I was using a well known knife a few days ago when I bent the tip. I thought maybe I was doing something beyond normal use and was abusing it. I did the same thing with my scrap yard DM and my Busse SarQ just to see if I was doing too much. Niether of them was hurt in the least.
What I was doing is sticking the tip into a piece of wood and prying out splinters for tender. I drove the knife in about 3/4 of an inche and pried it to one side with the meager strength of my hands. I wasnt getting behind it with my body weight either. The knife was in front of me, I leaned it over and it bent.
This just makes me even more happy to own good steel from a good company.
I am however disapointed that I bent the tip of what I thought was a good knife. I could probably bend it back and be ok, but I want to send it in for a warranty claim.
Does anyone know what the warranty is for the Ontario Ranger series?

Man you had me going with the headline LOL
I ask that other manufactures not be discussed on this forum...Good or Bad, Directly or Indirectly.
For what its worth, I believe that a customer should always go directly to the manufacturer to work out an issue. It is the honorable thing to do.
