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

Guy now claims that Paul Nesper, the attorney representing Niagara Specialty Metals, has withdrawn all offers of compensation and basically told Guy to get bent. Guy is leaning HARD into the narrative that this steel issue has destroyed his business. He is throwing Larrin Thomas and Niagara Specialty Metals under the bus big time.

Completely ridiculous. Larrin has more than proved himself through his steel and the impact it has had on the industry, not to mention his ready willingness to support it and answer questions. And Niagara is, at least in my experience, a stand up company that has done right by me in the handful of times I have dealt with them.

Yeah it seems more and more probable to me that the quality issues seen will be linked to their internal mfg processes.

After watching several of the youtube clips one reoccuring theme is that he often states how they had to learn things from scratch. Initially some people might get the impression of an underdog fighting but to me the repetion of "we had to learn that..." sets of warning bells and suspicion if they know even basic stuff of what they are doing.

yup. there are more detailed discussions about Guy not knowing how to operate his equipment and not understanding basic knife manufacturing on another website. There are some really good points about his explanations about metallurgy are nonsense and how the inclusions are probably due to foreign material being present during the grinding process. 100's of 1000's of knifes have been produced with Magnucut, and Guy is the only person having an issue...
 
Survive! doesn't seem to need the help... yet it shambles on. Until them, I didn't know a knife company could become a zombie.

I can neither deny or confirm my range of services...
 
Meanwhile at Architect:

Places order for AK 6.5 in magnacut morning of 12th.

Shipment notification evening of 13th.

Way faster than S!k has responded to my refund request. Have a feeling that I will have it shipped to Sweden before a proper response and definately before an actual refund is made.

They will not issue a refund. You will have to go through bank or CC company or PayPal to get your money back.

He says in the video that he’s not really into running the business anymore and that he’d gladly sell it.

Here it comes... the "Guy Lightening" that's going to burn down his business.

Considering he can't get CPM anymore, his narrative is set. If he burns any more bridges he'll be trying to sell you blades made out of leaf spring.

He's just dynamiting all his professional contacts.

Yeah, but also remember that the tiger's not changing his stripes.
Guy's had these problems with other metals/companies/employees.
He's still having problems with other metals/companies/employees.
He will continue to have problems with other metals/companies/employees.

It's always their fault and he begrudgingly accepts fault for being the naïve, good-faith victim.

new video when Guy provides Larrin's contact info and tells people to "feel free to contact him."

He should probably start providing the contact information for other knife companies, too.
That way someone could actually purchase a knife they hope to ever see in their lifetime.

Well, of course. Guy doesn't make knives. and that bum-ass shyster never has. His sole ability lies in bolting together parts made by others, and sharpening edges. On that, his knives were serviceable, but it's also why it's been so hilarious that he has a backlog when all he does is put boxes of stuff from his vendors together and ship 'em out. He should have been able to get all these done....IF he was spending that preorder money on materials as they've always claimed. But since he uses 100% of those funds to pay bills and pay himself and his wife essentially all that money, it's why he's never been able to catch up. Can't bolt stuff together and sell it when you don't have shipments of parts showing up, because you're a worthless scumbag who hasn't sent money to those vendors for those parts.

For my CC, I am going through the motions and documenting Guy's failure to fulfill the order and my requests to cancel and get a refund. Since it is past the 60 day CC dispute time, I have to play this game.
 
So many excellent production and custom makers out there, and a couple of scumbags. I feel bad for the folks who will never see their money.

I have to do a little marketing and support for some of my company's clients so I have a pretty good idea on the amount of time and effort it takes to create video content, draft blast emails, and such. Though I don't deal with social media outlets that much, I imagine that is even more additional work. All that to say, with the number of emails I get, the posts on Instagram I see, and the volume of videos on YouTube that get referenced, it's a marvel that Guy has any time at all to get any actual work done.

I tuned out much of what he and Ellie had to say a long time ago. Word salads are fine and all, but eventually you need some steak, a little meat to actually count as substance.

Awhile back, I didn't think the end would be coming anytime soon. There are suckers born every minute and that has largely what's kept them afloat. However, these meltdowns, the bridge burning, the continued refusal to take any responsibility - all that is getting plastered all over the internet. This may very well mean:

Okay Guy. Consider me "smacked". With "knowledge".

Man... those elusive "high" standards. I guess everyone else in the industry is just full of shit then.

This "speaking truth to power" bit he is trying is absurdly comical.
