This guy was trying to scam all over the place it would appear. Babbit contacted me a few months ago here on Blade Forums about putting high grade wood handles on the "kit" knives that he had gotten from Mike. Of course, he implied that this was some kind of Snody Knives authorized marketing scheme. Something about him made my ass itch, probably the idea that Mike needed any help with marketing, so i didn't follow up. Good decision on my part apparently.
