Exiled Cutlery. FU42

[Morgan110]

I know there are a lot of people who will never agree or like JB. I'd like to offer up my experiences with him. I sent him a polite email about his products and when he replied, he was very polite. In fact, when I ordered a $125 dollar knife, from him, he dropped the price to $85 without me asking. He also is sending me an extra blade because i didn't like the original. That's not all; when I saw that later his website was out of stock in the knife I wanted I asked when it'd be back. He said he already had set one aside for me. This was, by far, the best customer service I've ever experienced.

The knife wont compete with a BM42... but It's (for me at least) 1/5 the cost. With several online reviews calling it a good knife for the money, seems like a no brainer for a poor college student beginner flipper like myself.

I'm sorry, what is a JB? Besides Jailbait or JustBetter brand refrigeration equipment.

It's also an anagram of BJ. In any case, the FU42 is a slightly modified version of another BM42 knockoff which costs about half of what you paid for it. Also, Bradley Kimuras go for slightly more than what you paid for your FU42, and Kershawguy here at Bladeforums is selling Kimura blems for $59(including shipping). Just saying. You could've done a lot better.

Seriously. These are just the tip of the iceburg.

I hope you realize you could have also gotten that same knife with out his logo on it for about 20 bucks on other sites

 

[Morgan110]

I've done literally hours of research and I feel like my money was well spent.

 

[PigmonkeY]

It's in the Bradley kimura price range. I've seen enough well illustrated bad press to steer away, personally, but I am glad you're enjoying yours.

No one posting there neither owned an FU42 nor handled one.

Please read the first link. Several people bought handled and assessed the FU42 to be nothing more than a sows ear made into a sows rear.
Nothing but a cheap china balisong that you can buy for far less elsewhere.

+1 on that

 

[Morgan110]

Despite whether or not it was worth the money, I received excellent customer service beyond what I would have expected after reading the forums.

 

[brady.kevin07]

Congratulations. Let us know us know in about two months when that ccc balisong breaks

 

[Morgan110]

Actually, not one person posting on the first link had handled one. I did read it.

 

[Kyui Su Kim]

New user with 7 of 11 posts in here praising a fraud. Seems mighty suspect.

The knife you got is a blatent copy of the BM42 and shamelessly relabeled from what was more than likely a CCC. You could have picked up a Kimura or a Bear balisong with money to leftover for what you paid.

you have a lot to learn. Stick around and read as many threads as you can and you'll soon find out what we are talking.

I've owned a bear, didn't care for the pins. The purpose of this post was to share my personal experience with JB, not the knife itself.

 

[ThievesLikeUs]

You know how it is when you make a big mistake and know it...you go out of your way to convince yourself that you made a great choice/decision, not matter how much proof there is otherwise.

And folks are here trying to share what is well known on the forum about him. You may have lucked out or just caught him on a good day. Follow Karda's 2nd link, down to post #8 and you can find plenty of reasons to avoid business with this fella.
