Just to go the extra step, here is a copy/paste of the text:
Orderd mine 4.1 29/7/16 still waiting....I received almost the same exact message. Ordered my 4.1 in Feb
She explained that my 7/7 and 4.1 factory seconds ordered in February are on the table ready for handle fitting and final sharpening and I could expect to see them soon. I
Wouldn't a factory second imply that the knife was finished all ready and not up to standards? Not on a table ready to have the handles fitted and then sharpened.
This type of comment doesn't help anyone.Yes it's best if you suspend all logic and common sense, Seconds ordered in February are on the table in September getting finished ?
The Kool-aid must be delicious!
"Wouldn't a factory second imply that the knife was finished all ready and not up to standards? Not on a table ready to have the handles fitted and then sharpened."
No. It would imply that something existed that was not up to standard and so had resulted OR would result in a knife not up to first quality standard. But, as has been clearly explained previously, it does not mean that either. The sales of "seconds" are based on projections from experience and no second-quality part(s) or materials may actually exist when the "seconds" are sold.
I was surprised when I checked the S!K forum that all of this drama is STILL going on YEARS later for S!K. This thread reads just like the thread I was on a couple years ago. The issues have not changed (looks to be worse now since some of the knives from back in those days still have not shipped), and the excuses look to be copied and pasted from any number of past threads dating back years now.
A number of us still hope that things are taking a turn for the better.That was my feeling exactly. I was one of the early adopters. My 4 (m390), 6(3v), 10(3v) and 3.5(20cv) where all delivered but the last two pre-orders took way-way longer than they should have (a red flag for me), so I decided not to pre-order any more. Many months later in 2015 or thereabouts by pure accident I came across several threads just like this one. I remember thinking this is not going well at all for SK and I felt lucky that all of my pre-orders were eventually delivered. Fast forward to 2017, I have noticed that millit has started to CNC knives for SK so I thought that the things where turning for the better at SK, - so I decided to check this sub forum - and I come across this thread - still same issues - what a clusterfuck.
5 years from now, if they are still in business I can almost bet you'll be reading the same BS issues and some will still continue to preach it will get better.That was my feeling exactly.

Hate to point this out (again) but here is another poster that created an account just to sling shite at Survive! Brad new account and 8 posts all on the survive forums. Not saying this guy isn't legit but my suspicion grows daily about the campaign to complain.
Or I can just actually be upset customer who waited 2.5+ years for knives I never got that I paid for in full. I'm not out to get anyone. I just want my knives. So it's "wrong" for people/customers to share their factual experiences but "okay" only if I speak highly of Survives....Right. Hmmm, you're always speak highly of Survive and always defending them whenever anyone becomes critical of SK so do you have have an association to Survives. I only have a few post because I don't live in these forums. Whatever dude. PEACE!
