Definitely. IMO, would just be a lot easier if the sellers would forego using the vague term and instead stating exactly what they've done with the knife.

Did I ever say here or there that he was scamming someone? No. K&M did, however, disassemble a knife without disclosing that fact, and I almost purchased it until I noticed screws missing. It then snowballed from there. No need for you to get involved mate!
I try not to list any knives as LNIB. Maybe handled but unused or something like that, followed by an over descriptive wall of text which I am bad for. I would also like to know in what capacity he is a law enforcement officer at the age of 18. When I went through BLET there wasn't anyone younger than 21.

You do realize that this started because I noticed missing screws in a knife that I was going to buy? I had every right to point that out. I wouldn't call that opening a can of worms, but it did escalate from there.
This. And if he's lying about it, this speaks towards his character and his claims to have great ethics.
My point. Please stop. He has moved on and I recommend everyone do the same.
I have no idea. He said he was in law enforcement. I don't know the guy, so I don't know what he is referring to whether game warden, police office, or student of criminal law. No idea nor do I care to know. He has 100% feedback and who knows what he does for a living or his age, but I think we need to move on. I am moving on and I recommend everyone else do the same.

I doubt he has moved on. Now it looks like he's avoiding the elephant in the room. You're welcome to move on.
I don't know the guy either. And yeah, maybe he has 100% feedback right now, but we've seen scammers here start with perfect feedback, then go on to bilk folks for thousands of dollars later on, so that feedback on a new member is somewhat meaningless IMO.
Also, his profile shows that he's 18 years old (Born Nov. 7, 1999), and once this all escalated, he began claiming to be in law enforcement. I highly doubt both are true, and someone should not claim something such as that if it's not true.
Training to be a LEO or lawyer is not being "in law enforcement". 
I just named examples. I have no idea. I am an accountant. Dude you really need to stop. You are just making your self look bad. Peace!I doubt he has moved on. Now it looks like he's avoiding the elephant in the room. You're welcome to move on.

And I'm an aerospace engineer, but that has zero bearing here. I'll stop once I'm satisfied that this has been run to ground, thank you very much. I've been here since the beginning, and I actually care about this community, so I'm fairly confident that what I am doing here doesn't look bad to those that matter here. Thanks for your concern though.
Everyone member on Bladeforums matters here. They are all important as they help Bladeforums and the health of the knife community. I have been an avid outdoorsman from the beginning so I care just as much. That comment of yours shows ignorance. The only thing you are achieving is discrediting yourself.

The difference is that when you take the scales off more often then not you just voided the warranty. Carrying it or cutting with it still keeps the warranty intact.
I'd like to note that in this situation you'd be better off just saying the condition of the knife (e.g. "never used but I removed the scale and adjusted the pivot") instead of saying something like LNIB. As others have said, any sort of disassembling often voids the warranty which affects the value. This is not reddit so you aren't required to grade the knife on a scale, but you do have to accurately describe the knife.
Um, yes he did. 99.9% of the members here will agree that disassembly of a knife should be disclosed in a sale. @Knives&More was very much in the wrong for not disclosing that fact. Then, when brought to his attention he got pissy. Not a good way to act here.
I'll also add that it would be good for you to take note of this situation so you don't end up in the same boat. You've been here 5 minutes and you are telling people to move on with an issue that is actually quite serious. Not a great start.
