Folks, Drew stated he'd contact all of us so as to give us the option to have our knives returned "as is", in case someone would've wanted his/her knife back sooner. Since he's n/a, we can't even exercise that option. I just sent a certified letter (with a return receipt attached) to his shop, and it was signed for. I believe Ogre did the same, without a response as well. In mine, I enclosed for him a self-addressed, postage-paid postcard that he could just scribble a message on and drop into the nearest mailbox. I received the return receipt from the cert. letter over a week ago, but not the postcard. I just don't understand. Maybe he's ashamed of the situation, but there's no reason to be ashamed. He had a perfectly logical explanation for being "away". But, I just don't understand why someone won't return a postcard that's basically "ready to go"!!! Hell, all I wanted from Drew was an estimate of how far the project had progressed or where he left off. That way I could've made a decision as to whether I wanted him to do the extra steps or not. As is, I haven't been given that option. Very aggravating.
