No major issues or anything I couldn't rectify on my own so far. The cutters are replaceable but probably still aren't available. First they had get their manufacturing issues straightened out. I was told they would replace the pliers if an issue with the cutters had occured and that my satisfaction came first. I can live with that. I may have tried to swap out a rusty screw on my own first but if I couldn't come up with one then next day me a new set no biggie (both bean and orvis have replaced stuff next day when I wasn't happy or needed a replacement and expressed that I shouldn't be the one inconvenienced by being without, they even paid for return shipping, bean even did this with waders). I had the same issue that luds48 had with the sheath, no biggie 5 minute fix, bent the clip back reversed. These babies were used 5-6 times a week from mid Aug into the second week of Dec. Now don't get me wrong I like most anything Van Stall but compare these at $129 to a little over $300 and it's a no brainer. It would still be nice to see Orvis address the issues others are having with these ASAP.
