Avoid Prince Craft Works - they are a rip off!

[BigBear2]

I recently ordered some knives and knife blades from Prince Craft Works in India. I've avoided buying anything from India or Pakistan until now but their knives and Damascus knives and axes looked so good that I decided to take the risk and sent them over $600. That was in January!

Then their machine broke, then they were just finishing them, then their foreman died, then his Mum got taken ill! Then I woke up!

This is their web site and details.

Now it is being shipped UPS but he can't give a tracking number. It's bin in transit 8 weeks now!? Watch out for these guys they are just rip off merchants. I won't buy anything outside of the US from now on but thought I should warn y'all. Serves me right should have bin more careful.

Yep, I agree, it's your own fault, but thanks for confirming the fact that they are not reliable. May have saved someone else some grief.

Well I sure do hope so. They are liars and charlatans. I can't a straight word out of them?

Looks like I'm not the only sucker.

Wished I googled them before

No wonder people are not getting their stuff... they sell knives on their site they don't own.

This one for example was made by dutch knifemaker Ed De Pauw:

And I even see a Boker "Grabendolch" on their site.

Kind regards,
