My BIGGEST issue is that he does NOT disclose anywhere on his page that the items shown are not currently in stock, nor does he give any kind of ETA. I only found out that he takes "quite some time" from a video on youtube after waiting a couple of months for shipping. I contacted him and that was the first of probably 10 "it's almost done" emails from him, always with a fresh excuse.
Thing is, I live in the woods, like DEEP in the woods, and every fall and spring we have serious bear encroachments, and yearlong the risk of cougar attack is real (they've been breeding fairly well, they prey on the rancher's sheep up here). I pretty much NEED to have a good solid knife with me at all times, so had I known this guy was going to take 1-7 YEARS I definitely would have forked out the $$$ for a really good Bowie knife. BUT I also live close to where first blood was filmed, in fact, almost identical terrain to the first act, so hey, "let's get a first blood knife"...but I always thought those screwdriver tips looked like something that would catch or gouge in an emergency, so where do you find one without them.....and here we are, almost 2 years later bitching on a public forum.
Additional note...he SAID he would send it rush/priority, but he send it regular parcel, so it's STILL on the other side of the continent. Posted on the 9th of June. The lies just NEVER stop with this guy. My suspicion is that he's getting a large number of orders "PAID UP FRONT" and he's busy enjoying/spending the money. Probably has a new boat, and in fact he said he was moving, maybe bought a new house, but he's not putting the money back into the business by hiring help, so I think overall it's GOOD to have a thread like this, and the more personal experiences the better. Especially now that it sounds like his once "okay" service is slipping into "not at all okay, not by a long shot"
Will still post photos if/when it ever arrives.
