Interesting comments men. I appreciate them all, thank you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> .

I will send an email to SR soon.
I will not go into detail about the deal. I will just mention the breakage, with pic's. Then state I'm NOT sending it in if I have to pay shipping fees to & from.
It's cut & dry with me. I hope I don't get a long drawn out reason why the buyer should pay the shipping costs, from Australia, on a knife I have had for two weeks.

But at the end of the day, it's still a great batoner. And really, that's all I really need this knife to do.
When I head bush my S6 or my new Skinny ASH will see all the pack time. So realistically this CW was only a camp knife for when my family needed to chop wood for the fire, whilst I was out hunting the mornings. Or batoning wood at home for the fire.
I just thank god my son bought the SOD, man, the more I learn about SR-77/Scrap Yard steel, the more I'm glad we invested in the company. Same deal with Busse, I need more!
Thanks SY, great knives!
