I spoke too soon. Thought I was out in the clear. I've had the knife I received from Josh for less than one week now. Last night I was using it to slice up a few things at a BBQ. After just a little use the lock on the knife jammed (push button lock), after some gentle examination with a flashlight I realized the internals of the knife appeared to be covered in some sort of glue. I decided at this point, I've already been had so I might as well examine so that I can share my discoveries with the community. Upon a quick exam of the internals it was obvious someone put this knife back together in a very slip shot way after using it a bit. As a result when I put it up to some use the precariously placed internals began to stick, rub and malfunction. I would love to say that I did abused the knife that way I can at least explain what happened, however I treated the knife like a loving extension of myself and was still disapointed. No $150.00 knife should break after 4 days of light use. Josh knowingly sold me a lemon. All I can do is laugh at myself because I thought I lucked out but now I realize the feedback section exists for a reason. This is not to bash Josh or PVK knives, just sharing my true experience so that you to may make an informed decision. I should have listened, that being said at least I got to fondle my dream knife for several days. I really loved that knife. Live and learn. I guess it's better than having it break on shift.
