Many of you are familiar with the Kershaw Ken Onion Random Leek -- a limited edition S30V steel, Boron coated, reverse tanto Leek. I traded a forum member who works at Chesapeake for a NIB one a while back.

I mailed it to Kershaw on Friday for a minor warranty repair. Stupidly, I guess, I wrote "Kershaw Knives" on the outside. Fortunately, I insured it, although I later decided for a little less than the replacement cost.

The ENVELOPE arrived today at Kershaw -- with a nice slit cut in the envelope and NO KNIFE! The knife was securely closed in a strong padded envelope. I even wrapped a rubber band around the knife to prevent an accidental opening.

I have to conclude this was stolen by a USPS employee.

The GREAT news is that Craig at Kershaw still has a Random Leek that he is willing to give up. Kershaw has been fantastic to deal with in all respects.

This is extremely disappointing. My first really bad experience with the USPS.

Here is a pic of my former Random Leek with a NAA mini-revolver:

The USPS has plenty of thieves. And the worst ones are the ones administering the insurance claims. I'd be interested to know how soon you get paid. You got this in a trade--- they will want the original receipts. They took over a year to pay me when the package had never been delivered!!

I solely use DHL now. Never a problem.
