Here here! What baffles me is that I've seen some of thier knives on the exchange and find them well, much like an late 70s car made in the US. Why take a chance on such an average offering with ugly handles? Sorry for the low punch.

I've wondered that as well. Fanboys are going to fanboy I guess...

Here's a fun story from a few years ago:


Link to original post

Apparently nothing has changed, other than Millet no longer working with S?K.
It didn't take long for Guy and Ellie to burn that bridge.

Some more humor would be that Survive has knives up for sale at another website while people who ordered knives over 6 years ago are still waiting.

That was pretty quick.

So what's held you off from banning me? Surely posters in this thread would be much happier without my heresy.

Oh I am sure your on other forums defending Survive because they reward you somehow. Either your from the fanboy page and change your profile like Joe or others and yet they always get their knives quickly to look up unhappy customers and run them off. Everyone does things for a reason just like selling to retailers knives when others who have been waiting over 6 years have not gotten them yet but go ahead and hide behind no promise date even when one is supposedly made.

Survive will never be 100% complete on all orders because they will always make new ones to bring in the money knowing that it will not be soon people will get it. It is a lie to say things have improved so much that all orders will be fulfilled in months not years.

If I say I will buy you a beer in 6 years if you get me one today is that a good investment? Will you or I be around in 6 years? What could transpire over that time frame to make it a bad investment and the list would be far too long.

I get it you don't care if 1000s of people are done wrong as long as you get ahead and there lies the true motives for what you do. I can tell you that warranty issues for others don't go so smoothly. The only ones that seem to love the company's policies are the shills, trolls, and scammers.

At the end of the day do you fit into one of these categories?

I've said before, I really like the 7/7 design and would liked to have had one... much the same as a SNG.

My moral compass however won't allow me to support a company who's business model is based on "robbing Peter to pay Paul" nor can I support a company that was built on a lie.

I ended up with one and trust me there are flaws. Injury to your hands is likely if you are not careful due to the geometry of the blade. If you hold a HDFK and the 7/7 you will not use the 7/7 for fieldcraft. It strikes me as more of a fighting blade design than a woodsman blade. Sorry I don't remember the tech... names for the issues. I have seen other models on sale at other sites but I just can't support them at this time. I hope they get their act together for the sake of others but my faith in them is gone.

I ended up with an original 7/7 way back when surfail was still in PA. I agree that it was much more of a fighting knife than woods knife. It felt kind of like a big unwieldy kitchen knife to me. It also arrived with a blunted tip (bought on secondary but it was NIB). After a trip back to the shop to be fixed I quickly sold the knife. Not impressed with the design or the f/f. Then, the company moved and got deep into doing what they now do, which is con and scam.
 
It's crazy to me that, while other people are getting screwed, someone can be like, "meh, that's their problem. Sucks!" and then orders more products from that company.
1) I don't know how anyone can have confidence in purchases in light of the facts.
2) I don't know how anyone could disassociate their financial support of an unethical company.

I'll answer:

1) they aren't that bright
2) they are also unethical

Holy shit that’s irritating to watch. I especially liked the paper cutting test after the bone chopping- the one where it clearly hangs up on the part of the blade that got bashed through bone- and they’re still celebrating and chest-thumping. They liked it so much they are giving it away.

Maybe they could go chop part way through some more soft pine or split some more white birch. At least they were smart enough to end it with a super awkward jump kick instead of chopping for 4 hours. Just imagine what it could do to particle board!

Nothing like watching grown men lip smacking their way through a burger, talking with their mouths full.

Just watched it. Love those guys.

…and if you liked that, you oughta see the Cutco infomercials.

I noticed they didn’t talk at all about the guys still waiting 7 years for a knife. That’s a downside of this survival knife. Might not be in your hands when you need it.:rolleyes:

Of course not. That’s old news… nobody cares. Well… except like you 8 guys.
