Not Yet.
I didnt know the mods I asked for were that hard to do. Maybe I will ask for the knife back plus the ti for the scales that I wanted. I will give him some more time.

Okay - its been awhile now and promises have yet to be fullfilled.
I have not heard form Drew and neither has two other Fourm Members that I am in contact with.
We have a rope and are looking for a tree right now - unless Mr Gleason comes through.
My patience is over... I want my knife back. Now.
Done per the initial agreement, or in the same condition as when I sent it. Appologies are rather hollow when offered with no backing of works.
Everyone can see that Mr Gleason at least made an attempt to pacify us - yet no one has heard from him.
I have talked to my good friend who is a lawyer, a good one too. He told me March 1st is a good deadline. So thats what he's got. If I dont have my knife back - well... lets just hope he comes through.
I am very pissed off about this... and I am not the only one. If it was just me, and one knife - I could write it off... but there are several others with a total value much higher than my one. It all adds up to a terrible stink.

I mean, if I went around saying I was an Emperor because some
moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, people would put me away!

Drew, I have never had any work done by you, but I know you have been on the forums for a long time, and have always enjoyed your posts and pictures of your work. I know of a few members that have knives done by you, and they all speak very highly of it and you. I know you goofed the first time by letting people hang, and not contacting them. You came on and explained yourself very well. Now, maybe you find it easier the second time around to simply ignore the problem? Drew, I dont think I need to tell you that this is not fair to those who have trusted you with their knives and money. Look, just come back, BEG forgiveness and finish your work, or see to it that you put their knives back in working order, apologize and return their knives ASAP. Take your lumps, and move on. I think you will find that these members are some of the most understanding and forgiving folks you will find, but anybodys kindness can only go so far. Do not take advantage of peoples trust. Im sure something can be worked out with your customers, and hopefully your reputation as a stand up guy can be restored, but you must confront this problem NOW!!! A good reputation can take a great amount of time to build, and can be destroyed overnight by something like this. You are fortunate that your customers are willing to give you many chances, but their patience is wearing thin, and understandably so. It may seem harsh that some have stated a willingness to take legal action, but what choice have you left them? The ball is in your court Drew, lets hope you di the right thing.

We are still waiting to here from you Drew.
I know you contacted one fellow - why not the rest of us?
Come on Drew -
Do you remember me at all?
The deal we had?
I sent you a black bladed BM MINI AFCK.
I wanted Titanium scales and a clip added in your regular AFCK mod style... The Ti anodized blue... I wanted the Ti scales as thin as reasonable to reduce the overall thickness...
I would think you could do that modification is just a few minutes...
I tell you what - if the scales are made and clip made - send them to me with my knife and I can screw the scales on.
I didnt ask for anything special - no file work or anything... Just new parts.
Whats going on now?
You got my email address - kodiac@hotbot.com
kodiac@chunga.net or ghill@cisco.com
Take your pick. AT LEAST Contact me.
Maybe you dont have my address - If thats the problem - email me - and I will send it to you.
Its time to finish this.

Okay - I just got word from a fellow member here that he got his knives back from Drew.
he forwarded the Digital Pix and the knives indeed looked very good.
I have yet to hear on word from him about my knife - not since I first sent them and he only confirmed that he had indeed recieved the knife I sent him.
If anyone here who knows him - could you talk to Drew for me - I would like to know why I am being ignored by him and what he is planning to do with my knife.
I'm feeling like i'm left getting screwed here.
Did this thread piss him off? Hell - I OFFERED TO MAIL A COMPUTER TO HIM! I got a 486 thats mothballed but works fine... that while not state of the art would certainly allow the man to log into the blade forums and check emails! I could have shipped it to him for free if it would have helped him out. I was willing to give it to him out of good faith.
What can I do to get my knife back? Finished or As is when I sent it?
What?
