6 with no molle locks?

They're showing the 6 out of stock. Is it possible they couldn't get the full kit so they ordered blade only and sheaths from the wholesaler then pieced them together without the molle locks? Either way, unless the wife ordered knife only plus a sheath, that's not what you should have received. We'll see. They don't show KO on the site that I can find.
 
We do indeed sell a knife only option, as we do sheath only. I don't think this is the dealer's fault now that we get the whole story ;)
 
Tim is a standup guy and runs a good operation. it sounds like you bought the knife and sheath only. IMO its not the end of the world. i dont really care for the plastic MOLLE locks. if i was in your shoes i would get the cordura MOLLE back and be done with it.
 
Here's the deal: we sell knife only, sheath only, MOLLE Locks only, etc to the whole dealer network. How they package and re-sell them is on them. But from your initial post it was like you bought this as a standard package. Now I'm realizing you may have bought it as components. If that is the case then the dealer is NOT at fault here unless they advertised something different than what you bought. My apologies to the dealer for assuming something but I was going on what the OP was, and there has been a rash of problems lately with end users not getting everything that was suupose to be in the bags from some dealers. Again, my apology to the dealer in reference to this thread.
 
Jeff- they weren't made as separate purchases. Don't know if there's an issue with posting a link, but here is the page:

http://www.tacticaldefender.com/ese...-point-blade-black-molded-sheath-p-52333.html

Note that the description doesn't say anything about the MOLLE locks, but since it is roughly the same price as other vendors for the complete setup, I figured it would be the complete package. Also, the pic of the sheath does show screws in the holes (wow double entendre), so I thought it would be complete.

For what it's worth, like I said in the original post, the knife was a gift from my wife, and she didn't know to look for the clips to be included. Caveat emptor I suppose, but this still seems like shady dealings on the part of TD- assuming it wasn't just an oversight, of course.

So long as his wife ordered a KO and a sheath, I agree.

Since they didn’t show it on their website that a KO was available or that you can even buy a sheath separately, that’s what threw up the flag for me. If she ordered him an ESEE-6, it should come with all the goodies. If she ordered a KO plus sheath or it was explained to her that is what she would be getting I’m fine with it, otherwise I think it was poorly represented. I always give people the benefit of the doubt and a chance to clarify. Could be a big misunderstanding.

OP, be sure to post back here what you hear back.
 
That is between you and the dealer now. Especiaily since you said that they were packaged in two separate bags and you even mentioned that the one bag had our stock number label on it with a KO in the number. That means Knife Only and that's what the dealer got from us because that's what they obviously ordered.
 
He has the Lite Machete and Junglas both w/ sheath and knife only. It looks like his stock is low, but I would assume he does the same with the rest of the sets when it is in inventory or expected.

Did your wife order that exact item/link?

Have you talked to him or emailed him about it? That'd be the first thing I'd do if I were you.
 
OP if they don't make this right let me know and I will send you a set of my molle locks w/ hardware.

As a consumer this type of stuff frosts my nuts. Again, assuming it wasn't a misunderstanding/mistake.

I'd say this is a little misleading on the dealer's part since most consumers are excpecting the standard package.

Send me an email jeff@eseeknives.com and we will get a set of MOLLE Locks out to you since I can easily see how you got misled by that ad.

I agree.

Did you say you had talked to him about it yet? If not, you should probably talk to the dealer first before framing him as doing something wrong. Before we pull out the pitchforks we should get more information.....
 
obsessis- she actually ordered the clip point originally, when we talked about the advantages of drop vs clip, she called Tim and changed the order- at that point he said they were out of stock of the drops, and that it should ship within the week. At no point did he say it would not be the complete rig. What I'm thinking from the posts here is that maybe he got a knife only and sheath only as separate items from his supplier, then put those together and shipped them, since he didn't have any stock of the complete kit.

Absolutely agree with other comments- I'm not gonna cry foul until I hear from Tactical Defender. He seemed nice enough when my wife dealt with him on the phone- I've sent an email, and I'm prepared to give him every (reasonable) chance to take care of the situation. I'm not looking for anything special, just what you'd expect when ordering the complete kit (which she thought she had). Obviously, if I'd known it was just knife and sheath from him, we would have gone elsewhere.

I'll let everyone know as soon as I get a response.
 
I belive the owner of Tactical Defender posts here from time to time and seems like a nice guy. It may have been a mistake, or maybe he was running low on inventory like others have said and "peiced together" your order and forgot to grab the accessories.
 
By part numbers what the dealer got from us is correct. My point now is the way it is advertised. I'm thinking that since we only sell the whole kit with Coyote sheath, the dealer is making their own "kit" by buying the black sheath separate but if they do that then they need to put the MOLLE Locks in there also, or otherwise be VERY specific that it DOES NOT include MOLLE Locks.

Correction: we use to only sell the coyote brown kit. Now we offer them in colors in the kit.

Again, I think this is all a misunderstanding on the dealer part and simply overlooking to include the MOLLE Locks in the package.

I'll be dang, of all the browsing I've done, I've seen a few places offer the knife with the different sheath colors. I didn't know the kit only came with the standard coyote.

ETA: Looking at my usual vendors they are apparently putting it together as a kit.

And that's obviously what happened here since we only recently started selling the 6's with different color sheaths in the kit (last year some time). So, he must have been working off the old stock way of Coyote Brown only and thought he had to buy a black sheath separate instead of buying the kit already complete with the black sheath.
 
As an aside, I thought it was interesting that the sheath has the older triangular RAT Cutlery logo on it. I imagine this supports the theory that it is from an older stock? The knife has the ESEE logo, and I kind of like the fact that it represents different stages in the company's history, especially since I have had an Ontario RAT for a while now.
