Well,
Where do I start?
Not too long ago I asked STR to make me one of his ouparators. I got it and it was absolutely flawless. My only issue was that it was too stout for my weak little thumb.
I told STR and he immediately told me to send it back and he would loosen it up for my wussy little thumb (that's not what he said, but you get the idea). Rather than do that, I thought.....Hey, I can adjust the lock contact area and all will be well.
Fast forward: Imagine me standing over my work area, dremel in hand, knife torn apart with a sinking feeling of complete failure. I managed to adjust the lock contact alright. I also managed to OVER fix the lock area. I took off too much metal from the area and now had a great knife that had significant play.
I contacted STR and hesitantly told him of my goof up. He patiently told me to send it back and he would look at it. At that point, I pretty much knew I would either be buying a new lock or a new blade. Either way, I was pretty pissed with myself.
Well, STR emailed me today and told me he was able to fix it and to top that off HE DIDN'T CHARGE ME FOR IT. Needless to say, I am very grateful and wanted to say publicly that I greatly appreciate it. I have also learned a VERY important lesson: just because you have a dremmel doesn't mean a. you know how to use it and b. you should use it. Lesson learned. Period.
Thanks Steve. Thank you, thank you.
