Yet another warranty issue that is unbelievable

Whats the word of ESEE/Cold Steel throwing disk's ? LOL just kidding Jeff
 
Well Jeff, I really hope crazy folks don't go ruining the warranty. It is one of the factors that does draw me to ESEE. I know that if the knife breaks it will be taken care of. At the same time I don't use my 4 for a pry bar, throwing knife, or to baton through a school-bus just because "I can" and "the knife is warrantied." Here's hoping dude and his friends stop by the forum and either learn to use their knives properly or go someplace else.

God bless,
Adam

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!

Throwing knives designed for throwing are fun as hell. Maybe I should have been more clear. Throwing your bushcraft/survival knife is extremely dumb. Going out and throwing throwing knives while wearing your bushcraft/survival knife on your hip is the ticket. I agree that throwing an ESEE is retarded, it's just that not many people know that throwing knives are made differently.
 
I don't buy this "not knowing, no one to teach me" bullshit for a minute. They have email. They hang out on forums. They play computer games. They all have internet but yet they're deprived of proper knowledge because they're too damn lazy to look up information on knives or throwing. Bullshit. Feel sorry for the little pricks all you want. I don't.

WHAT A TOOL!!! I forgot that's what throwing a perfectly great blade is for, killing zombies. The really bad thing is this moron sounded serious.

I'm right there with you on kids these days Jeff! Most of them are nothing but spoiled brats. Parents can't even buy a new car without each kid having their own TV screen now to keep them happy. Moose, your girls are very lucky to have a father like you to teach them the rights and the wrongs and the value of a dollar.
 
All kids should be forced into a military school by the time they are old enough to walk, and beat senseless if they refuse.
 
Frankly, I think all new knife owners should have to carry a slipjoint for a mandatory period of six months before they're allowed to carry any sort of fixed blade or large knife.

You got it. I was raised on a slipjoint before any of this tacticsexual shit ever came about.

Yup. The bottom knife was my first real knife. I've owned it for 30+ years. Notice it's not broken.

Same Old Timere that was my first. My Grandad gave it to me. Mine is also sharpened in two though :)

That's a damn good idea! That's what I started out with, hell that's what pretty much all of us here on the forum started out with. My dad got me a simple Wenger SAK when I was about 5 and made me use that for several years before I could get a fixed/locking blade knife. That way I knew how to properly handle/use one the way it was meant to be used.
 
Don't tell no one, but I have the slipjoint as well. Never broke it, but, well, um, I don't throw it either. Keep this between us, though, if people knew I used a slipjoint, it would end my Taktikool persona.

I think it should be a law that anyone who possesses a knife, car or anything with moving parts has to at least pass a basic intelligence test. If you don't know the square root of 100 then you're off the team, taken out to the courtyard, and quickly shot.
 
I think I had ten years with an SAK before I was allowed to get a fixed blade. Breaking something like that is just pure stupidity. I've done my fair share of stupid shit, but never asked for a replacement for it. Hell I was chopping ice with my Ontario machetes and craftsman axes last night. Don't think I'd take either back if it broke.

But if you were chopping that with an ESEE knife and it broke we would be happy to replace it. That's what our warranty is for. People who need to use a knife for a situation that normally doesn't happen.
 
I still carry a Case Peanut daily. It's small and unobtrusive. It has red bone scales so it doesn't scare the womenz folk and the metrosexuals. And it serves me well, day-in, day-out. Should I ever need to defend myself against the zombie hoards, I am prepared.

Stranded in the wild? Heck, I'm ready for that too.
