with today's newspaperThat's not really the same thing, but you knew that.
Strange that you would get a knife before so many others before you.
Would you mind sharing a picture of your knife? I am sure you are telling the truth, but it is sorta suspect. Up to you of course.
Context. Survive! wrapped up their orders of GSO-6s and those shipped. I didn't get a GSO-6 before someone else got a GSO-6 who has been waiting for years.
I've seen comments from other people who bought the GSO-6 3 and 4 years ago who got their knives just before me. Seems like they filled orders from the last 5-6 years for a specific model to clear it off their plate. 6's, then 3.5s, just finishing up 4.5s now.
Right on, thanks. Are you referring to the pics of the stacks of knives on a table at the manufacturers shop?
I know this may all be coincidental, and I hate to say this.... but you really do sound like a shill. Or just not very smart. Perhaps you did get lucky, this one time. I got lucky on two knives from them in the past. That does not mean that you won't wait forever (<cough>... six years) for your next one.
I can certainly say it gets me in the Christmas spirit to see that Survive ( will never again put that stupid exclamation after their assinine name) shipped out some people's knives (or at least one) in the same year.... as I wait here on my 6th year for mine.
You may be correct. I CAN tell you that I waited 5 years for my GSO 6 order. And I DID get it back in the Feb/Mar time frame. And hated it. Between the time i ordered it and the time they actually made it, they changed the size of the handle. It may work great for some, many, but not all people, and it is not what I ordered. Fortunately for me, my daughter immediately fell in love with it, so it is hers. So it all turned out great. In waiting 5 years for a knife that I didn't want, it arrived just in time to gift to my daughter who would have been too young for it if I had gotten it within, say, ONLY ONE YEAR!
That is a very valid statement. And totally irrelevant. If they were only going to do GSO-6's until they got GSO-6's done, they should have only taken orders for GSO-6's. Then perhaps they could have produced them in a timely manner, AND produced the same knife that people ordered back then.
Exactly the ones yes. I've already heard they can be faked and photoshopped and not proof of anything.
I'm not acting as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others. I've said from the start I like their knives a lot. I'm not really interested in enticing others to buy from them, I don't really care. I've never suggested anyone should give them another chance or forgive them; from the start I've said it appears their stuff is starting to ship out more frequently. Same suggestion to you as MolokaiRider, check out their IG page and decide if it looks like bullshit or not.
Like yourself, I got lucky on two knives as well. I agree it doesn't mean the next knife won't take forever.
Agreed it's nice to see people starting to get their stuff. Sucks you're still waiting and I can sympathize with the position of frustration you must be in. What kind of knife are you waiting on from them?
A silver lining, glad that worked out a little well for you. I was planning on giving my son a new GSO-6 but he's in love with a Glock field knife. I might get their 4.5 with the Ghost jade handles for my daughter but she's pretty happy with a Morakniv Companion.
I understand your reasoning here, ethically I think you are right. From a business point of view, I'd need to see their books to decide if whatever they were doing meant they needed to keep taking pre-orders while very likely understanding there would be considerable delays.
100% agree.
I was asking if you wouldn't mind posting pics of YOUR knife, not Insta photos from the manufacturer.
No problem. Here's a family pic, newest is top middle with the black G10 handles.
Thank you.No problem. Here's a family pic, newest is top middle with the black G10 handles.
Have you ever held one of their 4.7's?
