I recently added a few more Ka-bars to my collection, the kukri and cutless (imports) which both seem pretty good users for the money, and a the JAB potbelly. Unfortunatly the Potbelly had some major QC issues including a very poor grind and the bottom several inches of the blade were missed completly. I contacted Ka-bar via the website with the serialm number from the box and got a response that kind of irked me. Basically it said sorry about the knife you can pay to ship it back and maybe we will replace it, but we are not responsible for it. Then the long list of warrenty disclaimers. I was hoping they would show some intrest in the fact that a US made knife left production looking like it was made by a teenager in shopclass but that was not the case. Is Ka-bar CS always this bad? I have about 35 Ka-bars and have never had an issue so I was not too broken up that I got a bad one, but the poor customer service kind of makes me not want to buy anymore of their products. Anyone else have any issues or was this a fluke?
