Hey fellas really sorry for not following up! As I've said, been fairly sick and also quite busy at work, though I agree I should've been far more prompt in following up and will cop that criticism.
(It also probably didn't help that I was just feeling bummed and not wanting to make time and deal with this while stressed out, but again I should've been more onto it.)
Thanks Last Rodeo for defending me there, I remember having some great interactions in the past, I do love the traditional forum.
Also thanks so much Tombstone for reaching out to Ken as well, that is much appreciated! I'm sure it helped us work through this.
I just checked my inbox and saw that Ken has responded, saying he didn't like that I was "telling lies" about him, and that I should "Be careful with the lies" and that my knife hadn't been broken before (It 100% has but I'm willing to accept that things get forgotten in the mix, as it has been a few years since the first break)
I just gave Ken a call and after a bit of back and forward I ended up giving him my address to send the replacement knife he made out to me, along with the pieces of my original knife, which I was happy about as they're sentimental to me.
Also weirdly enough, he had no idea what I meant when I mentioned the orange knife he sent me, asking me whether it had his mark on it or not.
I said that it was definitely marked 'Coats' but I suggested that it was probably just a mix up somewhere along the line. (Address's may have been mixed up or something, I honestly have no idea)
He said he'll send the package out soon so I should get it in a few weeks, so I'll be sure to update you all then.
I'm glad we could move forward in this matter, it wasn't my intention to slander Ken in any way and I'm glad we're going to get to a resolution soon in this bizarre turn of events.
