This is a family friendly forum, and you should watch your language. Be careful, your mom or wife may be reading this and think you're talking about them.You know, I just got into high end knives about 6 months ago, which I think is when I created my account here. I've come to realise that this community is full of a group of fickle little cunts.

Speaking on YouTube reviewers, apparently TheApostleP supports Will Moon now. Taken from the comments on his Will Moon MK 10 Bowie review, after somebody called out Will Moon in the comments and referenced this thread, here's Rob's response:
"I'm familiar with the thread, but I did reread much of it before writing this response. Frankly, it reads like most of the forum threads that have caused me to keep a very small footprint on forums. It's full of conjecture, speculation, and expectations based on emotion and anticipation, not on agreements between honorable men. The reason I steer clear of forums, and specifically threads like this one is to avoid making sarcastic and graceless comments about the ignorance and gutlessness of people who engage in Internet character assassination based upon hearsay, gossip and a total lack of understanding of facts, circumstances and the true character of the guy they're trashing. I have a very low tolerance for whiny drive-by high school girls on knife forums."
So there you have it folks, his opinion about BladeForums. Lol. What a joke.
I have to say, that is disappointing. His personality can be somewhat abrasive, but I always appreciated his review videos. I even tried to give him some business via his sharpening service, but he never wrote back.
This is my favorite part of his comment: "It's full of conjecture, speculation, and expectations based on emotion and anticipation, not on agreements between honorable men." He's half right. Will Moon is not an honorable man as has been proven time and time again. I suppose that folks who paid money up front expecting not to get scammed and then putting the scammer on blast are his definition of "conjecture, speculation, and expectations based on emotion and anticipation".

When someone like Rob Bixby stands up with information on the positive, you try to drag his name through the mud. Same goes for Tzvy Morias. These are well known collectors and figures in the knife community who have integrity. If anyone on this forum says anything positive, even people in positive, unimpeachable standing, your moderators close their threads and you call them shills. You attack without any rational anyone who offers evidence to contradict you without any evidence of your own.
Why? Because you believe that people might get scammed? If so, what evidence is there of any scams? If it was prevailent you'd think there'd be a myriad of people coming forth, but that's not the case. There hasn't been an actual complaint in this thread of any scams, but yet you insist they're there. Long waits, maybe, but no one paid for anything and then didn't recieve something for their money.
There's also no road to resolution here, no means by which things can be set right. In fact statements made by some of the membership here seem to indicate there is no way this conflict can be resolved. It doesn't matter if there's evidence of positive change, it doesn't matter if a person's livelihood and professional reputation are at stake, you just want to believe whatever it is that you want to believe.
Fuck Will Moon.
If we're being honest, that's a terrible attitude to have about life in general and a terrible way to treat people. I know for a fact there are people who do not renew their paid memberships on Bladeforums because of the way people on these boards conduct themselves. A lot of people. Bladeforums is losing a lot of potential income because of the way people are treated here.
I'm not will moon... Dont own any of his knives either. Pretty poor taste though to bash someone, and then not let them have a voice. I guess I'll just stick to the other forums and Instagram to buy and trade.

Quiet!!!! I can't believe you brought up that horrid sound during all those pretentious vids!! That guy swallows a ton of phlegm during every vid!! Snorts and swallows the whole time!
Absolutely nauseating!!
Sanctimonious prick if there ever was one!!
He's another one that feels if he didn't get ripped off it's no biggie.
Pretty sure there's a commandment against stealing from your fellow man.
This just pisses me off badly.

Geez loweez, I often think how unforunate it is how people seem to come out of the woodwork with tons of negativity even after they've tried to make amends. Um did I miss something when I learned about honor- one wrong turn does not deserve another. A little bit of understanding would have been all we needed here, but alas, people would rather just be hostile.
How about this, I'll make an apology: I'm sorry. There, I've said it for the second time in this thread. I can't sleep at night when my reputation is on the line, hence the posting at 4am in the morn. Believe me I'd rather be sleeping. With a lack of a 75$ to make it better, you'll have to just deal with that. Now all of you people who think you can judge my honor by a misunderstanding, think of how honorable kicking a man when he's down is. Have some compassion, we're all here for a common hobby, some with more means than others, some with much less. I've had people renege on me plenty times, I don't look at it as a huge personal insult, but then again some people take a sharpened piece of steel a little too seriously. I think I may take a sabbatical from this forum just the same. I'm sure not a great many will be sorry to hear that, but perhaps I will have fewer stomach aches for it.
I have never liked Apostle. Gotta love his response above. Just the sort of thing you like to hear from a guy who brands himself as religious.
His videos are terrible, due to the constant phlegmy throat clearing he does. It doesn't surprise me that he never got back with you on sharpening, because it seems from his videos, he only sharpens knives for friends of his. What amuses me about him is that he charges people to sharpen their knives, and does so on a Wicked Edge. A WE is a device which is specifically designed to take the guesswork out of sharpening.
Here's a perfect example of the way he's displayed himself here in the past. If you observe all the letters that he himself bolded, you will get a better idea of his true feeling when he apologizes for something.
