No but his exact words are
I won't deal with someone who repeatedly uses the word "knifes" to refer to knifes
They are the same word.
Hello Andrew, welcome to Bladeforums.
Take a moment, slow down a bit, people tend to make mistakes when they are desperate and in a hurry.
First, the word "knife" , spelled with an "f" refers to one knife. The word "knives" spelled with a "v" refers to multiple knives. This is basic English. The word "knifes", as a reference to multiple knives is simply incorrect and does not exist in the English language.
Second, buying and selling items on the internet involves a certain amount of trust, so naturally people get a bit suspicious whenever anything even hints of a fishy smell (like the combination of being desperate and bad spelling).
Third, bad first impressions are hard to correct, but not impossible. The possibility of stolen knives being sold on this forum is a very sensitive issue, and rightly so. Now I'm not accusing you of anything, you say you purchased your knives from BladeHQ, I have purchased several knives from there myself. BladeHQ maintains customers order records, customers have access to those records online, BladeHQ also sends emails to customers confirming their purchases, if you could perhaps provide screen shots of your BladeHQ order records showing the knives that you are trying to sell, that might ease members minds regarding any concerns they might have that the knives might be stolen. Just a suggestion.
