Having had it this long (well over a week) you SURELY must qualify for the "Self-injury" thread ....no??.........or have you broken it again?

Teddy,

Oh yeah. I gashed my left thumb before it broke the FIRST time. It's working FINE now.

Your thumb, or the knife?

It'd be nice if it was both.....but the odds are against it...

BOTH thumb and knife are working fine. Thanks for asking.

What about the other thumb?

J-man,

Wait a second, let me check...............my right thumb, the one that pushes the button, is resting comfortably on my right hand - exactly where I expected to find it. Thank you for asking.

The SECOND spring just broke on my Godfather.

I wish the knife had a little counter on it so I could get some idea how many clicks it takes before it busts.

Mr. Falcon,

In the new spirit of "no personal attacks" I am going to keep my usual smart-ass comments to myself...

Mr Falcon
You dont need a repairman, you need an exorcist...

Can we make this into a sitcom?

Mr. Benny,

Great one! LOL!

Falcon,

This time, make certain that ProTech puts in a metal spring.

This, then, is probably indicative of a problem with the knife body,
and how it houses the spring. Is it possible to get Protech to
replace the entire knife? It seems like that is your best alternative.

I was ready to buy one, but after reading about your adventures
in broken knifedom, I think I'll look elsewhere.

I wish you better fortune, and quick knife replacement.

Gort,

I think that eschewing Godfather ownership based on The Falcon's experiences is a hasty decision. There are many, many more of us that own Godfathers that have never had anything like the bad luck that The Falcon has had. Ask Waya - he's got zillions of them, apparently. I have two and neither have ever malfunctioned. They are really great knives, IMHO the best US-made neo-stiletto knives available to addicts like you and me today. Come on - be a courageous alien robot!
