I bought 4 knivers from them that were in stock, and got all of them within 15 days. I bought 2 preorders, never got them, got refund from paypal after few months of waiting.... I agree they are full of BS, but lets not make up stories.

Yes, you've been posting about all of your purchases that help to fund the ponzi scheme Guy is running. Thanks again for supporting dishonest criminals in their endeavors.

Ah I see. Hey everyone still waiting, See? Totally okay now, this guy got 4 knives.
 
Kody Eustler commented on the latest video saying he was having issues with Magnacut warping during heat treat that he was able to address and improve upon in house...why can't Guy/Survive do the same?

Maybe I'm punching above my weight class here but I've worked in machining and mold making for several years using a variety of CPM and Bohler steels...no one expects parts to come back from heat treat exactly as they left. It's common sense to leave plenty of stock for finishing, and more than usual on small/thin/oddly shaped parts. As finish machining/grinding takes place it's not unusual for parts to "move" again as material comes off one side or the other and these are all things you learn to deal with.

As Guy's rants seem to have moved from voids/inclusions to warping in the past couple videos, I just find it weird that anyone with any knowledge of metalworking finds warpage during heat treat to be problematic or unusual.

Exactly. I think that this goes back to the underlying issue with everything related to S!K; Guy does not know what the hell he is doing.

Not being in the business myself, this is what I would expect, given the nature of the process.

This is what I mean when I say that Guy is most likely incompetent.
He talks about 5 vs 2-3 thousandths of an inch of decarburization being unacceptable.
I'm wondering if anyone who listens to him prattle on has stopped to realize how small "up to" 5 thou is?
4 thou is a sheet of notebook paper.

The tolerances he's worried about are well beyond what's required for a useful and worthy fixed blade.
 
BTW, just looked at the comments from Guy's recent video. He has deleted a bunch of comments that do not support his narrative. You can never say that Guy is not consistent...

I wanted to see everyone made whole, including myself. You may be right about what you think of them. Maybe there's an off shore bank with millions in it. To me it simple looks like they got in over theirs heads, and are hanging on by a thread. After 10 years, 65.1% of businesses have failed. That's not great odds for anyone, and they sure made their share of mistakes along the way.

The lesson for me was...I will never ever buy anything that's not in stock ready to ship from anyone again.

……this is exactly how a scam is supposed to work. Keep you on the hook thinking any moment now and play on the “fear of missing out”. Depending on how long you have been on the hook for I imagine that you could have long ago obtained a comparable or better quality blade that you would have been using all this time while under the false impression that Guy will “fulfill” you. Even if after a few years he did/does is it actually worth it ? The time you have not had the money or a knife ? That is not a dig at you specifically but at Perish!Knives and the MO for dealing with “investors”.

My burner account got blocked by YouTube when I tried to clear up the fact that powdered metal steel does not have a crystal structure (among other mostly constructive comments) ... So not only does he delete comments, but he also reports them. TRANSPARENCY! TRANSPARENCY! TRANSPARENCY!

Given the demand for magnacut I could believe a bad batch got out. In one of the DBK videos they had a Barkriver magancut blade break. To me it almost looked like there was a void in the steel too. But to say it's all the CPM steels...I have to believe other people would be talking about it.
So if it's not the steel, what could they be doing wrong that would cause voids in the middle of the steel??? It all seems like pretty standard stuff, water jet, grinder, cnc machines, Peters heat treat.
Unlike most of the people on here I wanted to see them get it together, and everyone get the knives they had ordered. Everyday it looks worse and worse now.

A material investigation was completed on that exact blade. It was found that the sharp jimping profile created stress risers during aggressive use, it was not steel related. This information is posted on a DBK video. Good on them for the retraction from the initial assumption.

Let's not forget that in the last 2 weeks, Guy has also complained about 20CV and 3V. His issues don't start and end with MagnaCut. Is there a common denominator?

That's good to know, I hadn't seen an update.

Yeah, I could see if there was some issue with magnacut given it's new to the market. Then it was also 20CV and 3V, and they were knives done by third parties at the time...I think.

He says he's sending the knives to a third party for testing. Wonder what's going to happen with that?

Guy says a lot of things. Interestingly, many of the things Guy says are not true. We have only heard his side of all this. Although CPM and NSM have said nothing, we do know that CPM steel is VERY widely used throughout the knife industry. No one else seems to be having the issues Guy is having. That one fact speaks volumes.
 
Citori said:
I agree. Guy has always had difficulty being truthful but this latest behavior is a lot more unhinged. He is showing defects that are visible to the naked eye and claiming they are problems with the steel, yet there hundreds of thousands of uncoated blades out there made of the same steel and not only did the makers miss those defects but the customers did as well. If what Guy is saying was true there'd be hundreds of threads asking about problems from hundreds of makers.

Desperate times for Guy. If I owner a gun store near Gettysburg I would hire a night watchman.

That is some solid advice as the wheels look to be coming off Guy's Ponzi scheme, and honest work is not one of his skill sets.
 
Guy has piles of "bad" blades but needs the samples back from NSM. I get wanting them back for records, but if his issue is as he states, he should have no problem finding more "bad" blades.

His most recent video titled CPM Scandal, the thumbnail shows him holding multiple blades. In the video he does not show one single blade with issues.

He stated in videos that he's only hours away from finishing the larger GSO knives. Now all of a sudden they're included in his pile of "bad / suspect" blanks. How did that happen?
