I have a sad story to tell. Back when the scrapper 5's were in the store I bought one for myself and one for my brother as a college graduation present. Fast forward to today my brother and his long time friend have been hiking the Appalachian trail since may 31st. My brother injured his ankle and had to call it quits on the 6th and left his scrapper 5 and david brown sheath with his friend so that he would have a solid knife with him in case of emergency. Wednesday his friend reached one of the shipping depots on the trail where they can pick up supplies and and send stuff home that is not needed. Since he was the only one still hiking he was looking to lighten his load anyway that he could and one of the guys at the depot suggested that he purchase a pocket knife and send the scrapper home to save on weight. (Clearly he has no idea about knives or it wouldn't have been going home but that is besides the point) My brother received the package from UPS today and it was light one scrapper 5. The package was tampered with and in our opinion the person at the shipping depot has a nice new knife. We called them today and of course we got the story oh we dont know what could have happened no one here would ever steal from a customer. We are getting UPS to cover the insurance on the package but that of course only is 100 dollars, and that barely covers the knife if it was still in the store and he is still out his sheath. We are still trying to speak with the store owner but he has yet to return any phone calls. I guess the moral of the story is to never let your knives out of your sight! Sorry for the long winded post just had to vent.
