So, you self-proclaimed “experts” have any real survival experience, or background at all, and I don’t mean a weekend survival school?
Do any of you geniuses have any first-hand knowledge of our gear? Or even second-hand?
I’ve had enough field experience not to judge any equipment before I’ve spent at least a week or better in the weeds with it. You haven’t even held it in your hand, so what qualifies you to make the criticisms you have? What qualifications do any of you have? None, I bet, for the reasons I’ve just stated.
The only opinion that I value is from professionals, not wanna-be’s. You guys need some real experiences and maybe you’d have something real to talk about. We get feedback from real men, soldiers that put their life on the line every day, sending us letters about combat encounters, using our Razr in combat, as entry tools, popping windows and doors, using it to break seat brackets to free trapped gunners that have the side of their armored vehicle caved in on them, and they had to be extracted with the chair, etc. ….
We send boxes of field munchies to theses men, with their gear, and they send us souvenirs and letters of thanks for our tough gear and support to our troops. These are real professionals, maybe you should send them some of your third-hand opinions and see what they think.
I am so tired of runny-nosed wanna-be’s, I could scream, and it makes me ill. Maybe I’ll point a few real soldiers to your little site, that could make for good reading.
You all don’t have what it takes to be real field operators, or you would be, so the best you could do is stay in the comfort of home and try to impress everyone with your banter.
You know, it’s sad and even pathetic that you waste your time (and other people’s) hiding behind a computer, insult and ridicule someone and something you know nothing about at all.
You can’t afford my products, so you sit behind a computer and gossip like old ladies in a sewing circle. Really guys, take a look at yourselves!
I don’t have to ask any of you what any of you ever designed, invested in, or had the initiative to develop, ever, much less built with your own hands. Dumb question, I already know the answer: absolutely nothing.
Know why? Because you can’t, plain and simple. That’s why you’re doing what you’re doing right now.
If any of you would care to come to my shop to see how someone who actually crafts steel and equipment, I truly invite you to see how real equipment and gear are hand-built.
You all have my contact number, I’m sure it would be one of your first real life experiences to step out from behind a computer and meet someone face to face for a change. My shop is quite impressive, in the middle of Florida’s Everglades. Now let’s see who will take me up on the invitation.
You know, one of the most disturbing things in the world today is that most people’s mouths are as big as the internet, sure is safe there, huh, fellas?
If you guys wish to spend a weekend out here at my Ranch, you are more than welcome. I’ll even call your Mommies and clear it with them, if not, don’t bother real people.
Your “fun” at my expense is greatly outweighed by the e-mails we receive from real soldiers from Afghanistan and Iraq that have had our equipment for quite a while now, and from a year to two years later still thank us for our great gear.
Hey, I got a novel idea! Why don’t you guys consider enlisting in some area of the military, so that you may even have to use a knife at some point (other than using it for cleaning you nails). But somehow I really can’t see that happening with any of you without a computer screen to hide behind. God forbid you should ever have to confront or be confronted with any kind of weapon, and your Mommy’s not there.
I shouldn’t be so critical of you guys as you are of me, for the same reason I stated earlier, I haven’t met you and I don’t know you, but what am I supposed to think other than you have no backbone or any basis on which to make your opinions. And you know what they say about opinions … That’s the difference between you and me, I do, you talk.

P.S.: I won’t return to this site to see if you boys are done picking on me, you’ll hurt my feelings.
P.P.S.: This is an e-mail we received a week ago from an operator in Afghanistan who purchased a Special Combat and Survival System almost a year ago. This is somebody who has had real experience with our equipment.
“Mr. J Lightning,
This is SPC John Langford. I bought one of your special combat razrs a few months ago. I was chopping one day and the last chop went through and i nicked the blade a little on a rock or something. The nick is toward the point. Would there be anyway I could send it to you and have you get the bur out of the blade. If you don't remember me I am the one that bought your last leather sheath that could be used for horizontal carry. Anyway I do love the knife and sheath and really appreciate the quality.Thanks for your time.
SPC John Langford
RE: SPC Langford,
Absolutely, no worries! Simply send just the knife to us, well wrapped so it can't punch out the box, with a check enclosed for return shipping and insurance.
I will put a whole new edge on your knife and re-heat treat the edge so it will be the same as you bought it new, no charge.
Depending on how deep the nick is, I don't want to completely remove a flaw. I'll judge it, and do it accordingly, but understand that if there is something little left, if will come out eventually with future sharpenings. We just don't want to grind your knife away for no reason.
Anyhow, glad to fix it for you! If you're still around to beat it up that means you're still intact and that's much preferable!
Good to hear from you, stay safe,
J. Lightning “
