Well, after a few years of constant use, my Kershaw Chive is having a bit of an ED issue. The assisted opening just isn't "cutting it" as it were.  Looked up the warrantee info on the Kershaw site and it says I can send it in and they will fix it for free. Better yet, with a simple request, they will send me the torsion bar and I can do it myself. New parts on the way... |

Glad to hear customer service is still in service at some companies. I've been carrying an old Kbar that my dad bought me when I was about 10, or a small swiss army knife - I forget the model name. I just assembled a liner lock that I'm really liking. I'm bad about taking pictures and uploading pics, so I won't make any promises. I will try to get to it sometime though. www.knifekits.com all kinds of fun projects for the tinkerer/do it yourselfer. This is the one I assembled www.knifekits.com/vcom/index.php?cPath=1_156 with the leopard wood scales. It was really pretty easy, the scales came predrilled, I just had to sand/cut them down as they were very generously sized. (I got a little too aggressive on part of the sanding though) The rest of the kit basically screws together. There is a really easy spring assist kit that I'm thinking of building next. They advertise it as a 20minute project. hmm, maybe a nice father's day present for some dads I know. |

Got an envelope from Kershaw yesterday. No fanfare, just 3 replacement springs in there. Nice to have a couple of backups. And they sent it inside a week too!  I didn't realize that my spring was actually broken. Swapped it out in a few minutes and it works better than new. Very snappy now. I have nothing but good things to say about their CS. |

Congrads for fixing it yourself vs. sending it in. ;D

My father would say I inherited my grandfather's parsimonious gene, however, since I manage to spend any savings on new gadgets, I told him I'm only partial-monious.

"parsimonious?" Dang, had to look it up.
The only thing I hate worse than a name-dropper is someone that tries to impress you by using big words. ;D
Dennis Miller drives me crazy.

I thought they did everything BIG in Texas TMan. Is there an exception for language?
I had to look it up too. ;D I like to think I have a substantial command of the English language, but my father often overestimates my grasp of those obscure words. Either that, or he's just still learnin' on me.
Those $5 words come in handy now and then though. By the time your client figures out that "parsimonious" isn't really the compliment that it appears, but just "cheap" in a pretty dress, he's already back home trying to haggle someone else...
