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

This thread is like a train wreck. I have no interest in Survive!, but I can't look away. It's unbelievable that they still continue to sell new knives when there are orders that are still outstanding from years ago. They can't just take a week or two and finish those orders before tackling some new project?

I mean, I'm notoriously guilty of not finishing remodeling projects around the house before starting a new one, but the only one that would get upset is my wife. And she isn't paying me.

Outstanding orders don’t generate income, that money is long gone… new projects generate income.

I guess that's true if you didn't place any value on your integrity or reputation. :D

I just noticed something about their logo. It's not a mountain. It's a Ponzi scheme triangle with burning money in the middle.

I would refer you to look at some online videos on the subject. If I point it out they will change how they act. I have been building a database of their malfeasance. In hopes one day there will be a call out for a class action or if an AG will as the public for complaints. It could be as simple as one election in one county to win a DA seat or ID or another state having enough of this.

I saw the latest S! WIP <I use the"W" in loosest connotation possible> YT video a few minutes ago...the "factory" looks neat as a pen, zero signs of work being done, no noise, then they trot some jabroni on screen as a "new hire" after which he walks outta frame to collect his shill-fee, no doubt.

They'd probably secure a few more pre-orders if they would at least steal some steel shavings from a reputable maker and spread them around on the floor, have a guy pounding on an empty 55 gallon drum off camera with a ballpeen hammer, power up the screens on their mills, smear some grease on their shirts, muss their hair a bit...

They're not even trying anymore...

Come on, let's be real here. If Survive would have posted a video of a dirty workshop with noises going on in the background, people working, and Guy with dirty fingernails then everyone would have accused him of faking being busy for the video, having an unsafe work environment by being dirty or cluttered (and not caring about employees safety), poor video quality by having noise in the background and hiring fake workers. Guy couldn't even tell the time without Don't fuck with Cats levels of obsession.

By all means, hate on the dude and hate on Survive but stealing work shavings from a reputable maker and spreading them on the ground? You all don't need to be ridiculous to field accurate criticism here.

You're collectively worried about his apron. I wouldn't be surprised if he wore it on purpose just for Bladeforums to get worked up about it- and is getting a real laugh.

He did his hair for the video? Well if he wouldn't have had a fresh haircut I'm sure Bladeforums would have accused him/them of being slobs or using the money for drugs instead of haircuts lol

I'm surprised no one mentioned they have the same beard and hold their arms across their chest the same way.

Yup, it's amazing after failing to fulfill orders for six years running despite constant reassurances and excuses how he just can't win with some people.

If and woulds are hypothetical.

Any thoughts on this critique?

Naw, it's separate issues. Survives history deserves ample ridicule, full-stop. No question about it. Making yourselves look ridiculous talking about how a clean shop floor suggests it's a setup is laughable.

If they didn't produce a video they would be accused of hiding from the public, not communicating, not taking part in social media, and so on.
And then they do, they should be producing knives instead. Appears like their 3.5's, 6.0s, & 4.5s have been shipped out. 5.1s and GSO 8/10/12s are coming up. I say appears because I can only gauge my opinion off of what I'm seeing. If someone who's waiting on a 3.5, 6, or 4.5 is still waiting then I'll eat crow I suppose.

Is anyone still waiting on those?

To claim they are getting a laugh at BladeForums is on par for the course.

They lay blame on others, and lean heavily on excuses...readily.

It is baffling how you defend them. I just don't get it friend.
