We have to keep in mind that everybody involved ,Dan ,Vic and our great and understanding mods are dealing with things as they happen.
I understand how Dan and company would feel a bit blindsided by all the
hullabaluo. They had gone out on a bit of a limb making knives that were thinner and better cutting tools but not quite as burly as the usual Yard fare.

I think what Dan and the guys want is simply to be treated fairly.

More than anything it was the timing of the HC failure post that threw them for a loop. Really it was not Vic because he made sure to point out that it was just the very end of the tip. It was other people who really blew it all out of proportion.
I mean would any other knife company get that kind of response if someone stuck the small pointy tip of an stainless EDC in some hardwood and it broke?

I had 5 HC's preordered and never once considered not getting them. I feel sorry for those who canceled their orders because as far as I know the only G10 grips are from either the Blade show or preorders.

There was a similar thing that happened with a skeleton key where some one stuck it in a concrete block and kicked it. It was also a failure right at the end of the tip.

I hope this does not mean there won't be more stainless knives?
We at least need a skelly and a hunting knife as well something along the lines of a Buck hartsook would be great as well.
