No, you didn't.
Please return this knife and the other 6 you got in the passaround to Henk (KnifeCollector031 The Netherlands), the rightful owner.
This SOG is very special to him and the We knives has a substantial value.
You sent back a package of used batteries...enough said.
The whole case:
Interesting....try to trade MY SOG T
Darrex (or Dario) you did not return the knife to me till this very evening. In stead you send a box full of old batteries.

Who ever opened this post should change the title to reflect the douchiness and tomf*ckery going on here
It wasn't too terribly long ago, that Darrex, was involved in another very questionable GBU thread, due to IMO, his dishonorable actions:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/use-caution-when-dealing-with-darrex.1400788/
I just watched the YouTube video; very compelling. It should be very interesting, to read what Darrex has to say.

I just watched the YouTube video; very compelling. It should be very interesting, to read what Darrex has to say.
Because this involves me, let me explain the situation.
Darrex joined a Passaround being a member of the European Passaround group on Facebook. This groups is established by me to provide knives to European Youtube reviewers for reviewing and/or testing purposes on video.
This particular Passaround contained the following knives, all new in box: From WE Knife the models 620, 702, 703, 704, 705 & 707. With them also a SOG Tomcat 3.0.
When Darrex received the knives the problems began. He did not communicate about finishing the video's, about sending them to the next reviewer and so on. Then i received an e-mail from WE Knife. He had contaccted WE Knife with a proposal to keep the knives for a big discount because the knnives were in used condition. So he passes me. But WE Knife told hom to contact me.
So i contacted him. Then he did the same offering. Keep the knives for a small amount of money because the knives were in used condition. And he had no money to send the knives back because shipping internationally from Italy to another country was expensive. I told him to send back the knives and i would pay for shipping. Then he send me a picture of some WE Knife boxes in a shippingbox. But i did not see the SOG box betweenn them. When i asked him about the SOG he told me that there was never a SOG in the box. When i told him he posted a picture of the SOG on his Instagram he told me he had some family problems. He would ask his brother Maybe he took the SOG. But in the mean time he had offered the same SOG here on Bladeforums for a trade. After a couple of days he told me he found the SOG but the box was missing.So i asked him politely to send the knives. This because he treathened not sending the knives because another member of the Passaround group named & shamed him in the group because of his behaviour. I told him again that i wuld pay for the shipment when the knives arrived. After a couple of days he send me a picture of a box ready to ship.
About ten days later the box arrived at the next reviewer. It was filled with batteries. So he contacted Darrex and Darrex immediately blamed the Italian postal services. But the weight on the box was exactly the weight of the box filled with batteries. And this weight was by far not enough to cover the weight of the knives involved. And then i found out he already offered the SOG for a trade.
Last night he offered to settle. He was willing to pay me 700,- for those knives. This was the insurance value for the box he shipped, he told he wanted to claim. So he also tries to rip off the postal services.
So now it depends on him. I want my knives, worth in Europe over 1600,-, back.

WOW! The title of this thread does not seem to indicate how bad this guy is. 
I would not have even bothered to read it except that it is 2:30 AM and I'm kind of bored. 
Would love to hear his explanation of the WHOLE series of events and communications.

Let me defend myself for what I can. Unfortunately in Italy the postal service is not excellent. There has also been a TV show, LE IENE, which has shown that there are thefts in postal exchanges.
From the pictures below, you can see that there are 2 cuts in the Jorg pack, and in the other photo there are 2 white stickers of the postal service that indicate that the transparent label containing the documents was moved and then reattached. Also because I was a little afraid of these rumors I had asked to keep the knives, paying them.
The answer at the post on bladeforum was a mistake, because having found the knife in a drawer, no box, I thought it was something I had taken my brother.
In fact, I do not understand why this negative publicity to me, when it is the first time that I happen to do so, without even having been warned before these defamations, without any evidence. Here, as in other parts of the world, I have never had any problems, and purchases and exchanges have always gone smoothly. Also, I've been here for years and I have never had any negative feedback. The parcel, however, was secured and I opened a postal claim to recover the value.
In my home, this is called a web defamation, and on Monday I will file a complaint for anyone who write or wrote something without first being sure.
Also, even if they acted without even contacting me, I tried to fix it, using the insurance I had put in the parcel, but they kept insulting me without certain evidence, but only suppositions.

This problem child is already on my ignore list for previous contemptible behavior.
Please change the Title of this Thread to- Darrex is a Thief...... To more accurately reflect his behavior.

The weight on the package, printed on the label was 1378 gram. Exactly the amount the box weighted when arrived. The amount for the 7 knives should be over 1500 gram. So the box was delivered on the postal office with the batteries already in it.
Further more i reached out several times. And all you could say was never an excuse or sorry or what else. Only offensive. And your proposal to claim the insurance is just a act of crime because you never shipped the knives. And then you first denied the SOG was inluded in the package when it arrived at your place. So lot of controversial facts on your side.
You even tried to pass me by sending a message to WE KNIFE to convince them to let you keep the knives. Not knowing these are my knives. All kinds of excuses. All controversial and all contradictoray. One time you tell this, the other time to another person you tell something completely ifferent.
And when you are aware of having problems with postal services, why did you join the passaround? Why for heave sake!?

Hate to see the post and I hope it works out for those that lost out. And have to say the video should give anyone with a shread of self respect a reason to reflect and make it right ... people put faith in you ... now it's time to fix the issue Dario ... and maybe gain back a bit of what you lost by being a man and taking responsibility ...
these people may have lost money but they can look in the mirror ... can you?
