Yet another warranty issue that is unbelievable

The crap that you put up with sometimes Jeff truly astounds me! My mind is raging in so many directions right now I hardly know where to start?! First, how dumb and why the heck would this genius send you an email bragging about his friend flat out abusing the warranty throwing his 3 into trees?!?! Your right, these are the mall ninja spoiled brats that have never had to earn one single thing in their own life because it's all been given to them by their parents. I think posting all of these emails of abuse and utter stupidity would help shame and detour some of this from happening in the future, cross your fingers.

You should come out with a set of ESEE throwing knives, but the key is that they DO NOT come with a warranty!!!:D:D:D

Exactly! We have all thrown our share of knives that were not meant to be thrown, but we didn't ask for a replacement when it broke. On my first trip to the Amazon we all got in a throwing contest in the jungle using some extra knives we had brought. You'd be surpised how good an old Kabar throws. But, if it breaks (and it will eventually) you just sacrifice the parts to the River Gods and go on, never blaming the company or asking for a replacement.

I learned to throw the Ka-Bar in Thailand with the 56th ACW. Fortunately, I was buddies with the supply sgt, as I broke several of them. But I stick them well. Your tax dollars at work.:D
 
the idiot who broke the knife got it as a figt, so had no investment in it and knew about the warranty so treating it carelessly wasn't a concern.

probably treats his women the same way... (assuming he likes girls.) use 'em up, throw 'em away, get another one. that's the modern disposable society for many people today. :rolleyes:

sorry, while the warranty is great, it's not something i plan on intentionally testing. i buy my gear out of my own pocket, i buy good stuff expecting it to work, bot not with the intention of thrashing it.

they need a knife throwing game for the Wii for idiots like these.

Now that's the knife throwers special!!!:D There's no way it will snap since it's made of "MOLECULAR" STAINLESS STEEL.

That was so 80's it made my eyes hurt!!!

My late wife got me one of those. She kept hers in her car. She knew I was into knives, but had no idea how laughable I found that "Survival" knife. Ah, yes, the 80s were good times! :D
 
Amazing.

Your warranty is unsurpassed. But, not the reason I buy or carry them on my site. I do so because they are just plain better than anything out there. Period.

If I ever break one, I'll send it to you strictly for research, not for replacement.

I had one of those when I was younger. To be honest, it served me quite well really. I cleaned alot of fish with it and burned through all the junk in the handle pretty quick, lost the compass and sharpened it down to the point that it looked like a filet knife on my dad's bench grinder. But I got a few years of use out of it.
 
WOW is all i can say to idiots like that. Thats why there arent very many good warranties left in the US, because dumb ass people take advantage of everything they can. Sad really, but i guess thats becoming the American way.

Jeff,


Or are these incidents isolated enough that the damage is minimal?

They are isolated enough that the $$ damage is minimal. It's not necessarily the $$ damage as much as it is the idiocy that pisses us off.
 
IDIOT!
Well at least we all know we can throw our ESEE blades 999 times before they will break...
 
Dear Jeff,

I had 5 ESEEs sitting on my desk next to me just a second ago as I was reading this post. All of a sudden they just vanished into thin air. I guess the metal must have reacted with the air and they just imploded or something. Being that you have such a great warranty, please send me 5 more under warranty. You cans send me any models of your picking.

Thank you
 
You know it could just be that this person is uneducated about knives. When I was little I had no idea that throwing a knife could be damaging to it. Maybe this person doesn't understand that there's a difference in how throwing knives are made compared to your knives. I have no idea what kind of crap you deal with on a day to day basis but you say you're in the education business, maybe teaching this person why what they're doing is stupid is better than being a little nasty. My $.02.

Of course, this guy could be exactly what you said.
 
I am in a hurry, and have yet to read the whole thread. However I want to say that I often throw kabars (spec-plus type) at trees. In my opinion, throwing knives are usually poor throwers. I had fully intended to purchace an rc-6 for basic use (and to throw). Perhaps I'll just get one for basic use now. I see no problem with throwing non-throwing type knives. -However, repeatedly asking for replacmnets when they break is a shame. Then again, my Sp-1 never had any issues while throwing other than a slight, quickly fixed, bend.
Either way, I've never owned a better knife for the money than my RTAK-2. And look forward to owning an RC-6CP shortly. -Joe
 
Can someone please tell me WTF is the point of throwing your knife at a tree anyways?

Is it practice incase you need to hit someone at a distance, now here is the bad part what if you hit them with the butt of the blade and they pick it up and gut you like a pig?

I see know point, if you need distance get a damn gun.

The point is that it's fun. Similar to throwing darts. Not everything has to be about practicing to kill someone.
 
Sorry, I have never understood the knife throwing fascination. In the field if it all broke down, that TOOL may mean life or death.

I was taught to use the right tool for the job. I was also taught to honor my tools, from knives to saws, to hammers. They are not toys, they are not for "fun".

I buy quality so that it will last (hence your tools). I would buy RAT's with or without the warranty but its a nice to have. I honestly cannot ever see me needing to use it. While I never baby ANY gear, I never mis-use it. nuff said.

I bet when that kid sent that in he thought he was going to get a "hey great, how about i send you a free knife for being so cool" response. I would love to know what he sends back after your "lesson".

Nice to see you stand behind your philosophies as well as your products!
