Glad to see the tests went well. I don't understand why these tests were not available before the release of the knives. I think everyone had questions about the use of a new steel and it seems like this would have helped the issue. I would understand if Horn Dog had put information that was not factual out there, but I think it was an accurate recount of what happened. I don't see anything wrong with the post. I think he provides fantastic information about the Busse knives and probably has helped sell a lot of them based on his info. This comes off a little harsh by Busse. I do understand that this is a forum that is paid for by Busse, but am a little concerned if negative reviews cannot be posted until there is a chance to refute any statements. As for cancellations of the HC, I don't think we should discount the economy or the announcement of the mud puppy. i almost canceled my order and it was only related to wanting a mud puppy (lower price, better looking knife) I now will just have both of them (when the MPs hit the store) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have seen posted pictures on this very forum of damaged Dog Fathers. They were posted before the knives were returned and the cause of the problem determined. These users were not accused of blind siding or causing cancelled orders. I honestly thought that people seeing my post would plainly see exactly what I did to break the knife and refrain from doing that to theirs. I admitted from the beginning that I put too much lateral force on the tip. I futher stated that I did not see anything wrong with the knife. If anyone cancelled ordering a HCLE on the basis of my pictures, maybe it is because they wanted something more heavy duty than these very nice EDC knives. As for cancelled Scrap Yard orders, the last SY knives offered that I know of were DMDC SR77 knives. These knives are very different from the HCLE I broke the tip on. I certainly did not post my review to cause cancelled orders. I regret that my review may have caused some cancelled pre-orders of HCLEs from the Swamp. I never claimed to be a steel expert or anything like that. I just did a little review of a new knife and accidentally broke the tip doing a test I have done many times before without mishap.
So it is ok to post a review with pictures as long as everything goes well, but not if it goes poorly? I will abide by whatever the forum rules are today . Vic, I for one hope you keep posting your insightful, balanced, fair knife reviews and pics of your modded knives. Keep up the good work! This place would be much duller without your input. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I don't see anything wrong with what Vic posted, he didn't make it up, it actually happened. Dan has been promising these destruction pics for a long time now, I think a quicker turn around time would have helped resolve this issue a long time ago IMHO. If you purchased say a new car and you knew one of your friends was going to buy the same one and you had issues with it wouldn't you give him a heads up?

i wasn't trying to imply that you'd never be justified in banning. the issue that really bothers me is that we can't voice dissatisfaction. that we can't be wrong, even if justified. we'd be blamed for having high expectations of a company with a history, however short, of great products and family ties to two great companies with their own great feats.
i didn't stay long for the issue, and stopped caring early as the threads grew. still, from what i've seen, i feel zeal has been mistaken for malice. I began to care again when the threats were made.
