My Sad Becker Failure

That sucks man, sucks hard.

I kinda like Bladite's perp gun idea, btw.
 
That does suck bro.

It really isn't a Becker failure.

It's your failure to realize the power the 9 has in mesmerizing people with it's pure awesomeness. Even if it's just in thought!:eek:
 
This is yet another example of why I'm more comfortable around steel than glass.

There's no feeling that's worse than breaking something that isn't yours. sorry to hear about it.
 
moose, fo' the last time, I ain't not a kid. I will just tell one of the 3 reasons i call myself MrKnife"Kid" is when I am around blades or i get a new blade, i feel like a kid. that is one of the 3 reasons, and the other 2 are lenghty.
 
In hindsight, while the vase shattered on the ground, knowing you would have to pay for it, you should have just yelled out " F*** this vase!!!". At least you would've gotten a laugh out of it.
 
First - Not a Becker failure, it was a "you" failure.

I used to do some work in an antique shop, and they understood that stuff gets broken. If it was an accident, much like what you did, they would not charge the customer at all for that. Why? You lose a customer for life, because they never want to go in again, so you lose more money in the long-run. I'd fight paying for that vase. They probably got the money from you and they'll get the money from the insurance company as well.
 
I had the edge chip on one of the old Camillus BK2s. It was a tiny chip when I was trying to sharpen it, but shattered like glass. So I put it in the oven for a couple of hours.

Craziest part is, I never had that problem with any of the Carbon V that Camillus made for COld Steel. Supposed to be the same steel and all.
 
I am sorry this happened and am disgusted that a trinket salesman would treat one of our boys in blue (or khaki or green or whatever color your department wears) this way. I’m sure your colleagues in the department, along with your bros and sis’s at fire, ems, animal control, wildlife resources, building codes, etc have been made aware of this abomination. Next call for service it might take awhile.
 
would you please quit telling me to go to court over this/ It's over now, and it really doesn't matter to me. It just got me out of a few Beckers.
 
You don't need to go to court, but you shouldn't have paid for it up-front. If you weren't goofing around, who's to say that piece was properly set on the shelf in the first place? Hopefully it doesn't happen again, but if it would, I'd at least negotiate the price if I couldn't get out of paying at all. Protect your bank account...nobody else is.
 
Insurance...................... YUP yupppppppppp yupppppppppppppppp.

This is part of THEIR business. Accidents happen.

I had something similar happen at an antique show once. I "allegedly" bumped a display and dislodged an EXPENSIVE platter on the other side. It was behind me in a crowded aisle. It didn't crash down at my feet, I may have brushed against it. I'm not sure................... When the booth owner grabbed me, I was not a happy camper. He wanted to be paid. I refused and wouldn't allow my wife to settle up either. He got threatening, gonna call the cops, blah blah blahhhhhhh. I held my ground. I said, "I'm sorry, but that's part of doing business. If my child had done it that would have been a different story." He muttered a lot but finally sucked it up. I bet he does a better job putting fragile displayed together since then.

To this day I think I was right............... The least the store staff could have done was split the difference with you.

I try to be an honest person, so I felt i was doing the right thing paying it. I might talk to my insurance to see what they can do, but it really does'n't matter to me.
