Andre De Villers ( Knife Maker)Treating people really bad and REFUNDING

[ooitzoo]

I have a blacked out Tac Butcher(purchased from an authorized dealer) that I carry every day. It's a jewel. After reading countless negative threads about this maker, I would rather gargle with broken glass than deal direct with him.

Having dealt with this titan of industry directly, trust me -- you might actually be better off gargling broken glass.

So I place my order for the knives I want, once is a custom and the other is a mid tech, got a price and I send him the money on paypal.
I am super excited and i see he posts another knife and so I order that one also.

3days go by and no word that he has gotten my money so I post on FB that the money was paid that same day and no reply back, did you get the money or did I do
something wrong. Granted I about $2000.00 wrapped up in paypal going to South Africa and I want to know if he got the money and is clear on the order.

So i email him and still no reply. Today he gets back to my post and says that he was not aware I sent the money and De Friends me on FB and says he is going to refund me right now.

I just want my knives but since he de friended me I cannot even get a comment back to him.

Paypal refunds me and that JACK ASS will not even speak to me anywhere , than today I see a post that says he will no longer ship to anyone that FB page does not match up to the Paypal email.

Well my FB is my business account and my Paypal is personal. Still I have no way of getting to talk to him, and what a frustrating experience.

has some great knives but jesus, he has made it impossible for me to get them. WTF

Bro, sounds like you weren't taught to not do business with shady people. If he refunded your money, consider it a lesson learned. He could have just ignored you. He already has a bad reputation for his business ethics. Just find a better knife!

It's been over 8 years since this occurred. Likely has a few better knives by now. OP has been here since 7 years ago so we probably won't know that either.
