Yet another warranty issue that is unbelievable

Ya know one thing nobody's mentioned is the fact of how disrespectful of the woods we walk thru and abusive it is to the tree continually throw a knife into it.

Every time ya throw a knife into a tree you wound it, the accumulatin' wounds become scarred and allow disease to attack the inside of the tree weakin' and eventually killin' it.

I'm no tree hugger but I do have a lot of respect for the weeds I walk in, which apparently the subjects of the OP don't.

Remember take a knife away from an idiot, save a tree. :)
 
Maybe a pick of a bunch of tough lookin' tatted up guys with blacked out faces, with the caption of "ESEE Ass Whoopin Warranty Team, its hard to get these guys back on the chain, once we let them off." Throw in some knives and ESEE soft gear in the foreground. Maybe put Guyon's avatar over one of the faces.

PR is not really my thing, but, what the hell, I thought I would give it a shot.

That's a bitchin' idea Moose!!! I think you need to be the Sergant-at-Arms.:D
 
My prize fighting rooster is sure to scare some folks straight. :thumbup:

An ESEE Ass Whoopin' Warranty Team could be a PR bonanza as well as a lucrative reality show in its own right. There'd be a U.S. tour followed by European and South American tours. In each town, they'd be filmed while ferreting out abusive idiots, forcing them to wear the "panties of shame," and emotionally taunting them to the point of tears. Of course, they'd be on the clock, the idea being to start the waterworks as early as possible. Each week's "winner" would receive a free ESEE slipjoint. Runner-ups would get a free ESEE coke spoon.

All kids should be forced into a military school by the time they are old enough to walk, and beat senseless if they refuse.

if you ran for prime minister/president with that as your campaign slogan i would vote for you without a second thought! :p


also, an esee for every home :D

Imagin, an Orange Van with a Pink Izula on the side pulls up, and about 900lbs of pissed off professional tough guys pile out, carrying a bag of knives. Goes up, knocks on the door.

"I, um <looks at list> Jerry Behand here?"
"I'm Jerry, what can I do for you?"
"Jerry, you bought and ESEE3 2 yrs ago, we recieved an email stating its was broken, we are the ESEE Ass Whoopin Warranty Team. We're here to replace the knife."
"OH, great, yeah, me and my neighbor Joe were in the back last week, drinkin' beer and throwin' this thing into a tree we got in the back. Sure was a tough knife, we must have thrown that thing 500 times. Here it is. So where's my........<gets yanked off the porch>

900lbs of pissed of "Customer Service Specialist" commence to beat the shit out of Jerry, as Jerry has never experienced. As Jerry is laying in his own front yard, bleeding and crawling for the front porch, the lead EAWWT, looks down, and says,

"Mr. Behand, on behalf of ESEE knife company, here is your replacement, use it wisely."

The whole team walks back towards the van, the Lead EAWWT, looks at his clipboard, "One more to go on this street, c'mon"

They walk 2 houses down, from where Jerry Behand is slowly beginning to lose consciousness. The Lead knocks on the door. A skinny little guy answers,

"Can I help you guys?"
"We are looking for , um <looks at clipboard> Michael Lon."
"That's me. Watchoo need?"
"Well, Mr. Lon, we are the ESEE Ass Whoopin Warranty Team, we heard you broke a um, er, Pink Izula? Is that correct?"
"Um, yeah, my daughter locker herself in the bathroom accidently, and I had to use it to pry the jam apart far enough to slip the bolt, the knife actually didn't break though, but the handle bent something fierce. Its my wife's knife. She's gonn a kill me when she finds out. Am I in some kinda trouble or somethin'?"
"Why, no, Mr. Lon, you are a great customer and Jeff and Mike of ESEE thank you for your support of the ESEE knife company. Here's a brand new Pink Izula, and a brand new OD one for you. Take care of them, and watch that bathroom door. Have a great day, sir."

As they walk off, the EAWWT with the chicken head, looks over at one of the others, and says, "Man, I was wantin' ta whoop that guys ass. I mean, that is what they pay us to do right?"

As they all pile back in the van, we see Mr. Behand's wife, running to Jerry laying on the front lawn, a brand new ESEE 3 in his hand, and a brand new respect for knives, in his swollen eyes.

This where it fades out.

10 Pages, 137 Responses, and 3300 views and the general consensus seems to be:

If I did something stupid with one of my knives I wouldn't try to claim it. (my opinion too), if the knife failed within normal use....

Rewrite the warranty.

"We stand by our product 100 and 10%. If for some reason our product fails you in your endeavors please send a description of the activity you were involved when our product failed. We do not support abusive and intentional destruction of our product in this warranty."

Pretty sure with the support here in this thread alone that this wouldn't be a problem.

It's obscenely admirable for a company in this day and age to offer a "no questions asked"(go buy a plasma TV) warranty for their product, however the opportunists and those who see it as "carte blanche" to destroy that product(nothing is indestructible) ruin these good intentions.

my two cents.

Holy crap, I haven't laughed that hard in soooo long!!!!!!! I'm still laughing as I'm sitting here typing this! I love Guyon's idea of the world tour, taking this thing to a whole new level. I'm telling you, t-shirt/hat sales alone would be through the roof! It could be called the "Slipjoint World Tour 2011".

By the way I really want an ESEE Warranty Ass Whoopin Team t-shirt!!!:D
 
I'm thinking we should shop this pilot first at A&E or History Channel.
I've got a friend who recently successfully pitched a reality show to the point of a pilot, so I have access to a template.
Moose, do you have access to 900 lbs. of muscle? :D

I have access to 900 lbs of muscle, just not on the same human....

Was thinking it should be spread out amonst 4 guys. I gots about 230lbs of it. I can come up withthe rest. Most guys I know in that line of work, would work for knives, one a month plus travel expendatures. What if we held local tryouts so, we cut down on the travel money?

But you're all gonna have to get some Italian mafia type names.
 
are they members of bladeforums? if not, point them to the w&ss and this sub-forum. they obviously are either outdoor gods that there's nothing for them to learn something new so they're bored to death or they're just ignorant. nip it in the bud or at least hope they'll never pass on their genes.

I said I'd never order from CTD again, but I just picked up some brass knuckles.
Will the uniforms be pink to match the Izula on the van?
