Well I don't know what to tell you guys. I called and talked to them. They were nice to me and very helpful. I sent the knife and then talked to them 3 days later. The lady I talked to said she took the knife to the area where they fix stuff and the tech there started working on it right away. I was assured it would be shipped back immediately. I am calling them tomorrow to make sure it is done. I am sure the fact that it is for military use may have sped up thier priorities a little, but other than that they were good to deal with. I have read about their service in the past, but I just take things at face value. Meaning, how were they to deal with for me. Not someone else. I have only sent two other knives out to be fixed since I started collecting. One was a Spyderco, that was replaced faster than I could spell Spyderco. The other was once again from a custom maker that has been ousted like crazy around here. I sent him my knife, and not only did he fix the issue, he even made more expensive embellishments on the knife for me at no extra cost. So like I said I take things for how I see them to be from personal experience.
