I wouldn’t read too much into that.
We’re now in the “Cover Your Ass” segment of the knife production process.
This is the part where he makes it look like a good faith effort to complete back orders, phones it in, then closes up shop.

Dear Esteemed Customer,
I hope this message finds you well. I am Guy Seyfried, the rightful owner of Survive!Knives. I am writing to you today with an urgent matter that requires your immediate assistance.
Due to an unforeseen shipping error, we have dispatched your eagerly anticipated knife without first collecting the necessary payment. In an unfortunate twist of fate, our accounts have been temporarily frozen due to a cyber attack, and I find myself in a precarious financial situation.
As the descendant of a royal lineage, I am accustomed to a life of abundance. However, at this moment, I am unable to access my vast resources. I must humbly request your assistance to rectify this situation. If you could kindly transfer the amount of $299.99 (the cost of your knife) to our emergency fund, it will ensure the continuation of our esteemed service.
In appreciation of your generosity, I am prepared to offer you a limited-edition Survive!Knives blade, personally engraved with your name, as a token of my gratitude.
Please transfer the funds to the following account: **[Insert obviously fake bank details]**
Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention to this matter.
Kind Regards,

Just started the latest video from Survive! (just Guy now? Idk) and I cannot stop laughing. He's saying that he doesn't own a car anymore but plans to move, find a place to store the unfinished blades, and get third party companies to finish the knives to his nebulous quality standards. Some questions naturally arise:
1) Where would the money come from for all of this work? Guy appears to be broke.
2) Is he planning to just resell the blades to new customers? He made a comment that the unfinished knives and parts "weren't part of the deal" when selling shop equipment to pay for bankruptcy proceedings, so I'm not sure if he means the blades are fair game to try to make money off of.
3) We've heard them tell us for years, if not a decade, that nobody else works to their level of quality. How can he suddenly find third parties that can work to their standards, and why wasn't he just employing them the whole time?

For Guy every day is a backpacking adventure! Soon he'll be discussing his every day camping adventure.
They have a word for somebody who sleeps outside every night and has zero money and no car.

The incredible "Guysu" knife. It slices, it dices, and never needs sharpening.
But hurry, this offer will not last forever. Operators are standing by...

That latest video is his mental health issues firmly on display for the world to see. If there were not so many victims of his f#ckery it would almost be sad.... to sum it up..
I am broke.
I have sold all the means I have of producing a knife.
I am too narcissistic/ill to just declare bankruptcy (as it may expose me to court action).
I have kept all the blades.
I have no money.
I am going to have someone else finish all these blades, yet I have no money.
I have always slept here at the workshop(s) so I could be there if "you" needed anything.
It's not my fault.
Hang in there while I prepare my exit strategy.

I am assuming you are talking about my comment on Guy's video posted 11 days ago lol. I made that within 15 minutes of the video being posted after that I am pretty sure he turned off the ability for people to add additional comments on that video and the one he just posted today. Has to be the case imo otherwise I feel like there would be a ton of comments on both videos.

what in the actual f did i just watch. that video was bazar. at least 3500 / $1mil worth of unfilled orders, and he posts that mess?!?!? I am really at a loss for words.
What in the hell was that about? That dude is absolutely nuts. Just go away for gods sake. He’s going to act like he’s trying to do everything he can to not screw everyone, until he just ups and disappears soon.
