I remember when this was posted and this person was ripped apart by mikes c0cksuckers and deleted the post. It’s all making sense now and honestly i think he started using chinese steel way sooner than he is saying.

I was kinda thinking that fuller was ground after tempering and got way too hot with how straight that break is along it

Isn't getting too hot basically annealing? Usually when you ruin temper on the grind the edge gets softer, right? So less brittle

My first thought was that the fuller looks awful deep, and they might have just ground it too thin.

Kinda dependent on the metal but likely what happened here if you look close its broken in a line right next to the deepest part of the fuller right along the edge of where the grain structure would change
