Being a bit simple minded ..some call it stupid, I have a tendency to take words like the origional English meant and not some BS lawyer interpretation.
An e-mail response from Kevin clarified that his warrantee is limited to exclude abuse, neglect and stupidty.
Got an e-mail from Kit Carson that recently refinished my U2 after I had a bit of useage under the belt. He refinished it and took care of all my questions ....AT NO CHARGE. This best ....this morning I get this e-mail from him stating that if I should break it, he will replace or repair the defect every time for the life of the knife .....note life of the knife not while in my posession. Note that I bought this one second hand already.
I am now listing makers that I rate 5 star on service and products :- Jerry Busse, Kit Carson, Newt Livesay and Bob Dozier. (Trace Rhinaldi to be added soon by indications)
Bottom of the crap pile :- Guess I have enough enemies for now.
Check out http://www.yebo.co.za/~moorea/warrantee.html
My e-mail is on there. Mail me the maker or his URL with your star rating, I'll send him a mail to clarify his warrantee and I'll post this.
I must admit that after the TUSK uproar I believed that Kevin should be rated very low. But I have to admit that a number of people have come forward to stand by their MD's and I have to be even handed. One swallow does not a summer make !!!
Simple answer : I believe that Kevin should replace the TUSK and I also believe that his warrantee should be clearly stated before more people end up with very expensive scarp metal. That is the above URL ...think I should rate overal service as well ...what do you think.
Sorry for being quiet for so long ...been travelling for about 6 weeks with no Internet.
