Bad Survive! Deserves A Permanent Post In The Hall Of Shame

Last I heard, the coattails needed to be restitched. The thread they received was inferior and prone to breaking. Don’t worry, coattail rides should be available by Christmas 2025.

What.....a......giant......piece........of.......shit........

Very clear this guy is a nut case, and anyone involved should run, quick. Heavyset Knives is doomed.

Flee indeed. Pretty amazing. Slob invested in a known scam and was a complete shill hoping to profit. Now he is tone deaf, not proof-reading his video title prior to releasing it, saying his burred edge is sharp, and stating scandi grinds are difficult….

The shirt may seem like a small thing, but I think most people with functioning brain cells would have either tossed the shirts from someone they felt cost them $10,000, or maybe used them for rags. Most certainly would not have worn a clean one on a video.
 
"I lost ten grand or more up there more than anyone who lost out on a single or double knife order."

Glad we have finally identified the real victim of Survive knives.

"Tired of people drudging it up"

Now that is a hero. He suffered worse than anyone, but is too modest to want anyone to speak of it.

100% agree with what you said. Any equity he built with his claims of doing more good (getting out orders) that harm (shilling and creating new victims for his business with Guy) got burned to the ground with that post.

HST / Jon chose to wear that shirt!!! What a total idiot and buffoon. Seriously, F that guy.
 
Long time lurker, first time poster here.

There are countless hours of reading that an outsider can do in order to catch up on the Survive! situation. I had the unique opportunity to be thrown into the middle of it all last summer. Hopefully you'd all like to hear about it.

I am the owner and operator of a small precision machine shop in Pennsylvania. I am the one that purchased the equipment from Survive! last summer.

I was looking to increase our capacity as a machine shop. Survive! had a beautiful waterjet, tumbler, blanchard, VF3, VF2, blast cabinets, and more, all perfect additions to our current capabilities. We made an offer and ended up purchasing the equipment. I then purchased a building to house all the equipment, as we couldn't even get the vf3 into our shop, and spent the last few months making that place habitable (It's in horrible condition, but cheap).

During all of this, I couldn't help but admire the quality of Survive! knives. The machinist in me truly appreciated the insane level of quality, and the business owner in me saw how and why Survive! filled a niche in the knife world. I have all the equipment, I have the fixturing, I know the process, here we go!

Introducing, Micron Knives! A knife company born from a small family owned and operated American machine shop. Our goal is precision knives, made from the best materials, with the best processes, sold with the best customer service, and never ever sold presale.

Ask me anything, but this is a Survive! thread. I'll start with some answers to questions that were never asked, but might be.

We do believe that Survive! made the best fixed blade knives we've ever handled.
We did not purchase any of the inventory, nor do we know where it is, or what will happen to it all.
We do not know what Guy is up to or where he is.
We truly believe that Guy's ultimate goal was to produce the knives that were ordered. We came across zero indications that he was intentionally scamming people. We also came across zero evidence or indications that he had made out with the money from the preorders.
The money that we paid for the equipment went directly to the lenders in accordance with state law, even covering the loans on equipment that had been previously sold and not paid off.
We only purchased the equipment, not the business. We cannot help those of you who never received their knives, and we do not believe that Survive! will ship any more knives.
I was indeed offered Guy's dog, Olive. We are inseparable. As soon as I can upload a photo I will upload one of her. She was not part of the purchase negotiations LOL.
We want to produce knives VERY similar to Survive!'s designs, as we think they were the best. Sprinkle in a little customer service and some good business practices, we think you'll like our knives.

After an investment like that, I'm not sure I would want to make knives that looked too similar to Survive!. The same finish? Sure.

People might associate it too closely with Survive! Then again, people did seem to enjoy those knives so maybe I'm clueless.

My goal is to make the best knives I can. It would not be in the consumer's best interest to produce a knife of worse design just because of the negative connotation.

I've put a lot of thought into that though. Maybe I should have hidden the inspiration and association, but what a bad way to convey a new business. Let's hope it pays off LOL

Without being sarcastic, the POS took orders fully paid for in advance (some waiting for years) and yet sent some knives to people who had hardly been waiting. They told the same lies repeatedly with excuses as well as blaming everyone but their own ineptness. They got shills to promote knives to increase orders which were not filled. If you truly think he was acting in good faith, I think you need to step back and look again.

You might consider NOT wanting to associate anything with that POS to your company (other than that you have equipment).

There are some phenomenal companies with great people turning out knives, so I hope you try to be more like them.

Transparency is good. One of many things the other person lacked.

Start slow, build a process that works, ship everything that has been ordered. Focus on quality and customer satisfaction.

You gave his dog a home, so you are starting off on the right foot. In my book, at least.
