Before I get started I wanted to let everyone know this trade that occurred was almost entirely done on instagram, with the exception of one message on the green forum. I felt compelled to atleast let people know about Chad Eckhart and what he is about.
I had put a MINT Chaves 228 midtech up for trade on instagram and was non stopped messaged by Chad about trading for it and that he couldn't buy it. I commented about a Medford 187 on his feed and when I asked what the condition was or if there were any issues to speak of.... he told me it was "brand new" . when received, the 187 had rust on the blade, scratched and dinged up pivots and scratches on the blade from use and/or handling. All of this could have been put out there from the get go but it was not. Immediately after receiving it I text him explaining my issue and asking him to please return my knife and ill return his. He simply tells me to not return his knife and that he is keeping the 228. He tells me that a little steel wool will get the rust out and that its "like new" and as advertised. I couldn't believe it when he told me to clean the rust off myself. after asking many times he still refuses to make it right. He is a liar and I thought I would let everyone know. Ill keep the private communication from us unless he decides that he want's to refute anything I've said..... in that case ill spare no details and post screen shots of EVERYTHING.
his Instagram handle is BUCKFEVER4LIFE and he is also a moderator for the tuffknives sub forum on the green forum. I felt the need to post here because he needs to be held accountable in some form or fashion.
I do not know his username on this forum, but if anyone does it would be greatly appreciated.
