Beware of Thompsons Scandanavian Knife Supply

I would like to warn everyone about a bad experience I've had with Brad Jarvis at Thompsons Scandanavian Knife Supply. I thought it would be really cool to try my hand at making a puuko so I contacted Brad at TSKS & told him I wanted to order the Puuko kit but would like to switch the regular Lauri stainless blade with a slightly bigger Lauri Progression Tempered blade. He said no problem & that it would cost a few dollars more. So I Paypal'd the money for the kit & the extra money for the blade to him & about 2 weeks later I get a box with just the regular (not progression tempered) SS blade, the antler piece, the guard & two fiber pieces & no handle block .
I emailed him several times & he kept promising to send the PT blade & a handle block - but they never showed up & I'm tired of false promises so now I am just trying to vent a little & warn others about the terrible experience I have had.

How long has it been?

It's been about 1 month & 1 week total. About 2 weeks since he said he would ship the handle block and PT blade. He has emailed me back & said he would give me a full refund if I send back the kit, so I will see if he can make good on that...

Alright, I sent the incomplete kit back that I'd received & he was good to his word and refunded me.
