"My first TC, It's a "S" but the only thing wrong..."
What's meant by "S"? I saw another comment about these being "S" models.

the S applies to store only and a 2 refers to a second. as Christine Tucker explained

I thought I heard S for store only is because it might have a very slight defect . I could be wrong so please chime in if I'm not .
Could of swore I read that somewhere possibly on a sales thread .

I didn't polish the bolsters on mine. I just made them a bit more satiny. I don't like the heavy lines in the finish GEC leaves on satin bolsters. A little emery cloth, rust eraser and some Flitz. I may hit them again to smooth them out a bit more.

Well done

That's right. It's a knife they'd prefer to sell in person because of some nearly imperceptible defect. I think of it as tiers... 1st quality > Store knife > Factory Second.

honestly i couldnt find any issues with their store knives. i even asked Patty who pointed out the 48 weasel sitting in the case had uneven and ugly stag. which i suppose in their strict qc makes it a store only, but I thought it was perfectly fine. same for the 15 i bought during the rendezvous

In my experience, the most noticeable flaw on store knives is, by far, the "S".

Are "s" knives voided by warranty?

there was a sign there in the store near the store only case. no returns i believe

 

[BigBiscuit]

A return is different than warranty.

I don't think I've added my pics to this thread yet. Remedied in 3... 2... 1...

Now.

So "s"knives can be sent in for warranty issues?

 

[BigBiscuit]

Mine is well on it's way to awesomeness!

 

[Ramrodmb]

Yes it is, Bob!

 

[WhittlinAway]

I was traveling when mine arrived and I finally got to open the package yesterday. It was worth the wait.
