i actually thought pretty hard about the best way to go about it with my CA and i thought it made since to me to go the same route with a SY blade.i'm not out to make anybody look bad or to rub a defect in their face.

what it boiled down to for me was openness.lets be honest,you guys want to know about these things,period,and i think as extremely loyal customers you should know.this isnt the Benchmade forum.....if they even have one......this is the yard
we're all here to stay and me having a little problem and talking about it isnt going change that.

when my CA broke i didnt keep it top secret but i did keep it and the pics in the swamp at the time and i did the same thing here.i dont want to come across like the guy who beats a toilet with a CA or who puts a SK in the crack of a wall and then kicks it till it breaks and then posts it on bladeforums.

there's already enough speculation,guessing games,un-answered questions and mysteries of the universe that are floating around.here's something cut and dry.
i had a problem.SY is going to take care of me.
