CW Tip Failure!

Let me give you a tip, you're not doing yourself any favours by big noting yourself about how many forums you belong to or run. Nobody gives a rat's arse and it means nothing here.

It's nice to see a fellow country man stand up for me, good day to you too. For what I was asking in the first place. Do I have to pay for shipping!!!

Big note hey. I had to mention this as it seems that I'm getting pushed around by SOME of you men. So now you know, I know my rights on a PUBLIC FORUM!

By the way, keep your comments to yourself. Unless it's something constructive.
 
It's time to LOCK this thread down please Eric :thumbup:. I'm sorry if some here got the wrong message, but it's hard to type down exactly what I wanted to say. So it might of sounded like I meant one thing, I can assure you I didn't!

I'm no longer interested in dealing with this Semi forum "Swamp Rat" any longer, as I feel I cannot approach issues without getting shot down. But maybe some members here think I'm doing the shooting. Anyways, onwards on upwards men. Good day to you all :)
 
You certainly think highly of yourself.

I'm sure that once you come down off of that high horse, people around here will be MUCH more open to whatever you have to say.

Or feel free to continue glorifying yourself. It's actually entertaining.

Nobody is pushing you around, but you are trying to push Swamp Rat with threats of blackmail. Some of us choose not to ignore this fact.

If such a place existed, you might. This is a privately owned forum. You have no "rights".

You also can't have it both ways, claiming some mythical right to free speech (and blackmail), but telling everyone else to keep silent.
 
338 Stalker, in my experience, if you want warranty work done, by any company, you pay shipping.

for example, CRK, they will cover warranty, but you pay shipping, its not that hard.

By claiming that you would rather keep a damaged knife, than send it overseas for warranty at your expense is just ludicrous. Its only 30 bucks aussie, I know because I've sent a fair few things overseas.

You are being a stooge, who cares what forums you belong to.

I can go to the local supermarket for free, but its still privately owned.

Stop giving us Aussies a bad rap

Is English your first language?

This forum is owned by an individual who can run it any way he pleases. While the public is invited to use it, it is NOT a public forum. You have no rights other than those the owner chooses to let you have from time to time.

If you choose not to conduct yourself in a manner that the owner, or his representatives, think fit, they will take whatever action they consider necessary. I'd suggest that you might be the one who needs to check things out.

BTW, can you swim?

Open to the public, yes.

But. . .
Privately owned- so there are no "rights".
The owner makes the rules, which happen to be pretty fair.

Nobody here is taking offense at his high opinion of himself. He could claim to be Midas rich and Einstein smart until the end of time as far as I am concerned.

I'm going to say this once and once only so you can clearly understand it....

This is a private forum. It is owned and operated by one man. It is not owned and operated by the people. The owner has the right to refuse entrance and ban those who need banning by not following the rules of the private forum. He allows you to come here and play and expects you to follow the rules of the forum he set. You have no rights other than the few you think you have.

Now....regarding your attitude. I don't like it and I will not allow someone to make threats or blackmail or extort anyone which is exactly what you are doing. You may not see it that way but it is pretty cut and dried in your previous posts on the matter. If it continues then punitive measures may have to be taken. This is not a threat. It is simply how it is. Eric asked you to contact him to sort out the details. Have you? Has it occured to you that maybe SR would be willing to reimburse you for return shipping? Have you even attempted to find that out? Do not expect anyone to treat you with respect when someone here has stepped up to speak on your behalf and try to sort things out and you dismiss them.

I will not close this thread and I hope Eric doesn't as well. I highly suggest that you sit back, relax a bit, and contact him and discuss your options and that an arrangement can be made that is satisfactory.

They may or may not cover shipping, but that is between the OP and the company. Speculation does no good on this matter.

The fact that he was trying to blackmail Swamp Rat by threatening to spread negative reviews across "allot" of forums, before he even contacted the company. . . well, that is not very cool to say the least.

I agree.

In my experience, which isn't much. I've paid shipping.

It may not be the case at all, but it is something I am prepared to do every time.
 
Like I said. I might of sounded allot worse than I meant. If so, & again, I did not mean that.

All I wanted to know was. Will I have to pay for shipping, because if that is the case I will just keep the knife. It's still works great. That all. But I just CANNOT get my point across some how. And that was, arrrhhhh it doesn't matter. I'm on the edge from being BANNED by the looks, because I either have bad english skills or the way I type. I didn't know I had to be a certain race & college professor as well.

It is not what you stated on that forum that concerns us. It is your attitude and what you said here that are the issue.

You said:
It is in SR's best interest to pay all costs & replace the knife in question. Or it will look odd when folks see a Swamp Rat with it's tip snapped off in some of my outings.

How is it in their best interest? Are you, one person, going to single handedly bring down a reputable company because you refuse to pay a few bucks to send it back for warranty repair? Paying shipping back to have something repaired under warranty is standard operating procedure here in the US. I would rather pay the return shipping and get a replacement from them than have go out and buy a new one at greater expense.
 
Gotta hand you one thing Stalker, you woke up this forum!

I'm glad you finally realize that you had an unintended message in your early posts. It was pretty blatant to me and evidently some others as well. I hope this gets worked out.

No one has threatened to ban you. There are other less severe actions that could have been taken if it had to come to that (and I don't think it will). Had you simply posed the question of whether or not return shipping would be reimbursed to you, which is a very valid question, and contacted Eric promptly instead of what you posted things may have gone a bit smoother and no one would have jumped on you quite a bad as they did.

I hope things work out and that you get a new knife.

I hope not. Swamp Rat make fine knives! You still don't get the point behind the pictures do you. It's not for my sake, I couldn't give a damn about a new CW. But I will get PM's & questions regarding the tip, when I do more tests like this one.

I know I will. So that's why I thought it was in SR best interest, that all. If I didn't post tests it would matter, but I do. Are you starting to catch on.

Look, sorry for all the confusion. I meant nothing by this. And maybe I worded it wrong. If so, I didn't mean too. So can we please move on :rolleyes:

Okay, a lot is going on here that could have been avoided if you would have contacted us first as we ask or even if you would have contacted me as soon as I first posted to this thread. If you would have contacted me I would have addressed all of your concerns and we could have done it in a private manner. Then you would not have had all these people misunderstanding you and you would not feel you were going to be "banned". And you are not going to be banned (at least for what you've posted so far).

I see you have now emailed me and I've responded, please let me know if you receive it and if there are any additional concerns.

To everyone else, in the future if you have any questions or concerns about what we cover and what we don't it is usually best to bring them to the Company rather than assume anything.

Also for what it is worth, IIRC this is the first CT, RW, CW that had enough damage that it required a replacement (there was one CT that we replaced but we did so because we wanted to keep the original ;) ) so of course we want it back so that we can look at it.

Also for what it is worth, please note that while the tip is missing this knife could still easily function as a survival knife if needed if you were in the soup and needed it. This knife didn't fail it just lost it's tip, while this is not something we would have anticipated the damage is far from a complete failure.

Lastly, our warranty will cover the knife and now that the OP and I are in contact via email I'm sure we can work out the details of the rest.

Jennifer put it best a few years ago when someone asked her about warranty work, she said (and I'm paraphrasing) We try to treat our customers fairly and all we ask is that they also treat us fairly. With this in mind I will continue to stay in contact with the OP via email so that everyone feels that they were treated fairly.

Eric
 
On the basis of this post alone I will be buying all the SR and Busse blades I can afford!

If you ask me, if they are prepared to replace a knife that was broken I would be happy to pay the shipping.

You're getting a new knife fer crying out loud. What the hell is there to complain about?
