I agree with LizaMarie in post #46! While I admire Jerry for his fantastic warranty, I think anyone who purposefully abuses a fine knife, gun, tool, etc. is a total idiot!!! I have always taken very good care of my "tools" and "toys". I try to buy the top of the line, high quality, items and TAKE CARE of them! I absolutely HATE to see anyone purposely "abuse" something!
