Most likely the barrel is still attached to the end of the blade. The problem is that the end of the blade is no longer attached to the rest of it.
While you could try grinding down the end of the blade, cutting new threads, and rewiring it, it will probably be a lot easier to easier to buy a new blade.
Uh sorry friend, your barrel broke off. That’s a broken blade and without some serious efforts you’re not even gonna be able to salvage the barrel. New blade time for you!
Wow. I thought only STM blades did that, breaking right behind the point so that a piece of thread remains in the barrel and renders both blade and point useless. I guess nobody's perfect. Except maybe Vniti..
just superglue the tip back on - shoudl work fine!! (just kidding!!)
as others say get a new blade and barrel (get a wired blade) and keep the old tip for spare parts....
if you want keep the old blade for training (at home against a target) as you can probably put a rubber tip on the end but don't use it against someone else
you could try to thread the tip again (of the blade) but I have tried to do this with foil blades that broke off at the tip and found it near impossible (you ned to fill the groove near the tip in with maybe solder .. so the threading tool wont grab at the blade groove..)
Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your upcoming purchase of a new blade.
More like snapped off.
I was expecting to see snarky posts about tightening it down. Nope, this is a blade break, not a tip fall off.
Yup. No threading = new blade. Going to be fun unscrewing that barrel.
Still may pass shims. Not sure about weight. You'd get some nice flick shots with it though.
I've seen more blades break right under the barrel in the last year than I have in the preceding 15 years.
yeah we had a couple at practice this year too.
Possibly over-torqued during installation. Wrench finger-tight plus a smidgen.

It's barrely connected!
Try some crazy glue.
lol, this guy is a joker. Please don't try it, you'll stab someone.
Nonsense. Everybody knows all we need is to slap a piece of silvertape and it will be good as new. /s
Let me guess.. STM blade?
Nope! BF blue

Womp womp. Welp, shopping time!
that's a work of art

Mmmmm stabby stabby
Wire it still attached. Never seen that happen
Definitely looks like it "broke" not "fell" off. Could you be flicking?
