I really thought MS would finally post and say he's decided to pay SS some interest on the loan. :p
 
Funny how the human brain works.
I was reading the last few posts in this thread when my thoughts sort of wandered onto a different topic.

I was thinking.....there are many reasons why folks change their name.
Could be that it their name is difficult to pronounce, or they could want to make a fresh start - leaving a painful past behind them, then again they may want to escape their sordid past and what they did...and so on.

For instance:
Vladimir Ulyanov led the Russian revolution.
Ehrich Weis became the world's greatest escape artist.
Daniel Nigro makes knives and worked for Marble's for a while.
Richard Starkey played the drums for the Beatles.
Thomas Mapother IV starred in Mission Impossible......

This thread really reminds me of Allan Blade. You'd think people would avoid making those mistakes. So is Nigro Stewert?

I'm pretty sure this thread has effectly hindered mr. stewarts operation.

I guarantee you I'll NEVER buy another knife from him and will tell everyone I can of my choice.

I have bought many BRKT knives in the past.

I plan on buying more.

Bottom line is I like them, like the warranty and have no desire to commission a big batch.

I don't give a rat's ass about politics.
Interesting words from someone who supports RAT Cutlery, a couple of the most forthright guys in the industry who faced 'politics' from Ontario, who were using their name without permission and attempting to prevent them from making their own designs. But you obviously don't care if they get run out of business as long as you get yours.
 
and folks like you are the reason we have knifemakers like MS getting away with the crap they do.

I would just like to apologize & withdraw any negative feedback I issued concerning Mike Stewart & BRK&T.

I just heard from a very reliable source,that these attacks are a personal vendetta by SS.

I will proudly buy BRK&T knives after being correctly informed.

Don't believe everything you read.

That is all.:)

Take care,
 
well, please offer some proof. We'd all love to hear it.

Exactly, and that is why I would like proof to support your claim.

Well dah! Mike has 16 k of the guys money and has not returned it. What did you think this was an endorsement?

Remarkable.
Do you honestly think that folks who have contributed to this thread in telling of their experiences with "Mike" over a long period of time...they ALL have a personal vendetta against him?
Anyway, if someone screwed me out of $16,000 I may just feel that a personal vendetta is called for.

Take care,
Mike himself on his own forum has not disputed any of the facts SS has stated
1.They had a contract
2.He did not fulfill that contract
3.SS paid him $16,000 as part of that contract
4.He will pay SS back when its convenient for him to and is SS doesn't like it to bad.

All of that adds up to dishonorable on Mikes part in my eyes no matter what personal issues their may are may not be.

All I can say,since they don't want their name mentioned,is that they are a highly respected forumite here & they are a moderator,so they have to stay unbiased in these situations.The party I talked to has personal experience with Mike Stewart & I would take their word over all others regarding this matter.

Thanks,
John

Even Mikes own word? As I said even Mike does not dispute the basic facts
1.They had a contract
2.He did not fulfill that contract
3.SS paid him $16,000 as part of that contract
4.He will pay SS back when its convenient for him to and is SS doesn't like it to bad.

PS All I can say about your source is they must not have much confidence in Mike as they don't want their name associated with his. As for them being a moderator other moderator have already voiced their opinions.
 
Considering how popular BKRT knives are / were... you would think that MS would just give the guy his 16 grand.

Bark river Knives doesnt have 16 grand sitting around to make this all go away?
 
so, Oupa, Branton, Lombardo... they don't count?

Look guys.I just felt I had to say what I had to say.I like all you guys.:)

I just want OUT of this public lynching.


Believe what you want.I don't want to get into a "flame war" with anyone here.

I've always loved BRK&T & briefly my mind was changed,because of this thread.

My mind has been changed back for the better, I'm happy to say.:)



I don't want to offend anyone here,so this'll be my last post in this thread.

Take care fellow knifenuts:thumbup:

It is only fair that John be allowed to draw his own conclusions.
The facts are there on the table for all to see.
If he, not withstanding the growing list of witnesses, feels that we are all talking BS - gentlemen please, he must be allowed to believe what he wants to believe.
You cannot force a blind man to see or a starving one to eat.
Let him be.
