Bad Survive! Deserves A Permanent Post In The Hall Of Shame

New email from S!K:

"Answers for Common Questions
This first video is an honest conversation around a comment we see from some folks, "The knives are really great but the company never delivers." Though we have delivered thousands of knives over the years, there have been some limitations because of the realities of the world we all live in."

Now they are blaming "the realities of the world." I don't have time to watch Guy bloviate this morning, but I am willing to bet he will not even mention their current tacit policy of not responding to refund requests or answering phones.

There shouldn't be enough folks to be some folks and there wouldn't be if they did their job and sent out knives.
Then some folks would be a handful of unhappy people and that happens to every business. When it's to the point that you have to say some folks it's no longer just the usual smattering of complainers, it's You.
 
Looks like they couldn't keep the Facebook edited enough ... It has been deleted. Haha

Now they habe YouTube and Instagram.

YouTube let's them review comments before posting. Hence why they're mostly positive.

Instagram they don't allow any comments.

It's sad watching Guy try to hide the truth and scam more people.
 
I am kinda surprised that they have not deleted their FB page. it is the only social medial platform that will not allow them to proactively censor comments, and the only place where you get a somewhat honest view of what S!K customers are experiencing. They do block A LOT of people, but the endless flow of new disgruntled customers shows just how bad things really are.

Guy's current strategy is to leverage YouTube. He posts a lot of BS on their himself, but he is also being smart and using other content creators. He finds guys with a moderate following and a room temperature IQ, and gives them nice knives and special treatment. These creators make fawning videos for him. There are a lot of people in the YouTube world that have no idea what S!K really is that are lining up to give Guy money based on content creator reviews. Unfortunately, many of these customers are just a few months away from discovering what a mess they are buying into...
 
Weird... I can see it now.

I saw that they removed the Facebook logo link at the bottom of their webpage. That is why I thought is was gone. Odd

Prediction - since he is “pushing the equipment so hard,” the shop will catch fire and burn up everything including all records of orders.

Just a wild guess. Hope I am wrong for those with orders still pending.

They already had one big building burn down that they used as an excuse for many months of delays, why not again?
 
I can see it now “well we’re finally moved in here at the Corrections Facility, and it’s going to take us a little while but we’re gonna start cranking out orders. The Delta 3V looks like it wasn’t worth the effort and we’re finding great edge retention in toothbrush handles. The benefit is we save time because we can’t heat treat plastic.”
 
WhatsthePPOINT_EDC just deleted a multiple post conversation on his Y T "review". The conversation included a few disgruntled customers that could not get a refund and a few posts pointing out how S!K does business. WhatsthePPOINT_EDC will hear none of it and thinks Guy and Survive! are awesome.

"What's the point?" is right.
Another great question- "where's my knife?"
 
More Guy word salad videos up.

He shows one...ONE blade with inclusions haha. I bet he has to find one to show so he can make more excuses to buy time.

There are 445 knives listed on BladeHQ that are made from Magnacut. Peters’ Heat Treating claims to have processed over 64,000 blades of Magnacut for over 100 different customers. I don't see others complaining about Magnacut. Guy has been making excuses since 2013. S!K still cannot provide accurate lead times, reliable answer emails or provide refunds. Draw your own conclusions.

We have sold hundreds of thousands of pounds of MagnaCut since it was released. It's our best selling cutlery steel for a reason.

According to Guy, the steel is defective, and the supplier and manufacturer are giving him the run around. His last video blames Crucible AND Niagra by name, and he says that he wants compensation from the supplier for the bad steel.

Thanks very much for the info.
I suspect we all already know the issue isn’t with the steel, but in is great to know Magnacut isn’t in a slump because of one company’s… challenges.

If there is a way, you should probably not supply survive with any more product. They are nothing but trouble.

I am glad to see it's getting the sales it deserves.

As mentioned earlier though, these crooks are dragging your name through the mud.

According to Guy and Ellie they have so much bad luck that people a block away have bad luck just by being in proximity.
