Zogger Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/02/15 Posts: 268 Loc: NY	Right before Christmas, my beautiful Model 23 with Thuya Burl handle that I got back in March showed a crack in the handle. I contacted the shop and have sent it back for repair. I know they will make it all better again! My wife says I have been mopey since I found the crack. It is my EDC when in the house or on the property. It has been a wonderful knife! I will be carrying my Triathlete until the Model 23 comes back.

I've got a couple that breathe a bit too. Been really cold and dry lately for lots of folks. Not good for natural materials that like to move. _________________________ Warren

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2120 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Zogger Sorry to hear about/see the crack. I have had Thuya on a RMK for many years(both CW and Shop supplied) and have not had a problem (touch wood, ha, ha). I don’t live that far from you, so our climates are similar. I am pretty certain the shop will make it right. That is a good looking knife.

TAH Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/26/05 Posts: 2382 Loc: USA	I assume cracks in natural handle material are not covered under the warranty, so the shop will take care of this for a fee? _________________________ Tom RKS #4233

RamKingJC Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/12/15 Posts: 3066	It's shop supplied wood so there should be no fee. CW is NOT covered. _________________________ James Caruso RKCC #CM008 rugermark2jc@gmail.com "First comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire."
