Can anyone tell me how a cymbal cracks like this?

I'm going to guess that it doesn't sound like all great K's do, but I could be wrong.
nonsense!

I dunno how a cymbal cracks like that, but in case you were wondering (although you didn't mention it) buy that cymbal!

For 20 dollars you can't go wrong.

I don't know. But I found a few cymbals with tiny cracks on 'em on ebay.. aax's, A's, etc.. that are starting at 99 cents.. with no reserve.. right now 200 plus cymbals are goin for 10 bucks..just they have tiny cracks in them.

A crack WILL change the sound of a cymbal, but not necessarily negativley. I have a china with a GIANT crack in it(from well before I got it), but I think it sounds awesome.

buy it, and ask K to replace it. then you just got a really cheap K Zildjian.

I have a crack like that in my Pro Sonix Crash. Dunno how it happened. Usually when I see cracks it's near the bell or on the edge. Not in the middle.

I wouldn't get the cymbal though.
