It’s probably mostly new buyers who don’t know the history, and a few shills who’ve been lucky enough to get what they ordered in less than a year. It’s the same thing with the cash-grabbing ‘free’ mobile games - after a few months, players catch onto how they rope you in to spend, spend spend. By the time they figure it out and close their wallets,, there’s a whole new wave of
That is exactly who it is. Guy has leveraged YouTube and worked with a few "influencers" to promote his product. He HEAVILY moderates social media, and a lot (most?) of his new customers have no idea that the S!K train-wreck has been ongoing for a decade.
People weren’t behaving in the exchange, putting laugh reactions on sales posts. Mom and Dad took the reaction buttons away. Now I have to decide how funny something is- if it’s worth throwing some emoji’s in a reply. What a hassle.
A decade of Guy, sitting around after hours… trying to figure out how he should break the news… if he should break the news. He was probably advised against it, but he decides time and again to put himself on the line and tell people who’s fault it is that they aren’t getting their knives.
I really doubt that they are competent enough to actually calculate order fulfillment numbers... However, I doubt that the "real" numbers are better than what they post.Checked to see if Survive updated their Production Schedule and they did not. They're going on 4 months with no update. I did find this update to be hilarious considering they posted it on 1/2/2022.
You're in top form today, Blues.

I think out of everyone on here you hit the nail on the head. People were trying to swarm me on here cause I gave an honest opinion. I rolled the dice and I got my knife. Was it nice? Yes, yes it was. With that said, I think Guy is a good knife maker, but he is really, REALLY, bad at managing his business. He is in over his head, and he refuses to hire people or bring in folks to teach him how to run his business properly. He needs to get those old orders out before he ships anymore newer knifes. Those folks need to be at the top of the list!
Honestly you wouldn't have these hurt feelings if you didn't try to get a knife from him yourself. Anyone that does a review on the knife has zero issues with it. The problems aren't with the knife, it's with Guy who cannot run his business properly. I knew something was up when his girlfriend admitted to me in a letter to being the only office person who is also out on the floor helping to box and send orders. Hard to have customer service when there is nobody hired for that spot. To little butter spread over far to much bread, and that's just the tip of the ice berg.
What customer service? S!K literally has NO customer service! The only person that does that role is Guy's girlfriend who is also boxing and sending orders, then tries to email people at night. He should hire some people and stop working his woman like a government mule.
Correction, but Carothers has their Delta Heat Treatment. Survive Knives has their blades treated by Peter's Heat Treatment. So not only are they doing what S!K is doing, but they heat treat their own blades as well and from what I've seen do a fantastic job at it. I wasn't coming on here to sound like a S!K fanboi lets get that out of the way right now. I love their knife designs, so much that I gambled 280 bucks in the hopes that it would pay off and lets be honest here, buying from them is a gamble. Mine paid off. Would I order from them again? Hell no...
