    Free knives to give away

    We have about 12 each RC-3 knives that the Air Force is returning to us because they ordered the wrong knife on their purchase order. These are brand new. I'd like for all the mods here to come up with some type of contest to give these away since we don't want to put them back into inventory. Not sure when they will be returned but it should be soon and Mike will ship them out accordingly. Now, what other company gives this much stuff away?

    I'll just take them off your hands Jeff, make it easier for you.

    Just kidding, we'll think of something good.

    And it'll be a skills contest! After that piss poor showing in the wilderness ops contest were making you guys earn these knives!

    Whatever the mods come up with is good with us. This is all Shotgunners, Mrs. S and Tony's thing.

    Cool.

    The amount of product that you guys give away amazes me. Makes a guy wonder how come all the other manufacturers are so stingy.


    Can't wait to see the contest. I need to get outside anyway...it is starting to get nice here.

    I'll be honest with you, we do our best to operate at a 25% margin on most products. Sometimes we are above and sometimes we are below that. But we average around 25%. We have never wanted to "get rich" in a business. This is about enjoying what we do and supporting a customer base that has been VERY good to us. We are very open about our business and how it operates and we've built a customer base that trusts in us because we don't lie to them. Customer service and customer interaction is everything to us. For a while it bothered me that I couldn't be in the forums as much as I wanted due to a work backlog, but now that Patricia is with us full time I'm able to get on here and have fun with everyone, as well as interact on skills and new ideas. And most important, when it comes to this forum we have the best folks in the world moderating it. Tony Dobbs and Mike and Katie Beckett are second to none. In my opinion, this is THEIR forum. Whatever they want to do, give away, etc. is up to them. We are here to support them as moderators and all of you as members.

    Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with. I am finally in a good position to enter an outdoor-type contest.

    Thanks for the amazing generosity as well as the positive influence to the forums.

    Nice!

    Thanks in advance ESEE Crew. It is one thing to give stuff away, but I know a lot time and effort goes into just running the giveaways.

    Thanks.

    They meant to order an electrician's type knife so when they got the RC-3 knives in they sort of freaked out. The Staff Sergeant purchasing agent called asking what to do. We told them to send them back and we would credit their card and that would be that.

    Of course I won't complain, but aren't you guys supposed to make a living by selling these knives?
