anyone know this guy?
nice looking knives but the warranty bothers me???
how old will he be 500 years from now?

http://www.copperheadknives.com/for_sale.htm

some warranty he has here forever by him personally
he says quote

AND THIS FOREVER WARRANTY tm RUNS WITH THE KNIFE - FOREVER! If the knife passes hands over the next five hundred years, the warranty is still in place to whomever is fortunate enough to hold the knife in his hands!

AND PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL - ANY OWNER, AT ANY TIME, ONE HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW OR AT ANY TIME, has a written guarantee that he may send the knife back to the address below, and I will personally refinish the knife and sharpen it to a razor edge - FREE OF CHARGE, FOREVER! The owner pays only shipping
 
What is he selling knives for??? He could make more money selling his elixir of eternal life. He could still make knives, just as a hobby.... :)
 
Yes just a tad carried away there I'd say.

Never mind 500 years, the warranty would be infinite.

Maybe he's betting shipping will be prohibitive, say 100 years from now.

Edited to add:

If you think that's something, you should see the resume.

Oh and he's got infinity covered. He's 'made arrangements' you see, with 'younger knife makers'.

Didn't come down in the last shower this guy. He has TWO Doctorates in Law AND was a "notorious federal convict with a 50 year sentence" (I think that's right), among other things.

He's a one-off, that's for sure.
 
Isn't this the old, eccentric guy who was banned from CKD and a couple other forums? Either way, this looks like crap to me. :barf:
 
You know you are at the bottom of the barrel when you get banned from the CKD:D
 
I would think that a man with two doctorates would know how to spell correctly and be well-versed on basic sentence structure.

But, I'm no doctor so what do I know? :D

His "links" page does have some links to some of the knifemakers that frequent these forums, but I did a search on his book, and only found one link -- the one on his own page.
 
Hi, Dan.
I have been very conservative with it, but I think I have shared more with friends than I have used so far:D

They make prettier knives than I do anyway ;)
 
Hate to say it, but by his picture, he has one foot in the grave already. Not sure if I would have his warrenty as a selling point ;)
 
This guys site is one of the most commical I have ever seen. I am thinking this must be a gag site :D

YES.

A VERY FEW SELECT PEOPLE ARE WELCOME TO OWN ONE OF THESE INCOMPARABLE MUSEUM KNIVES! I have five requests in now.

But I will not make one for just anybody, and I reserve the right to refuse to share my work with anyone, without cause. Owning a Copperhead Knife tm is not a right, it is an extremely unique privilege to be shared by only a very select few people on Earth.

IF YOU WANT TO CHOP 2 X 4s or beer cans or iron bars, if you want to clamp your knife in a vice and see how far you can bend it, that's fine. I have no problem with that, I think it's great fun. On junk knives

My knives would laugh at those abuses, but I would not! My knives are only for perfectionists who want the very finest, ne plus ultra, most flawless knives money can buy.

AND WHEN MY ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER SOME DAY, I have already, of course, made arrangements with several younger, professional knifemakers, to take over my FOREVER WARRANTIES tm, solely as a lifetime personal commitment favor to me. And these young knifemakers will pass the FOREVER WARRANTIES tm on down to younger men - until the Lord comes back for us! Whoever has the unique pleasure of owning one of these masterpiece of art and science will always be able to enjoy this warranty, through this simple address below.

My regular fees, forty years ago, were $750 an hour - minimum

:eek: In 1963 you charged $750 an hour??? LAMO!!!!!!!
 
Hilarious. But he might actually make some good knives. His prices are up there with the heavyweights, But then again, they don't offer a million year guarantee. Gee. I wonder if I'd be lucky enough to pass his rigorous standards and qualify to spend a few thousand dollars and buy one of his blades? Oh well. I guess I'll just have to settle for a crummy old Moran or maybe a Loveless...:rolleyes:
 
:eek: :D Give me a F-cking break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(His book is on Half.com for 0.75 for those interested lol)
 
I believe he has made exactly two knives, total. And those only with the help of ALL the makers at CKD, in every step of their production. And every time he asked a question of the makers, and got a reply, he called the makers liars, and debased their experience. He finally got banned from there. I believe he was banned here after his first post at Shoptalk. This guy acts like a total A$$hole. He posted under the name of Gene at CKD. I cant remember what name he used here. :rolleyes: ;) :D :eek:
Maybe too many sessions with the Tossed Salad Man (in prison)affected his brain.
:confused: JMO.
 
Mike,
I've been trying all day to recall his stage name here and I can't. What makes me remember him is his location. Mayo, FL :eek: :)
 
According to him, every single knife maker out there is inferior to this guy!! He spent 5 days just looking for wax online. And a full week on the guard. God, I would love to meet this guy just to laugh at him in person.:)
 
If you have the time, here's a dizzying account of how this troll behaves. It get's pretty nasty around page (4)... :barf: This was his 'Swan Song' post on the CKD.
