I don't know if this is the appropriate place to vent. But here goes.
I was looking at a knife on the bay. I asked the seller if there was any wobble in the blades when open.
He took a nut and blocked me from bidding.
What's up with that?
 
Hiding something VERY VERY Clear too me buddy---STEER clear from these folks..

I contacted this douche bag about a knife and old mako case folder

Yup. No need to bid a something from someone who would take that action. Would you mind posting up the user name s I can block him? Pm me if you dont want to put it in this thread.
 
This what I asked.
Hi,
Any blade wobble when blades are open?
Thanks
This what I got back.
Hi, the knife is mint, as it came from the factory. Please read up o the definition of wobble, it should in no way be used with a mint knife, or even in good condition. It means move freely around, not as putting you hand on the blade to see if you can forcefully move it, as many novice collectors try to do. It is ridicules statement. FYI all blades have some play, if they do not, it will not snap.
If you are worried about wobble, you need to shop else were. Like I said, it is ridicules statement, that some idiot came up with.
Thanks

Whataya think?
 
Looks like the guy may have saved you a headache.

Mint. If it's not used to freshen breath, it is purely subjective.
 
1998 # 49 Queen with yellow covers. Probably in the $55 to $75 range.
Looks like a really nice one.
The seller is 54rodgers

He's right. I have a hundred Schrade Old Timers with no blade wobble, and you can't close a darn one of them.
Same thing with Great Eastern. May as well be fixed blade knives. :rolleyes:

Good advice. :thumbup:
 
Sounds like an idiot seller who thinks too highly of himself. I have a good suggestion on what he can do with that knife of his. Take that knife, shine it up really nice, turn it sideways, and shove it...
 
I got a fun response. Seems like he's had a few unhappy customers in the past.

Hi, the knife is mint, if one was to, as with about any stockman, (or any other knife) because the secondary blade, behind the master, the tang is deliberately bent so it will lay in the frame when it closes. Because of this, if you open, in this case, sheepsfoot blade and forcefully try to move the blade around it will move ever so slightly, it ids not defective as many novice collectors are led to believe, because simply they do not understand the mechanics of any thing. They are like any blade that has snap. These are production run made knives, not wrist watches, made in accordance to industry standards, if you want a custom knife, spend 10's more for one. If your one of those guys that the first thing they do is grab a blade a push it around, do us both a favor and bid some were else. This novice line of thinking has ruined many knife sales.
Thanks
