Please ask him to contact makdknife1 concerning the Gladius. I'm 99.99 percent sure he won't, but there is always that .01 percent chance... I know if I was him, but honest, and someone called me a thief, and a wasn't - I'd be very pissed off and on the phone/email to that person/accuser. Note: I have not heard from Dean since sometime in March 2018. The knife was in 'pending mode' for, literally, months (about 3 or 4) before March. Here it goes again - Dean Hannemann, of Blade Gathering, is a thief. One can only assume he stole my Gladius which was shipped and received by him, and put up for a consignment sale on his site. Apparently, he sold it and kept my money, or he simply kept the knife because he refuses to communicate with me. I have contacted the Feds and local law enforcement and have made the proper reports. I'm hoping to have him prosecuted.
