ANY knife can fail. I can almost trust my life to my BR or CT or any SR knives but it doesn't mean that they can't fail. Your SW might just be that 1 in a million knife. Why don't you give them a second chance to make things right? SR, SY, and busse are after all, one family.

Anything can fail, I trusted my Rock River AR15 to never fail. but after putting in 1,500+ rounds of dirty ammo it had a FTF. It doesn't mean that the gun is a lemon.

I trusted my girlfriend to never fail me on making good dinner. but after making dinner for years she finally mistaken the sugar bottle as the salt bottle for seasoning one day. Needless to say, we had a very SWEET dinner that night.

get the SW replaced, do the same tip test again. 10bucks say the tip will stay put <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
