I've been sitting here watching as a bystander for most of this time. As such, I'd like to point out that this whole thing is based all on speculation by people who have not even visited them, nor have any stake in anything Survive! Knives does.
Originally, posts were calling out for answers. When they got an answer from Lancelot, some stated how they can't trust anything Lancelot states because he isn't even staff from Survive! Knives(from what I understood).
They then asked staff to acknowledge it themselves(or demanded more so). So staff comes in and gives a response. These same people proceed to flat out call them liars.
It seems to me many of the original people posting negative things here have done it out of fear or with malice and with the purpose of undermining this company.
Many of the people who purchased knives from Survive did so with an understanding that the knives might take longer to take. Estimates are just what they are stated to be; estimates.
Just as what Silver Eagle was doing, it seems some of the people flooding this forum with negative comments are doing so with an intention to rally as many people as possible to issue refunds, and if possible, put them out of business.
