If you are going to try and use their warranty then you better have your receipt handy. Also, it better have been less than a year since you bought it. Otherwise, their warranty is useless.

Had it 6 months or less and I have the receipt somewhere along with the box- but I do have it
 
I find it kinda weird how you keep beating around the bush with what you were actually doing with it. Either way, I think it was probably a lemon that made it through QC.
 
I spent some time yesterday throwing my triad lock American lawman. If held up just fine.

What were you doing with your knife?
 
First off, Union or Confederacy :D (someone had to ask)

Well, Civil War war reenactment... your knife collided with a bayonet or a calvary sword?

Horse stepped on it?

Wagon ran over it?

Shot it through a cannon?



Sorry to hear about your knife, and I have to keep guessing since it's a mystery as of the moment.
 
Either he is a drama queen or he did something stupid with the knife and is to embarrassed to tell about it. ;)

Either way I'm hooked and hanging around till he gives it up.

It would seem as if you have told us a whole lot of nothing, other than you broke the tang of the Spartan. Kindly post some pictures and tell us exactly what you were doing when it failed, otherwise it just looks as if you are blowing smoke.

roflmao!
 
what the... you just broke the cave man blade, that's incredible...congrats...
I just want to see the broken spartan as soon as possible...and I'm gonna laugh at it
 
Until there are pics, it didn't happen. And there's no way it broke under any sort of reasonable use.
 
I don't think the knife is broken, if it really is then something was done to it that was way over the top because it's extremely hard to break the Tri-Ad folders.

It wasn't done with hand pressure, no way, nobody on the planet is strong enough to do that by hand.

I used to say that until I saw someone break a 1" A490 (grade 8 equivalent) structural bolt with a 14" long spud wrench. It can happen, but there has to be a flaw in the steel or something like that.
 
Is it really that hard to get pics? Is it really that tough to explain what happened to the knife?

I know the truth!

It was actually a Lord of the Rings LARP, They are taking the Hobbits to Isengard.

I know what you mean, but that knife isn't big enough to get that much torque on it without using cheater bar or hitting it with something very heavy.

The torque would have to build and that just ain't going to happen with a knife lock because as soon as they let up the force goes back down to zero again, it's not like torquing a bolt where the pressure stays the same and can build up.

There, you're talking about a serious difference in the amount of lever arm/torque. Give me a two foot wrench and I'll break pretty much any bolt in the world that isn't used to hold bridges together. Here, his hand is only about two inches away from the point of failure. That would have to be one serious flaw in the steel. I could recreate the blade out of brass and watch people try and shear it off with hand pressure all day long.

Yeah, that isn't going to happen for sure.... With hand pressure.

You can break just about any bolt with a 2 foot cheater bar if you work on it long enough.

Just can't get around math and Physics....
