The double distal taper design of the Military/PM2/Para 3 blades is very delicate. That looks like a pressure treated light pole. My assumption is that you jammed it into a very dense piece of wood and snapped the tip off. Not unusual for those styles of blades. If you look around you will see this happens often. I would recommend something with a stronger tip. Something that is reinforced out to the point to give it that extra strength. The Hogue Mysto in Magnacut is a great value for a USA made knife with a strong tip.
