That is just plumb crazy someone would do that and ask for a warrenty. I use my knives hard and the worst wear on any of them is when I left some blood on the handle and my rottweiler decided to chew on the handle for awhile. Those dishonest people should not be allowed to own such great knives.
 
I have to say this is one of the best warranties i have seen. I normally refuse to ask for warranties. try explaining how a coworker set your leg on fire, or you accidentally dropped it in a grinder and it shattered when it hit the wall, or a large voltage burned the metal. I find it best not to send in the shrapnel to back up the truth of your stupidity.
 
so yeah...grind a new profile into one of the izula's or make it a wharnie and I'll take it :)

Seriously, I'm carrying around a knifekits knife as of recent, damn thing wont take/keep a proper edge at all.
 
I think you guys need a couple of sections on your website for photos/stories--one for pieces returned for good and legitimate reasons with good stories behind them...and one for all of the "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" pieces with your own interpretations of what probably happened to them. :D
 
This abuse irritated me. I'm all about using my knife as a cutting tool. And not through concrete or steel unless an emergency occurs. Then the last thing I would worry about is preservation of the knife, more self preservation would apply. Some people just want to push it I guess. Seems like taking advantage to me.

42 and I will write the dialougue for what we think happened:

Idiot #1: Hey man my mom is cleaning the basement today and it's totally screwing up my Dungeons and Dragons tournament. Wanna check out this sweet blade I got and go destroy it? It's got a lifetime warranty.

Idiot #2: Sure, can I bring my sweet samurai sword I got at the fair?

Idiot #1: Pffff, totally. I'll bring my knife throwing target I made in art class. It can't be that hard, I seen Kevin Costner do it in The Bodyguard.
 
Oh the horror!!! :eek: I don't understand the way people abuse their knives and furthermore to then take blatant advantage of a great warranty. Thanks for showing us what kind of *crap* you receive. Oh and thanks for not letting the small percentage of dumb asses ruin it for the rest of us. :thumbup:

It almost looks like NOSS got a hold of a bunch of your blades for "testing" or something...

Nah, if he had there'd be more pieces and a series of LONG videos up on youtube demonstrating just how much freaking abuse these ESEE knives could handle before fracture. Given the response to the one he did test, it wouldn't surprise me if every dealer then ran out of them - not that noss is that popular, just that it's hard to find that level of durability in a knife at that price, and the more people who get to see video-evidence of it, the better for ESEE!

My hope: the folks who busted these knives did so in such a way (or ESEE's warranty service was such) as to inspire 3 of their friends to go out and buy ESEE for themselves, friends, family, soldiers, ... (too much wishful thinking?) ;):thumbup:

Exactly, and you're very close to the percentages. We can live with the 3 percent of fools becasue we have 97 percent that are great folks. So, we don't get all that mad but we do like to post the dumbassery up. It's sort of like the comic page of the Sunday newspaper.

Great structure,great ethics and great business practice.:thumbup:
 
I wonder if there are stories attached to any of these that might make their breakage seem more legitimate? Think: "used in the act of saving a life". I'd bet that any that come in for that reason would have a story attached to them, though, right?

Sorta' off-topic, but this reminds me of one of those "reality TV" build-a-bike shows, or some such, where one of the guys took a torch to his Craftsman wrench to reshape it for a specific application. After willfully "modifying" that tool he had the gall to brag that he'd taken it back to the store for a replacement. Dude, you just showed on national TV that the tool's "failure" didn't have anything to do with the original manufacturer!
