    His main problem was that he was trying to make knives to an unobtainable level of perfection with the kind of operation he had. The other was dreaming up new designs and trying to put those into production when the original designs were never getting made, finished, & shipped out.
    It sounds like his OCD and/or autism, and over ambition got the best of him, and he was too proud listen to anyone else trying to talk some sense into him trying to help him.

    I knew Guy was making excuses, and that his manufacturing process was badly in need of process development for scale, and that he didn’t price to cover costs but I didn’t realize that it was THAT bad, with him bottlenecking 80% of the manufacturing processes and going AWOL half the time. Looks like he did pretty much everything wrong from both a business strategy and manufacturing process development perspective.

    Interesting video, Slater! What a bizarre situation! Full stop! I'm not super familiar with the knife industry, but stuff like this happens in the guitar/instrument/music industry ALL the time. There'll be a talented luthier (guitar builder) who impresses everyone with his instruments, gets stars in his eyes about starting a guitar company, starts taking order for guitars, and a year or two later inevitably gets in over his head, takes too many pre-orders, can't keep up, and files for bankruptcy the next year, leaving customers without their guitars, etc. Alway a sad situation! I suppose it just sort of reinforces your point, Erica, about working with custom knife makers who have their hands on every single knife, who do their own custom heat treats, as opposed to Survive, who did NOT have his hands on every single knife, but was using Peter's heat treat to try to keep up with all the back orders... It says a lot about you, Erica, that you're trying to find a solution to this situation, and not just talking reddit conspiracy nonsense and empty political bantering etc. You're such a wonderful, empathetic person, and I appreciate you!!

      Ordered 1 in 2022 and had asked for a refund months ago after sending numerous emails, certified letter, and social media posts with response back. I feel that if this 5,000 pre-orders that were paid for, maybe a class action lawsuit should be in progress. Why should the average hard-working American have to lose his money for somebody? I knew when he started posting CZcams videos two to three times a week. Crying about every little thing that everybody else goes through in life. Like losing a family member, the steel problem, how this destroyed his marriage, and how he works everyday was excuses because guess what? Everybody has those same issues. If people decide to do anything about going after him please let me know because it's not right that he's going to walk away and we get stiffed.
