Hello...first post.
I have a Yard Keeper with a handle that was chewed up by a squirrel. Don't laugh...it's true. I've emailed Patti twice over the past 4 weeks but haven't gotten a response yet so I thought I'd ask for help here. Squirrel damage clearly isn't a warranty issue so I'm looking for info on who to contact and the cost to have a new handle put on. Thanks for the help.

Well the resperine C grip is one of the best features on the knife. It would need to go back to SYKCO to be replaced. If the e-mail is a bit backlogged I would consider sending it in with a letter of explanation rather than waste time on the e-mail front. The only other option is to consider some form of custom grip....but that would not be my preference.

I'd keep trying to get in touch with them, I know they said they've had some issues with email.
I agree with SF though, If I ever get an opportunity like that, I'd have to make a custom handle for it. I just wouldn't be able to resist. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the Yard! You might try a PM rather than email.

thanks for the warm welcome. i'm undecided as to what to do with this one. i really like the knife. i could go either way with the res-c handle. the temptation to have a custom handle put on is strong but the res-c handle is tough yet comfortable. If this was a big chopper I'd would stay with the res-c in a heartbeat. cost is factor in my decision. I'll try to PM Patti to see if she has a price for handle replacement.
thanks again for the responses

Welcome to the Yard Morrow! Did I mention I hate squirrels? I'm sure you do at this point too.
I'd send it back in to Dan and get the original Res-C replaced cuz I really like how light and comfy the Res-C handles are.

Squirrel damage? They are mean little bastards even if they are kind of cute. Good eating as well if you get a few of them.
I think it is Bark River that has a similar warranty to the yard but an exception for badgers.
I really want a puppy but I have a few really nice old knives with those leather washer handles that dogs LOVE to chew. It will take some serious puppyproofing before the Unsub compound is ready for a new Pup.

I emailed Renee and she got me squared away quite quickly. Thank you Renee.
I'll post some pics before I send it off so there is record of what probably is the only squirrel-chewed Scrap Yard on the planet.
