Seriously, it’s like repairing it requires the same skill level as repairing a rocket engine. I have 7 fabrication and still 0% chance to fix.

Are you on a recent experimental? It was updated with a significant buff to be default CVD Diamond Edged about [two weeks ago](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/61619), and it got the NO\_REPAIR tag as a result.
