Anyone have this on their SHF? Am I being too nit picky?

Thanks for the input everyone!

I called the dealer today and they were a huge help. He checked other examples and found me one that has no marks. I’m sending this in for a exchange.

He did say a couple others had the same marks but not as bad. If I planned to use this and not a collectors piece I’d let it slide. I’m planning to buy a plain jane as a user. I like this knife that much.

I’d send it back and get a new one. But the Spartan blades are excellent users. The SHF feels like an extension of the hand. You would most certainly enjoy using it, it’s a lifetime and heirloom quality knife. Use it in good faith 👍

I agree. I see why pm2og on IG said he likes them better than crk or Hinderer now. CRK is still king in my opinion, but this harsey is damn close.
 
Out of my three large SHF folders, one of them has similar marks, although fewer of them than your example.

Never bothered me before, probably will continue to not bug me.
 
My willingness to accept goods that are less than perfect is in step with the amount of money being charged for them.

In other words, if you want $50 for a $25 steak, it better not be - chewy"...

Good call and glad it appears to work itself out! That fact that you started the thread to me means that it would always nag you in the back of your mind.

The SHF is a damn fine knife, you deserve to get one that meets all your expectations.
 
I'm of two minds here. 1st if you spend that much then it needs to be as close to perfect and man can make anything. On the other hand I think everyone is too damn picky about everything today. Much of that comes from "unboxing" mentality & video's. Lets face it if your going to make a video of taking a knife out of it's box, then you NEED to find something wrong so you have something to say. Or, what's the point of the damn video in the first place? In the end you need to do what's best for you and to heck with what everyone else thinks.

I agree 100% with this. That’s why I made the post. I am of two minds as well. Happy I called though. It’s been a extremely smooth process. DLT trading is 👌🏼
