I had my seb sent in right after the first of the year to have the lockbar repaired and while it was there I had them install the double silver lugs and refinish the handles.
All this work, and from leaving my hands to returning back to my pocket was 8 days as well.
I hate to say that I have to send mine in as well..... It turns out it wasnt a good idea to take mine apart in the kitchen at work, with all those drains on the floor.
Both washers slipped out of my hands and went straight into the drain.....
After speaking to Heather on the phone, she said that all washers are hand fitted as well, so they have made it a policy that they cant send out washers for us to hand fit.
Its not that big of a deal to me, but its going to be a looooong week for me, I tell you what. I have to pack her up Monday (missed the UPS next day deadline in my town [11am], even though Boise is about 6 hrs away, go figure) and send her back in.
Is there any way that I can request them to resharpen my knife at a specific degree? I love the edge that I put on mine, but the tip is somewhat rounded (early attempts w/Sharpmaker) and I like a 30 degree inclusive edge.
