Well, MA did have a final check point thank goodness...to sharpen the blade further, and to give it a

hands on touch...to justify the price. And to catch flaws. I don't think they were counting on

defects in a whole batch. Remember, they have other knives in production, and making knives

for other knife companies, so to send a rep to LQMT to look over their shoulders.......

that's a big drain on expenses.... They trusted LQMT to do proper QC, knowing they would have

a chance for detailed inspection at their MA site....luckily the problem was caught. Lets be thankful

none were sold....so it was all an internal production problem...nothing that made it to the

consumer...so someone could trash the reputation of MA. Now MA knows to keep a keen eye on

LQMT....and LQMT knows it better get its "poop" together....the only reputation that got hurt was

LQMT, unfortunately. And we as stockholders have a right to know how it happened, what happened,

and whats being done to make sure it never happens again.

In business, INTEGRITY wins support of customer and investors alike. From what i see thats what lqmt is missing. Everyone admires a straight shooter. One simple thing that gets people on board is to communicate whats going on and then DOING WHAT YOU SAY YOUR GOING TO DO!

Time and time again Steipp has told us about parts in the midst, or military contracts, or many things right around the corner only to later ignore what he said or pretend to be clueless about it when it is brought up at a later time. Now, knifes in June and no communication from lqmt. If something planned doesnt happen my learned expectation from lqmt is silence....that creates alot of doubt, suspicion, and frustration.

Milltner Adams has built a company on having a stellar product and a great reputation. With this mindset i imagine that they are very frustrated that their knives to the pre orders were not able to be shipped when they said they would be shipped. They broke the rule DO WHAT YOU SAY YOR GOING TO DO to their customers. Their answer was to quickly communicate to the customer why and what happened. On the back side of that, obviously lqmt wasn't able to deliver WHAT They said they would WHEN they said they would.

Maybe i am wrong and have this read entirely differently then it truly happened. I hope that lqmt takes care of MA beyond his expectation, that is the way to earn business period.

I, as much as any want LQMT to blow up big time. There is a real potential with this metal and the patents they share with apple, but we need to call out shoddy followthrough because it will affect all our chances to be in on a successful investment.
