Likely that tool post will have a hard skin, but nothing but butter underneath so if you chop through it it will not hold up to a hammering like an interrupted cut with a bit of knock to it????

bloody good point, that will explain the weird low spots on it. (looks like someone has hacked it with a file or something)
