I had a CRKT Ryan model 7 that one of the handles cracked on it. I contacted CRKT to see if I could buy some more handles for it. I was instructed to ship it back to them. That model has been discontinued so they asked me what other comparably priced model they could replace it with. 2 weeks later, a new knife arrived. That isn't blazing fast service but in their defense, they were in the middle of an inventory when I spoke to them. The people I spoke to there were very friendly and seemed to care about their customers. Since I've bought 40+ of their knives in the last couple of years, it felt good to be treated well by their customer service department. A good value and good customer service is a winning combination in my book.
