Drop test, or a Glitch in the Matrix?

Sorry for the poor quality of the pic.  All I had was my phone.  So I make it a habit of doing the drop test on my rough use blades.  A guy wanted a Saeux for hog hunting.  This was a Nicholson specialty file with a soft back draw.  I've done this to at least a thousand blades, first time this has happened.  I cringed as the blade swayed back and forth, but it stuck with no damage.  I think the HT is right.  lol.  Dropped on concrete from about 6ft.  I know some don't like this test, for most blades it's a little much but I'd rather it break for me than the end user.
