Balzano Completes His Second Knife...

i think Heineken was one of the prototypes that he made for the Gathering for PDW and Balz tried to sell it to multiple people fucked over quite a few people. I cant fuck balzano up o social media enough. just hand the guy the gasoline and he'll light the cigarette that will send him up in flames. Hes got Darriel Caston believing his funk as well. Balzano said he would get into a ring with me and fight out our aggression but the minute i stated a liability wavier for both her pulled out. He fucked over Arena knives and his biggest supporter is Zodiac Eng who backs him all the time along with RAD knives . thats a tight ciricle seeing as as much as Zodiac says hes not working with Balz they work out of the same shop.
 
Arena Knives backed out of the project then stole material from the waterjet shop the knives were already blanked out at including material that was not even for that job. Don't try and twist the story. Caston is well aware of everything, as am I. Paulo and I do in fact work in the same shop, along with a couple others. That does in no way make his business mine or mine his. We are not the same business, company, entity, anything. Two separate businesses working out of a collective shop where we've pooled all of our equipment together. I don't think that's that difficult to understand, but for someone as fucking retarded as you are it seems you'll never get a grasp on reality and keep spewing the same tired bullshit you sucked out of Arenas ass years ago. Nobody talks to Rad anymore.

What about balzano owing BladeHQ money is that not true?
 
Man, kickstarter needs to shut his project down unless he can prove he will fulfill all backers orders. With his documented history of issues specifically related to fulfillment issues they should be watching him very closely at the very least. But I'd be far more comfortable if they just shut down the project. Balzano is dishonest and a stain on the name knifemaker.
 
We don't normally censor a bit of overheated language but ...

Please remember we have a wide variety of people here, including many who find really crude vulgarity unnecessary and unwelcome.

Did you pay in full for a folder? How long ago? Just curious.

Yes in 2013 paid 700 in full for a FOU folder which was sold to multiple people including myself even thou there was only one available. Balzano said he would provide two knives due to the wait which I agreed to since I had no other choice. One was due at g6 and the other within 6 months. Met him in person outside g6 since he wasn't allowed to enter and was given a choice between a FLX that's didn't even have a detent or a proto knife that appeared finished. Took the proto which after playing with it at g6 found I and many others couldn't open the folder with one hand and the blade would close by just a thumb push no spine wack required. He tried to never put anything down in writing but luckily I still have the emails saying he owed me another folder. At the end of the day I told him to just send me parts and even that he couldn't do.

As far as I'm aware it's true. Like I said though, I have nothing to do with his business or anything he owes anyone.

Thank you for the clarification. So you work in the same shop but you have nothing to do with his business, you folks never work on projects together?

I have a shop in Orange. Always have. Paulo, a couple others and myself pooled all of our machines together in this spot and we run our individual businesses within one shop. I do not have anything to do with Balzano Knives, his sales, his emails, his texts, his DM's, etc. Paulo Balzano and Paulo Balzano alone is Balzano Knives. It's quite simple to understand so not sure why anyone struggles with this so much. Paulo and I have worked together on things and it has always gone well between the two of us. I've machined parts for him and everytime it has gone well. He's supplied good files, deposits and paid his balances when parts are completed as any good customer of mine does. Regardless of him being in the same shop it's handled as any dealing would be handled between client/vendor.

The majority of his knives he makes himself manually on his machines he owns and has here at the shop. I've made parts for him and will be making the parts for his Kickstarter. By trying to maliciously shut his Kickstarter down you'll be hurting many small businesses including mine, our local waterjet vendor, a heat treat shop here in California, and anyone else that's owed money or knives by him including BladeHQ. FOU's are currently in process and will be completed shortly, I can guarantee this.

Paulo is a friend of mine, sticking up for him is what any friend would do. Funny how FlipinBean bean hates on this so hard when he's doing the same exact thing for Arena every single day of his life. Only difference is what Flipin bean keeps talking about he had absolutely nothing to do with himself. I was involved from the very beginning between those dealings between Paulo, myself and PDW. For the record, PDW shafted him, as they did me on a separate job as well as at least four other well known makers that I'm aware of. There's a reason nobody wants to work with them. Funny how it was all blamed on Paulo because he's a "thief" and "drug addict" when the only person that stole anything was Arena Knives from my waterjet vendor and the "drugs" we're Paulo's girlfriends prescription (which was a full unopened bottle) in his car.

I can't deny Paulo owes anything to anyone but that has nothing to do with me or my business.

So, you share a shop, you share equipment, you make stuff for him, you guarantee the completion of his product, and you stick up/defend him. You are also financially tied to him. And you wonder why people are confused when you say you have nothing to do with him? This situation stinks.

So by shutting down his kickstarter is hurting him and possibly his ability to repay people/businesses he owes a lot of money to? Tough titties. This guy Paulo sounds like the kind of guy that could win the lotto and still not fulfill his previous debts. Shutting down the kickstarter campaign sounds like it may save a lot of people from getting screwed out of money by this crook...

Other than being a member of this community who has been ripped off by an unscrupulous maker (not Balzano) and avoided being ripped off by the GBU forum, I have not dog in this fight. That being said, I agree 100% with the two posts above. I would also add that I have yet to hear about Balzano trying to make amends or pay back all the people and businesses to which he owes money. That speaks volumes about his character and IMHO is reason enough to oppose his Kickstart campaign.
 
Wait so when Paulo Bolted with the Merch for PDW that they had paid for right before G6 and he was with Narcotics which wasn't his regardless of Prescription pills . and you say prescripts . So Paul Stec aka Paulo Balzano was ousted for also trying to Brown Bag the G6 as well and when he refused to give the money he owes back to Arena he ducked out. People know the truth you wanna stick up for your friend thats all well and good but he needs to fix all his mess ups in the community. Also how was a felon allowed to carry a firearm with out a licence
 
PDW never paid for anything.
Your lady never left anything in your car before?
From what I heard from multiple people was you, ArenaKnives and BladeJunkee tried to fight Paulo which is why anyone was told to leave, not brown bagging. This was from multiple third parties.
When you quit a job, back out and leave you get nothing. Nobody owed Arena anything but he took it upon himself to go to my waterjet vendor and harass the secretary while everyone else there was out to lunch and forced her to allow him in the shop and take whatever he wanted. That's theft. He took material that was never his which is why the police were involved and the owner of that shop went to his shop and got whatever he could back. It's all in emails.
 
No one Attacked paulo ...that lesser form of a human was going up with the cops when i was at lunch. he tried to sell justin Laffer and several people the same knife. His girl was at the casino with him if he was pulled over with it in the car it stands to reason she was with him when he got pulled over. Sep went back to get his stuff and due to the secretary not seperating the order all the materials went with sep who then returned it and last i checked when the owner of the shop went back he picked up the materials which sep willingly and with out malice allowed the owner to retrieve. ALso on that Caveat your lady doesnt keep a high cap no CA legal mag and firearm in the car as well. when Sep asked for his money that Paulo never gave him for the use of his shop as rent. Paulo went from some one who was trying to brag to GTC knives to a wimppering shell of a studdering man about the moneyand where he would get said money.
 
in fact because of a post Paulo tried to get me ousted as well but i keep records of texts. you cant hurt any one if you Hate F**K his soul. but apparently the cops were thinking i flew off the handle at Paulo. and i already told Caston Ill go toe to toe with Balz aka Stec in the ring just sign a liability waiver with his legal name. and with witnesses and its over. then from my understanding balz pulled out like his dad should of.
