So you are in year 5 of this scam. It's so fortunate you managed to get that second Paypal payment back...........One has to wonder how many others have been taken in that time.Just to keep a running account of his communications since Milan got back in touch last July:
22 July 2022: Will send pictures in next two weeks, before sending for heat treat.
1 September 2022: Knife is back from heat treat. Will assembly next week.
23 November 2022: Had to re-finish the blade. Will make sheath and send pictures in next couple of days.
15 Feb 2023: Will process and ship any day. Pictures later this week.
No response as yet to my last request for an update last week. And as before, I've not received the much-rumored pictures.
No, nothing since August last year.Hey Brummie have you still not heard back from Milan Mozolic?
I’m just curious because I recently started payment plan on Arizona Custom Knives for layaway for one of his Bowie knives. I had been eyeing it for a while now and finally was able to start a payment plan on it. It wasn’t until after I googled his name and saw this thread. You’d think I would have googled him being that way was eying this knife but all I went off of is seeing it on AZCK and being like “wow I want that Bowie” and just trusting that it’s a quality Bowie because it’s on the site.
I know I’m not dealing with Milan myself and my business is with AZCK but it does not make me feel good to support a maker who is a liar. Though I have to realize if I take notice of most of the maker’s of my knives are controversial yet I must have their knives. Such as Strider, Emerson, Chris Reeve even. People’s personalities can be abrasive and some might even have their integrity and word questioned but they have a notoriously successful product however that never excuses lying but also some people build their empires on lies.
Holy crap I’m rambling. I was just wondering what the situation was like an update and that I think it sucks I chose a Bowie made by a liar but damn it’s a nice Bowie. Im wrapping up my knife collection of about 11 knives, that’s my team. I had chosen that Bowie just looking at it and reading the description. I just found out about the maker’s lack of integrity recently though but I wonder if I still would have picked it up regardless. I’m not thinking resale value when I chose it, his reputation taking a dip and so it will probably depreciate I don’t know but I can’t afford to play this knife game where it gets to big and out of control and I can’t enjoy my knives. I think it’s wise to choose a team. I’m just in the back of my mind like it sucks the makers have bad reps but their knives prevail in my collection as the chosen ones.
This. If you can't trust him to act as an honest businessman, how can you trust him to be an honest knife maker?So sorry to hear about this whole experience Brummie . Given his history, I wouldn’t trust anything he said at all, I wouldn’t trust his heat treat, his HRC claims, or anything else for that matter. 5 years of this utter nonsense is complete insanity and bs on his part and I would never trust this individual ever. Appreciate you making all of us aware to stay away from this individual.

Exactly. Amazing how when your moral compass is corrupted everything is tainted.Doing a google search, it looks like Milan Mozolic is running a production company. He may not be making individual custom knives anymore. I don’t have Facebook or any other social media account, but I see a lot of pictures of Damascus steel patterned knives under his name. I would not trust the heat treat either.

Well, last week came and went. No photo, no tracking, no further communication. Feels like there just might be a pattern here . . .
