Cold Steels Blade Weaknesses

...One bit i would like ot add here, this is getting kinda long, is that i have a CS spike, tanto blade, and that thing is sharp as all get out, and keeps an edge well. Its just got a better geometry to it, and better steel, i think.

i have a customer realtions story - i retail production knives as a sideline [and to fund my habit.knife buying habit that is].last year i sold a CS Laredo bowie to a bowie fanatic.he returned it a few days after,due to a QC issue.i sent the blade to CS.there was a long delay[about 2 months] and then the customer called to tell me he received a replacement in the mail [i had included letters from the both of us with the return].i thought that was the end of that.a few days later i received a replacement as well.it seems we were compensated for the long delay as,when i emailed CS they had confirmed sending 2 knives.i'm not singing their praises or flaming them,just relating my experience

I was under the impression that you wouldn't mind having (2) Two brand new Voyagers sent to you as a nice gesture from CS to replace your One damaged Knife?!!

Was I mistaken by wishing / hopeing that might be the case?!!.:confused:

The Voyagers are still made with AUS 8. Are you sure about the knife? Waas it plain edge or Serrated?

Why were you cutting "free hanging wire"? was it job related or were you doing a mini "proof" on your own? :)

Send in back with a short note in 2-3 weeks thay should send you a new one. They were real good about replacing my voyager after I beat the living hell out of it. (note: now that I am older and wiser I wouldn't have sent it back as it wasn't really damaged. I was just afraid I pushed the knife too far and my fellow Marine all damaged or destoryed their knives that day..)

I am sure it was Vg-1 because it is stamped on the blade. To answer your 3rd question the blade is plain edged. And to answer your 4th question I was cutting the wire because it was job related and I was also doing a mini "proof" just for fun.
 
FYI, the SRK is (or at least has been) issued to Seals coming out of BUD/S. You can watch a documentary from the Discovery channel and see it in use.

I was surprised to see this given how easily the steel rusts, but the knives are a great price, simple, and are respectably durable for what you get.
 
I cant freaking believe it. I used my tracking number and I found out that Cold Steel received my damaged knife on 6/5/06. Today is 6/28/06. So its been about 3 weeks and 3 days. What in the hell is taking so long?
 
I hate to say it, but that's not considered a long time for this kind of thing if it's a repair. Of course, I'd probably just replace the knife for you. There's a certain amount of pressure on them to do some repairs as you can't just replace every knife. But also, I haven't seen too many VG-1 knives lately, so they may have a supply problem.

Let us know when you get it.

I will be glad to
 
This Monday will be a month since they received my damaged knife. Shoud I call them up and bitch at them? My dad said if I didn't he would for me.
 
Go for it but i doubt bitching at them will get the knife faster. If anything you would just piss them off and the wait would be longer.
