I want to warn anyone out here who is contemplating buying a knife from p.d.q. blade that even though he supposedly has good feedback to beware of him.
I saw a beautiful Santa Fe Stoneworks Spyderco Police that he had on auction He had it up as a buy it now or place a bid for it. The buy it now could only be done by paypal and since I had canceled my paypal account (because of Ebays stance on the sale of firearm parts) I had to place a bid and wait for the end of the auction. I won the item and within an hour after the close of the auction sent the seller an Email asking for his Mailing address so I could send him a Postal Money Order (since he wanted payment within 7 days of the auctions close). He never responded and over the course of the next 3 days I sent a total of 4 Emails to him (which I still have copies of). On the 4th day (today) I wrote and told him that since he has not responded to my requests that I felt I can't trust that he would send my knife in a timely manner and, that I was going to leave negative feedback, which I did in an honest manner by only stating the facts. Within an hour of my feedback he wrote to say he never got any Emails and that I was a liar. He also called me a Liar and a Punk on the feedback rebuttal

After reading his rebuttal I wrote to tell him that in my opinions he could have taken a different approach by double checking his Emails instead of accusing me of being a liar who just didn't want to pay for an item I had bid on. I told him that had little if any honor and that I would l be sure to alert everyone I can about the manner in which he conducts his business.

Even though I really wanted that knife, I won't buy from someone who blames his own mistakes on the buyer who honestly tries to conduct business in a decent manner.

I had a run-in with him once as well. I eventually got my knife but had to deal with a whole lot of nonsense over the course of a month to reach that point. He kept emailing me warnings of non-payment with none too vague threats included and I had to in turn use PayPal to put the screws to him. All that for a $17 knife! Not worth it by a long shot.
