Aha, Now I see. I thought this was a blade you had formed from raw material and spent many, many hours in its construction, only to have the tang break off after an exuberant round of chopping.
I know where your coming from in the personal satisfaction category. I love fixing things others say can't be fixed. Farmers use GPS to steer their tractors down a field. Makes for less overlap or missed areas, hence less wasted seed, fertilizer, time, etc.
Anyway they would break the ends off the cables and the dealer would tell them
"There's no repair, a new one is $149.00."
I stocked the ends. I charged $7.50 + tax for the end, it took me 5 minutes to crimp it on so I charged $5.00 for labor (I thought $60.00 an hour was more than fair) and the customer was out the door for $13.00. Me and the customer both got a personal satisfaction out of fixing something that "couldn't be fixed".
