i'm not sure i understand the "silence is acceptance".who was silent and when???

as far as asking them to pay for the shipping charges,i dont think i should have to ask and i'm not like that.nobody offered to with the CA.

as far as this happening to much............it is what it is.we're not talking about scratches in the coating.i'm sure other knife companies have lots of problems and thats why i dont buy their knives.i spend the extra money for busse kin because you get what you pay for in this world.

i dont know how many their has to be to be an epidemic.i also dont know how many DFLE's or CA's where made so we cant get a percentage either.

VANCE,
