The fates intervene to stop my knife purchase.

So there I was, moments away from checking out with my first Becker (BK9) in the shopping cart :D. When all of the sudden my smartphone dives off of the table onto the hardwood floor :eek:. I reached cautiously to retrieve my facedown phone, and slowly turn it to find that the screen has totally shattered. :grief:
I curse the heavens as I cradle my wounded phone, and vow that no matter how long it takes the fates shall not keep me from my Becker.
 
that was just delayed punishment for not buying faster :) next time, buy two :)

good luck with the phone. sometimes warranties are good. perhaps buy a case? get carpeting... something! :D
 
You know what they say sh...tuff happens. With my luck I would end up owing someone a knife lol
 
I've had cellphones since I got a 'free' bag phone with some tires in '92 (It only cost $150 for the bag, battery, and activation... the $2k Motorola phone was free. 40 minutes was ~ $60/month then.). Never damaged - or lost - a phone... until Friday. As I stepped into a hot tub while on vacation at Gulf Shores, Alabama, I forgot my 3.5yr old folder cellphone was in my pocket. After 15 minutes of boiling my butt, I stood up - instantly remembering! I removed the battery immediately. Got home - put the phone & battery in a ziplock bag full of rice for a day or two. The battery wouldn't take a charge, but the phone worked. New battery: $50. New phone: free. Okay, that free phone cost me $257 - I had to buy my wife a new one, too... and accessories... and prepay/await $100 in rebates. In any case, my stop on the way home in Foley at the St. Nick Knife Store was skipped - no money left! I feel your pain...

Get the knife when you can... a cellphone is a necessity these days.

I do really appreciate the offer, but I couldn't.
 
Smartphone wasn't so smart!
You could invest in a different form of communicative technology and still have your BK-9.
Cake and eat it too!!!

I think this is the appropriate time to announce Ethan Becker's latest design: The BK-C CellKnife. Order one today!
 
Mmmm...cake...Bummer about the smartphone. Maybe pick up a cheap used one somewhere or someone you know has a previous gen lying around just gathering dust? I know at work when someone does the screen fractal one of the early adapters usually has one sitting in their desk waiting to be resurrected.

Just a thought

So after I've had some whiskey to clear my head, I've come up with a plan. I'll order the BK9 and when it arrives I'll attach this...

...to the back of my car. Then I'll pillage the phone store with the Bk9 in hand, to find a replacement. The perfect plan wouldn't you agree? :pirate:
 
or, you could hold a bunch of durians hostage, and ransom them for a wire transfer to an offshore bank account, and then buy a new phone with the proceeds while enjoying the fruits of taking those stinky durians down a notch !!! ??? ?!?!?! (waaay too much action cinema for me) :)

but, seriously. I hope and have faith that this will all hammer itself out with a little time.

That sounds as bullet proof as I've ever read.
 
The only improvement, I think, would be a crew of Beckerheads and a cannon! :emot-yarr: Volunteers?
