Can something break in your hands?

Is this possible?
The knife broke in my hands.

Does it mean 'while in your hands'?

Thanks

Yes, because you could say "I ate dinner in the kitchen." In this case, though, you should clarify that the knife didn't break inside your hands. That would be gory.

We would expect something more fragile, like an egg.
