CS Beaver Tail

Not that it matters but he did mention that they offered him a one time discount. It wasn't in this thread though. It was over at another forum where a thread is posted.
 
Again from my perspective I look at this from just about the opposite side: I see dngrruss1 comment that he is "very close" to CS and it peeks my curiosity... I don't know exactly what the rules are around here but that sounds oddly like he may be an employee or vendor of CS...on some of the other forums I frequent they frown upon not disclosing or being upfront about that type of thing. Response from those with a vested interest start with a "Vendor Alert:" type of statement. Again I am new here and perhaps that type of norm doesn't exist in this community.

Say you take your kid to Mickey D's and they get a ice cream cone....upon receipt their so excited that they dance around and PLOP the ice cream falls out of the ground onto the floor right in front of the registers...even that sixteen year old pimple faced kid knows that while your child is at fault- it's in Mickey D's best interest to mop up the floor and give the kid a new cone.

that'd be fine, except in this case the kid turned his ice cream upside down and shook it just to see if it would stay in the cone. he knew good and well he was risking damage to the blade when he tried to use it as a splitting wedge and now he's whining because he didn't get a free replacement. this is a simple case of playing a stupid game and winning a stupid prize, and he needs to be an adult and accept the consequences of his actions instead of wanting somebody else to pay for his mistake.

i never understood all this "hard use knife" business in the first place, but then i was raised to follow 2 rules about knives and edged tools.

1) always use the right tool for job.
2) never ever force a blade. if it's not doing the job then something is wrong and you're going to get hurt.
 
How about rule no.1: always use your brain first.
Some people disregard that rule.
 
my only dog is this fight is that sometimes although your decision is the right or just one...it isn't always the one you should make.

my experience comes from a product that had we eaten would have cost us around 5 large, since we were in the right it seemed like a price we weren't willing to pay. In retrospect if you asked any of the principals how they would have handled it knowing what they know now...they would just break out the checkbook.

I am sure a knife company as big as Cold Steel can withstand a few negative threads on the internet just fine, i haven't been around long but I am sure this isn't the first and won't be the last.
