Dear members,
This is an issue which needs to be addressed and it is to do with Britt Gudowski’s insults towards me. Back in the time when I was making the First Blood tribute knife no other maker was making them, now there are seven or eight makers making them, it is a good thing that other makers out there are offering this knife because it keeps the memory of Jimmy alive and it is an interesting knife to make as well also it gives the collector an opportunity to own a handmade FB which otherwise would have been impossible to buy.
The reasons I have decided to put this information on BF is simple, I hate deception and lies being told behind my back and I hate people who are poison to this industry. Last night I was sent a link to Britt Gudowski’s blog, we all know the product he is offering to the collector market, we have all read in the last few months on BF the issues which have been made clear dealing with this person who calls himself a ‘Knife Maker’, first issue I have with what I have read last night is his language towards me, other issues which I need to make clear are as follows:
Britt Gudowski is not a Knife Maker, he told me himself on the phone at the time I was making my FB tribute knife project, he told me he lives in an apartment and he does not have a workshop to make knives and he doesn’t know how to. The fact that he has come across from the beginning and portrayed himself as a knife maker is deceitful enough but now insulting other long established makers is quite another.
He has in the past hinted to this industry ‘why are makers charging a large sum of money for the FB knife’ , maybe he was trying to brainwash people in to believing that makers are actually over charging the collector market so when he finally comes out with an FB knife costing a lot less somehow he will have proven his point.
I would like to go on the record and say to Britt Gudowski you have proven nothing, when I make a First Blood knife for a collector I have to cut the steel out, make a handmade hand ground blade, the guards are handmade, screw driver sections all hand machined in to the guard on my milling machine, the handles are machined from solid bars of stainless, the cap, I do all my heat-treating etc, everything on my First Blood FB knife is handmade including the sheath. Now let me ask you something, what part of your FB knife do you make yourself ? any ? you don’t even have a workshop, bottom line is ‘You are not a knife maker’ so why do you go around and say true knife makers are overcharging for their work ? you are person who have gone to cnc machine shops and had a bunch of handles, guards, blades made up and you sit in your apartment assembling these parts and you judge other true knife makers for charging for their talent ? you are truly a unique human being who have not spent the time learning a skill and you hate other makers for charging for their talent.
Also the issue you brought up with me ripping people off and you said EE, are you referring to Emerson ? there are a hand full of people out there who unfortunately have never held one of my T-1000 folders in their hands and they are in a fantasy land thinking it is anything like a cqc6, it is not, guess what it is my own design, on my T-1000 the blade is a completely different shape, the opener is totally different, the liners are completely different, I shape the micarta scales in my own way, the spacer is totally different, my knife has a serrated section on one side plate also on all my folders I use a four part pivot screw and the knife has a T1 high speed blade, but you go ahead and think what you like, I never cared about narrow minded people like you Britt.
I would like to say to all members on here my intention here was never to insult anyone in particular, just like to set the record straight, as far as Mr Britt Gudowski is concerned telling me on his blog last night to ‘shut the fu-k up’ , I will leave you all to your own thoughts and you will have to decide if you wish to do business with someone like that.
A copy of all I have read is below.
I like to thank all members for taking the time to read this long message and also thank you all for your support through some challenging times in the past.

This is a general reply to the 3 loser, Perry, John, Jan who have gone onto Blade Forum and have told out right lies about us.
I'll address a few other comments on here...
1. We don't need to "toot our own horn" at all, we don't rip people of in the "name of Lile" or in "honor of Lile" and our price proves it. So does the fact that we have out sold every other tribute maker out there....The fans speak for us.... We also don't price our knives for the wealthy only and then clam it's for the fans.. Everyone who makes Rambo knives, tribute or none tribute does.
There is a difference in stating a fact about what we do for our customers VS "tooting our horn"
But apparently there are a lot of dumb people on BF who need us to show them the distinction between the two.
2. We don't attack out customers either... If we did, they would know it, right?
We publicly attack dishonest people of low character who lie about us or who publicly bash us because their to shallow to come to us... Appearently you need to be told the difference in this too....
All of you who are commenting on these threads in a negative manner are totally stupid.
Absolute follows and unable to asses critical thinking skills.
You believe claims without any proof from those making it. In Philosophy this is called " Deficiency in judgment and thinking" also known for you simple folks as "simple minded"...
Farid,
you should just keep your nose out of our business, I was and have always been a good guy to you and even gave you some thing priceless and I didn't have to do that.... You're basically tribute knife maker yourself. You're also known for ripping off other peoples designs, you know who I am talking about too. EE, ring a bell?.... And I know you personally attack fans who advertise for you for free....The fact that your friends with a totally dishonest person name AW speaks volumes to many!!
So just shut the fuck up!
The simple fact that we need to school all you losers is just a fact that we're smarter than all of you, and we'll keep proving it....
Schools out!
And again, no one has proven us to be full of it.... But we have proved them all to be lairs!!!!!
