When the **** hits the fan it really hits.
The truth and the whole truth:
I returned home from France this whensday. The Strider GB was indeed there. I brought it home and oiled it up. Next day I was starting to get soma trades underway because I was on the lookout for a fixed-blade.
I have done/tried to do some trades here. Most od them has went very bad do to either wrong labeling or simply bad luck. Most of the time it was because of problems with the postal-system. I even lost a very important shipment that I am going to claim warrenty for tomorrow. Now why would I tell the lie? Because I wanted to give it some time; I have once done a trade with Rick Milear of this Forum. The trade went bad and his knife was returned. After a while it seemed that the knife was lost. I asked for more time and got it. After a while we agreed that I should buy him a new knife then suddenly the knife turned up. This was all do to a slow mail-service. I simply hoped that this would be the case here. Oh really why would you then start all those tradeoffers? Well simply because I have Striders on my brain; I see Strider, I breathe Strider everything is Strider.
The biggest problem when you are trading with me is the Danish customs; It is nearly impossible to knives in and out of the country. I cant even begin to count how many knives I have lost that way.
Now that was enough bullshit, here is what I am going to do about it:
- I am apparently no longer worthy of your trust, so I am going to take a break from the knife collecting world(Many of you will see this as a good thing).
- I will contact Mr. Jens Ansø here in Denmark and let him take over the handeling of the knife/knives. He is a trusted member among your ranks and I am sure that he will help the forumites that has been treated unjust. This will also be done because I have been presented with a timeframe that I cant work with. So therefore any request for more time will be seen as an way to sneak away.
- The persons that will have their knives returned are: Greg Covington, Bobby B, Dave Iverson and Daniel.
- I am formally breaking of any deals that I might have made (It is just to much hazzle to go through with them).
After this is all over I hope that I can return among your ranks some day. I am thankfull towards this society and all it has contributed to. And finally I am shamefull that I let things get out of hand.
NB. If there are any questions just drop me a line. I will make updates every day so everybody can keep track of their belongings.
