DANTHEMAN123 Ripping off Neil at TNK

[SpyderJon]

Personally I think he's a scam artist. Look, all you did was follow the MO of every con artist I've ever seen: make insinuations that are "just" true enough to allow you to back out if you get nailed for your behavior. You ALSO hide behind that crap about "its not illegal, so there!" You know what, there's are a lot of things that aren't illegal, and that doesn't make them right.

Of course, looking at your posts, your history among different forums, I'm not sure whether you're a scammer, just plain stupid, or just were born without ANY modicum of social grace. Whatever the case, I'm disturbed that you have knives.

DANTHEMAN123, I find it hard to believe that you didn't notice the True North Knives watermark. It stands out like a sore thumb.

Hell, it isn't even a watermark- it is a big ass, high contrast logo!

Damn straight.

I've just read over all the excuses DANTHEMAN123 posted in this thread, and my legal advisors say although the Supreme Court forbids executing the mentally retarded that only applies to lethal injection, electrocution, and hanging. The Supreme Court has said nothing about making them walk the plank.

Just in case those pictures aren't there tomorrow and anyone wonders how visible the copyright notice was:

Even more visible in the majority of the shots, like so

he basically stole all the sebenza pics from the one site, and I assume the descriptions, in some kind of misguided get rich quick with no brain scheme. I think he has failed.

we were thn disscussing cold steel. i mentioned push blades, general asked me not to do so, so i said in my next post something like "ok no more talk of push blades, i heard those knives( i meant cs knives in the video (as that was the thread subect-th cs video) only cut because of the force applied not how sharp or stong they are"

this was taken as me carrying on talking about push blades ie knive which use force no sharpnesss- i meant all cs knives-not push blades

i was banned for a week.

BS, Dan. You were told quite clearly by an admin that as push daggers are illegal (to carry, make, sell, buy etc.) in the UK, so they are not discussed on British Blades at all. A couple of posts later on, and we get...

and my point is that the video isnt a stupid as some people think. and that push daggers are stupid. but i read somewhere maybe here, that those knives are capable of the cutting they do more cos of the force thats applied not how shapr they are.

Which is continuing to discuss push daggers after being told not to by an admin. Not bright, really.

As for the business with the Paramilitary, had you made your insulting offer to the seller in a PM - per the rules - you wouldn't have been slam-dunked. But to try and pretend that the way you phrased it was anything other than bloody offensive is specious.

Then you tried re-registering under various usernames. All of which have been removed.

You're a liar, or you're talking out of your arse. Take your pick.

He did not inform prospective customers that he didn't have the knives he was selling.

That isn't a very honest practice, but many many stores on the internet operate that way and very few mention it. I've ordered so much stuff just to be notified by e-mail after buying, uh oh it might take uh like uh 4-6 weeks to get that. Especially on popular or limited items where stores sell more than they have just in hopes of getting a few more or that they won't have to keep items in stock.

i needed pictures of the knives as i dont have a camera


but to be honest i prefer using my own pics over th glossy ones that comapines use.

Doesn't have a camera,but to be honest,prefers using his own pics.

why isn't this guy swimmin wit da fishes?

 

[GigOne]

why isn't this guy swimmin wit da fishes?

He is. Under his moniker. . . .it reads . . . . ."Banned by Moderators."




And he didn't get a chance to explain why he plagiarized the "Descriptions" that he was using.

Bye Bye, Danny Boy...

DANTHEMAN123

but apart rom using neils pictures i aint a thief thanks very much.

In case some of you missed it, here is an excerpt of text (all identical) from one of the 8 eBay auctions, (offering over 30 of my knives) that were pulled by eBay or him, I don't know.

THIS SEBENZA HAS NEVER BEEN TOUCHED, USED, OPENED ETC IT IS BRAND NEW , FRESH FROM CHRIS REEVE.I HAVE ALL OF THE DESIGNS IN STOCK

-----------------------------------------------------------

So my thanks to all who saw this the way I did.

DaveH- again, I appreciate you watching my back like this- if not for your heads up, I would never have known.

Best regards to all and hope to see some of you in Atlanta next week.

Sincerely,

Neil

Eye Mate...
Walk the plank or pay Neil 2000.00 for the 20 pics your hijacked!
Thats just a start!

DANTHEMAN123's adventures at British Blades don't really concern us here, but other forums might want to keep an eye out for him. After being kicked out of British Blades and then walking the plank here, he evidently intends to move on to another knife forum. He is currently trying to register at a forum that I don't think is going to welcome him (they're aware of this thread).

It might not be entirely clear to people who are coming to this thread now after the auctions have ended, but the whole thrust of his sales pitch was you should buy from me because I'm the only one in the UK who has CRK knives, therefore it's worth paying the large premium I'm charging over what the North American web dealers charge. The whole pitch was dishonest from beginning to end.

 

[DaveH]

Thanks for everyones help on this. I'm going to lock this as it looks like this particular issue is over.

 

[Cougar Allen]

Just to clarify that, as a Platinum member DaveH can close threads that he started. He started this one so he can close it. That doesn't interfere with anyone's freedom of speech since they could continue the discussion in a new thread -- if anyone thinks there's any point in continuing.
