Well let me join in, I thought I was the only one and had fallen through a crack. I placed an order with Mr Koster on 9-30-2014 and luckily just paid the deposit of $80, like the man above I never bothered the man, I did email at the one year anniversary to check up, no reply to that, I think I got an email the next year of some sort of list of runs and peoples names, I had some hope and replied to that email, but no response. I believe 3 years is much to long for such a simple knife as I ordered and he proclaims to make it through his portfolio of knives in batches at least a couple times a year. Koster is not even trying to be a good business man, a 3 year wait and no communication and no end in sight, my best guess is I will never hear from him or see my order fulfilled, I would like my eighty dollars back and an apology for wasting my time. Knife forums is making a mistake letting this guy use their site to scam people. Sincerely Gary Pulliam
