Candidly speaking, this is the same BS that that scumbag Guy has pulled for years. There are no seconds. This is just a way for him to sell some of these knives twice, so he can put money in his pocket to pay his personal bills. I recall him defending himself in his sub some years ago when people asked why there were always these "Ugly Betty" seconds sales (as they have happened many times over the years, and apparently still continue), and he actually responded with some nonsense about how all his vendors tend to send him products with a 20% failure rate. Anyone who runs an actual business would just...heh jaykay, several people here who DO run businesses tore him up immediately for that, like "Wait, you had a vendor send you a batch of products with a 20% failure rate, and you didn't reject them and fire that vendor immediately after the first time this happened??!" A twenty percent failure rate is significant in manufacturing, in a world where these companies would consider 0.20% to be of huge concern. That means, if this dude got in an order of say, 1,000 knives, 200 of 'em were not good enough to be sold as a firstline product? What?
This right here. The only failure rate here is Guys failure to run an honest business. I'm sure he gets a dud once in awhile but 4 blades out of 20? No way. How many "ugly bettys" are described as perfect? Does anyone reading this have a Betty they bought with a visible flaw? Mines long sold but it didn't. Looked just fine.. Nobody is disputing he can make an acceptable product but his delivery rate on promises made is so horrible that only a fool would risk it. If he'd quit blowing the incoming money , do some judiciously careful juggling and live bare bones he might be able to dig himself out of his self created mess but we all know that isn't happening.
Your numbers are off a tad bit gentlemen, it’s actually 30%

So he confirms what has been speculated for years all the while the speculation was being denounced by the shills and fanboys.
If I had a supplier tell me 30% of what I ordered was going to be waste, I would refuse 100% of that order.Your numbers are off a tad bit gentlemen, it’s actually 30%
Here’s a partial quote of a long winded word salad post from Ellie.
I mean, dude just admitted that they have to defraud people waiting for years and sell their knives to new customers in order to put money in their pockets. I sure wish Beashmaster could weigh in for us about his "good friend" Jon here's admission.
Excelleeeeeent. I mean, realistically, I already understand how they're going to try to spin this. It's going to start with some "Well, do you want the business to faaaaaaaiiiillll???!!?"
I thought the reason for the partnership buy-in by HST was to infuse money into the company to keep the lights on in order to complete old orders and build new knives for more orders. Seems the "complete old orders" was not part of the plan.
