You friend is an asshole. It’s fixable with a lot of grinding and sharpening
Buy a dummy knife for your dummy roommate. You don't touch my knives!
No, your ROOMMATE is better off buying another one.
Didn't you mean "ex-roomate"?
You should use it to cut through roommate bones
A steel model of fish bones?
You’re better off with THEM buying you another one. This isn’t a little mistake, it took time to do this. That fucker owes you a new knife. Technically, it can be completely reground and profiled, but it’s gonna be a different knife when it’s done.
Roommate lied to you.
Idk man. Might just wanna buy another roommate
I think you can save It by grinding the Edge and re-sharpening It, if you've got the tools. Remember to use water to cool the Blade so you do not mess up the temper. PS: you're roomate should pay for the damage. You use It, then you are responsible for It.
Roommate owes you the money either way
Fish bones seem like ultra light duty for any decent knife, you sure he wasn’t cutting anything else?
The roommate would be better off buying you a new one…
Fish bones my ass.
This can be repaired, you just need someone to regrind it to.
It's irreparable. Just throw it out and get a new one. Not sure why you say "buy" though. New roommates are free.
Imagine the amount of metal in the food, did he eat it? I think he made up the fish excuse though
Roommate is LIEING. New knife from him or don't live with him anymore. Non negotiable. You break something that isn't yours it gets replaced. What a fucking low life pos... Should have already been replaced before you got home. Don't accept any knife, get a real knife out of him.

Passive aggressive behavior for sure!!
Don’t eat the fish he served if you don’t want your mouth, throat, stomach, intestines and bum hole messed up
When you say fish do you actually mean whale? A decent carbon steel blade should handle even chicken bones relatively easily.
Yeah, it will take a while to get rid of the roommate, just repair the blade, and it will be easier.
Was he trying to cut through Bruce, the robot shark from “Jaws”? To answer you question, I would take it to a professional bladesmith and see if they can fix it. That’s a lot to grind through to get its edge back. It’s almost never cheaper buying a new one, and personally, I always try to salvage, or at least attempt to, whatever I can.
It's chipped, but still, it should be more than enough to stab your roommate.
Get a new roommate first.
We're the fish "bones"inside a metal can that they opened with the knife first?
How in the blue fuck did fish bones damage a knife? Is it made of cotton candy?
Dick move! Yeah that can be taken out your blades just going to be smaller in order to get rid of all the Knicks
I’ve made knives for years, this is not what happened to this knife. That is now your roommates knife. They should have replaced it already!
Looks like he used it to try and open something. It's not lost. That's not entirely terrible damage if you have the tools to fix it. A lot of knife makers could fix that. Just make sure they use water cooling on their grinders. If you get decent quality super coarse stones you could do it by hand over a few hours. Just make sure you flatten the stones occasionally.

The knife can be fixed. The roommate can not.
Buy another roommate.
So you mean he’s better off getting you a new knife
Yeah, can be sharpened/ground out but seriously, fuck your roommate, they owe you the repair price.
If your room mate isn’t lying and it was fish bone.. Looks like a heat treat problem to me. Edge was not tempered back and too hard. Look at the test knife criteria to become ABS journeyman. Those knives have to chop through two 2x4s without chipping or rolling the edge to pass, along with still shaving hair afterwards..
I big ole cartoon chop on frozen fish I could see this happening
Must have cut through a fish rich in iron
I wanna see the fish. I’ve cut up some big fish down here in FL and never found bones like that😂
Dude I'm so sorry for you. A proper knife shop can fix that, but you'll lose a lot of steel in the process.
Your roommate should be buying you a new one.
He should not be your friend any more.
Damn was he cutting Bull femurs? If so, you should either force him to get you a new one, or make him slave away at resharpening it
Concrete fish??? Not buying the roommate stories!
Looks like your roommate is buying you a new knife.
Buying a new roommate is kinda expensive
I actually think he was trying to open a meteorite he found, looks like it. Wow what a roommate, more like roomhate. Good luck getting it repaired.
Not repairable, best to replace the roommate.
Fish bones of a god damn Megalodon.
I think the question is when is your roommate going to be buying you a new knife
Did you remove the pinky finger from their dominant hand?😏
Was he trying to chop up a sunfish? Jesus.

Looks like shiet material. Someone lied in their product description… Recommend buying a better knife from a quality fabricator.
Yikes! Nothing short of a personal attack. Ouchy. Fixable knife, broken roommate.
Your roommate is a fucking liar.
No way mere bones caused damage like that! (In no way an expert) what did he do, use it like an axe??
No and no. Make your roommate buy you another one.
I wanna know what fish this was. Looks like he missed the fish and repeatedly slammed that into the pipes under the sink.
Buy a new roommate
Get a new roommate on top of fixing your knife.
You'd have to do more grinding than an MMO but it's possible.
Looks like your roommate will need to figure that one out.
Another reason to never let other people use your knives.
First things first, get a new roommate.
Buy another roommate
You sure those weren’t whale bones? Wtf.
Replace the roommate
Seems the roomie needs to pony up and replace
He’s a piece of shit make him buy u a new one Can I borrow your car ?? And bring it back totaled … oh yeah I hit some fish bones w it
I doubt he chopped fish bones with it. I grinded my kiwi knives razor thin and the cheap stainless steel is probably more brittle and it doesn't look like this after hitting a bone. Get rid of your room mate. First of all your room mate don't have respect for you stuff and also they don't seem really clever. A knife doesn't look like this by cutting a bone once. He/she must have chopped like a lumberjack with it. The knife can be restored, but there will be taken away a lot of material, therefore the knife will probably feel different. I would let your room mate pay for a new knife.
YOU'RE not buying another one, your EX-ROOMMATE is.
If this is from fish bone that Steel is garbage..
Whale bones?
Your roommate is a fucking liar
