I was asked for a proof, so here it is. My advice on survive: don't do preorders (you will probably never get them), buy what is in stock, if you want S! knife, and if not sent within promised period (10-15 days) ask
PAYPAL (dont pay with cards, dont ask survive for refund) for refund emediately after that period. I ordered my GSO4.5 that was in stock and ready to be shipped as described in text (read carefuly, soetimes they write they are waiting for sheats - dont buy that, wait when is truly ready. And they sent it the day after. I have 3 S! knives now, and 2 I never got but got refunds from paypal (after 6 months wait), so I was dumb then to make preorders, now I just buy what is in stock and ready for shipping. Their business model is realy shady and who knows what will they do next, but if you play smart, you get amazing quality knife I must say for a decent price. (I had much more exprensive Bark River knives that some of them were really screwd up, uneaven grinding etc... and here from Bosnia there is no return option for me. I dont like Carothers designs. I have many other cool knives such as White River Ursus45, Architect FB 6.5 and 5.5, Castroms, Fallknivens..... but I also love S! designs and ther perfect fit and finish which never disapointed me in that manner. Remeber, there is no return a product option to USA from Bossnia, so waranty doesnt mean anyting to me. I dont have nothing from Esee no question asked waranty, If I break an Esee, it will be lost knife for me, straigt to trash can. Shipping costs and customs procedures would be as expensive as buying another knife + waiting it takes 1 month for it to get back and 1 month to arrive to me again, in ideal case). But play at your own risk!
