WOW greater, I hate to hear that as I could sense from your posts that you were really anticipating the Che'. I hope what you got was just a fluke and that you get it replaced with one that operates as it should. I know it took me over a year to decide to put as much money into a Boker as I did with the Titan Defender. Thankfully mine worked out better than I could hope for and led me to another Boker, AF-FD, and now a third, the Lightweight Titan Defender. Let us hear how it all goes!
