That letter from M Glesser himself is a classy touch ...... :thumbup:
It adds to my pride of ownership.

I would also be interested to hear what the probable cause of failure was. I own a Southard and still have every confidence in it, but I too am curious.
Any update on this. I WANT to pull the trigger on a Southard bad but honestly sort of hesitant..
Eric told me in the letter I got that they had not seen a single other issue like this despite having sold so many Southards, so I doubt there is a bad batch associated with it.
Why would you hesitate? Spyderco stands behind their product and took care of the single issue thus far. I would have no reservations in getting one knowing that they will make it right in the slight event that it isn't.
The reason I am hesitant is because I plan on rit dying the brown G10 black. This would void the warranty bc I "took it apart".
There is a black model.
I'd suggest you roll the dice. Odds are you'll be fine. And if you're really that concerned about the warranty, have some aftermarket scales made for your Southard. Southards dress up beautifully:

I wish people would stop perpetuating that rumor.
Thanks, but this would still void the warranty. Taking the knife apart to put the new scales would void it.
I wouldn't worry about it, personally. Any knife can break, if you name a (production) model, I'm sure there's a picture of it broken somewhere.
I wouldn't speak for Spyderco...

If you can figure out how to take the stock scales off to put the aftermarket scales on, you should be able to do that in reverse.
