First off, Kershaw is a top of the line company. First rate CS, and put out a great product. Also, it seems you are using your knives for different puropses....Does Kershaw advertise their Zing as being a wire staple puller? No, I didn't think so. Also, I believe you should post some pictures to see if you're not bullshi**ing us. And the Sandvik steel Kershaw uses is actually a great steel for the price.


FYI.... Punctuation and capitalization is your friend.
 
Well just my 2 cents but knives are for cutting. Cutting only. Not prying. And impacts from 25 feet. Cutting. Period. Punctuation. Awesome.
 
I have two leeks 420a and composite, a RAM, and a CPM154 Blur and they are amongst my favorites. The Blur was my sidekick on a room remodel last year, I even abused it cutting some drywall when my utility knife was inaccessible. Kershaw's 14C28N gets sharp enough to cut the ugly off of a orangutan. Do you have any actual pictures of these broken knives or transcripts of these emails?

Dammit! Why can't I find a knife that won't break when I use it to lever 20KG beams into place? They are all such trash!

It's like a million monkeys typing on a million keyboards finally churned out a bladeforums post... :rolleyes:

I don't even understand what you are trying to say. Try it again, in English this time. What is "14/3" and how did it rip the "teeth" off of your knife when you were trying to cut it? Are you somehow surprised that you damaged your tiny liner lock zing while prying up metal staples? What the hell does "There for the have dropped off of 25ft tall picks and yes 25feet down" mean? Are you trying to say you chucked your knife off a 25ft drop?
 
Kershaw's not the best company, but honestly, they are far from the worst. And if you don't like them, don't buy it. No one's making you buy it.
 
I have had nothing but good experiences with ZT/Kershaw warranty.

Sorry for your loss.
 
since the op says in a round about way that he abuses his knives, i would not blame kershaw for not honoring the warranty if they decide not to in this case.

I find it especially ironic that he claims to own a construction company yet seems to have absolutely no concept of using the appropriate tool for a given job (or of taking care of his tools by not dropping them from 25 feet up).

Oh, you're not the only one. Not to mention that one of the abuses he blatantly admits (using the knife to pry objects) is specifically mentioned in my ZT's warranty as a form of abuse.

Seems a bit immature to be pissed off at a company for not honoring warranty when you openly admit to abusing their products beyond the intended use.

Lol, so pointing out your misuse of knives = us having no jobs? Feel free to educate me on the train of logic here. Also a fair bit of lols at how you blatantly admit to misusing a product, incorrectly blaming the knife company when it's your own fault, then feeling surprised when people call you out at how absolutely wrong you are.

13 is too young to be allowed on the internet.
I know he's 13 at most...just watch, in a few minutes he'll post how he's 30 (or whatever age seems "cool" to him), weighs 200 (or 250) pounds, etc.
 
No, there's plenty of adults that haven't graduated from high school yet have computers anyway. I guess he should be happy he knows how to read, even if he doesn't have any understanding of spelling, grammar, or proper tool use.
 
I have had a Kershaw Blackout since 2001 and have only had one issue with it. The torsion spring broke after many thousands of open close cycles. One call to customer service and a replacement was on the way, no questions asked. The blade (440A) doesnt seem to keep an edge like other knives I have, but I have yet to break a tip. I have a Buck with a busted tip (and no i dont pry or abuse, I just use the crap out of knives) So while the buck is out for repair i got a Kershaw Leek.

I dont know where you think the 14C28N is junk steel. The blade on the leek is like a fillet knife on the end and it seems to hold a good edge, Ive only had it two days, used it like crazy and even accidentally dropped it on the blade and it didnt break. IMHO kershaws fit and finish on their 50$ knives is right up there with many rivals $200 dollar models.

Don't take my picture post too seriously, I'm just kidding around. I have no problem with your disdain for Kershaw knives and Kershaw the company; that's your prerogative. It's all good. Life is fun.
 
Serious question here... TimmyP, Are you that dude that beats up knives in a hockey mask on youtube? If you are, you rock!!!

Wow, such a great post! :rolleyes:
You originally posted about how Kershaw knives "suck" and now you talk about other random shite. You also said Kershaw sucks, because you dropped a few of their knives from 25ft and used it as a stample puller. It is your fault, not the company. Use the correct tools for the job. OK, so I'll use a Maglite as a hammer. And when it breaks, I'll get pissed because Maglite is a terrible company due to it not performing the wrong job. Also, still waiting on the photos!
