The warranty seems to me to be the old fashioned handshake style that actually works on trust, honor, and dignity. It suprises me that so many of us don't seem to understand that. I have forgotten some of these things in business myself. Thanks to Eric and many of the others here, I have a new view on how to view a product- that a warranty is not just an excuse for a company to quickly pass an overpriced product to a customer, but in the case of Eric and some of the other people here, it is an "extended quality", not only of a great product for a more than reasonable price, but a quality of humaness as well.
I came to this site originally to get a brown knife. Now, even before I recieve it, I am going to actually appreciate it. Thanks to all of you for making me a little less jaded, and for increasing my knowledge and interest in Knives.
