The dude has 95 positive transactions, zero negative, and shipped his part of the trade.
Correct?

The point is, why would he disassemble something to mess with it if it wasn’t his to begin with? If you fail to see the issues this could have created, well, I don’t think there’s much use in trying to explain such a simple concept.

Exactly! And nice time to display a lack of integrity! In the middle of a trade that requires a lot of trust on both ends!

Hopefully this was a momentary lapse in judgement, but with bladerunner7's subsequent posts and attitude, it's not looking that way.
 
I see a dude that self identifies as a Knifemaker here, with an impeccable feedback record, that got a little frustrated that the knife he was sent didn't work properly, sought out help, maybe vented a little inappropriately, but fixed the problem and followed through on the deal.

You mean the "dude" who disassembled and voided the warranty on OP's knife and thought it was ok as long as Microtech didn't find out, etc.? That "dude?"

Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here-- sometimes there's a man who, well, he's the man for his time'n place, he fits right in there--
sometimes there's a man. . . sometimes there's a man.
Well, I lost m'train of thought here. But--aw hell, I done innerduced him enough.

I'm going bowling.

The issue here is that the knife was fine, it functioned as intended. As explained to bladerunner7 he is using muscles in his thumb that he would normally not use and it may take a couple days to get used to it. He also had no comms with me whatsoever after he received it inquiring to the "stiffness". I would have explained to him exactly what has been said already and if he was not satisfied I would have 0 issues reversing the trade.

???????????????
 
Also, if he thought there was a problem with the knife, he should have contacted the OP . If the resolution was to return the knife, it should have been returned in the condition sent.
 
I see part of why people, @Pima Pants & Coyja Coyja , defend @Blade Runner 7 I can understand reaching out and trying to solve a problem with a trade before completely negating a trade. The issue is you should never void a warranty before completing the trade at the time you void it there should be no question if you are keeping it this is where he goes wrong. He also presented a vary poor attitude when people were surprised and appalled but such action with a disregard for the other trade party. I also find a complaint about a stiff MT a laughable thing as MT are notoriously stiffer than their competitors. Could this one have needed maintenance sure but the degree to which simple maintenance would impact is not as drastic as he implies.
 
This is also a big “tell” when it comes to the knives he allegedly makes. Why would I buy from a person who will admittedly deceive a fellow member? Why would that not lead me to believe he plays this crap on any and everyone he can? What if he screwed up my knife under the scale on the handle section, or didn’t get the HT right? He’d probably think, “Oh well, I’ll still sell it for full price. They’ll never “see” it anyway.”

It also allowed a few truly horrible people to come out of the woodworks in support of this “dude.” They are all straight up trashy for that.

These are the types of people that come in to your job with a deliberately broken item, then look at you with a blank angry stare when you deny them a refund... :rolleyes:
 
Yikes, I had been considering this guy for if I ever needed anodizing... What a complete lack of integrity and professionalism. I truly hope your end of the trade is satisfying.

Trade horror stories like this are quite discouraging, I hope the PENALTY :D for a failed trade are harsh. It's almost like some horrible people manage to hide their true colors until they've gotten a bit of feedback in their favor, then they use that to pull stunts like this.

Most people here are very forgiving when someone owns up to a mistake. I haven't seen that yet in this case.
 
Yeah, I'm not getting this. You shipped December 24th on a trade and still haven't received the item you traded for almost 2 weeks later??? I can ship USPS Flat Rate box to CA from Atlanta in 2 days......I would be crazed at this point regardless of someones feedback score. Another reason I can't bring myself to trade anymore.

I would think that level of membership comes with an implied responsibility to behave well with others. At what point is that level of membership revoked for lack thereof?
