Hey I have just been reading a thread on another forum about Dale Chudzinski and the problems with all the people who have ordered knives from him.
I have always admired Mr Chudzinski's work in Backwoodsman and Tactical knives magazines, I can't believe he now has these problems !
I hope these problems are soon resolved for all concerned both buyers and maker !!!!

It just shows that hard times can happen to the best of us eh !!!!!:eek:
 
It's a sad reality, but some very gifted makers may not be the best businessmen. His demand may have grown too fast and overwhelmed him.
 
Bad stuff can happen the the very best of us when you accept a deposit up front. There was a good thread in the knifemakers section about taking deposits that even Bob Dozier and A.G. Russel spoke on.

Well, I too was one that lost $$ with Dale Chudzinski. He was a pleasure to work with, great communication and assistance. He informed me that he was having some significant family issues...very understandable, and after three years, no word in the last year and a half, still no knife. Sure, I'm upset losing my money, no knife...but I truly hope he gets back on his feet and his family recovers from thier situation. I really want him to reconcile and get back into making such great looking and, from what I've heard, great performing knives.

Hey Guys...

Unfortunately this has happened with quite a few makers...

One of the most notorious for this was Alan Blade...

Incredibly gifted knife maker..I have two of his Patrol Bowies and the are Very well made knives,,near as perfect as any knife I've seen from big makers...

He's just shitty at business,,simple as that...
