Hello.

I am from Australia.

I have seen Kizlyar knives before and I am very impressed with what they are, so I bought some from the Australian distributor.

Word of warning: stay away from the Australian distributor, the knives, however, are generally good.

I was shipped the wrong knives. I was also shipped damaged knives. The knives were not in their original packaging. I was given false warranty cards.

When one of my knives was exchanged (wrong item delivered), at my front door, by Zobair Bary, claiming to be boss of Australian distribution, it was in the plastic still. He unwrapped it, defaced it, gave me the wrong sheath, and did not give me a warranty card. He sanded the leather handle of the knife, and defaced the incorrect sheath that he provided with the knife. He also placed the knife at my stomach for some bizarre reason. I just looked at him like the fool he is. After that, he jumped over my balcony and ran to his car.

On another note, when I was upstairs, getting the knife for exchange, returning downstairs I caught him in my house. He ran out the door quick as a flash.

My house keys went missing and have since turned up in the most obvious of places. I am missing property from my residence.

He refused to re-exchange the damaged goods for new ones, wrapped in plastic, sealed as is from the factory. He also told me to piss off over the phone and hung up on me when I again asked for faulty goods to be exchanged.

These knives can be found much cheaper elsewhere in Australia than going to the distributor. You also will get correct warranty cards, the right products and goods that are not defaced.

The knives are excellent from the factory. They are truly works of art. I have been banned from knifeforums.com for airing my grievances in the Kizlyar forum. I have a friend who has been banned also. Posts were altered, moderators publicly admitted deleting posts for fun, posts were removed and reinserted in different threads, things like that. When trying to discuss a knife from a practical standpoint, moderation, deletion and ridicule occurred, by a user claiming to work for the Kizlyar factory in the design process from the 'Australian design team' (a claim since retracted).

Here is a photo of the man Zobair Bary, who came to my front door.

so... is the order of operation, kick in nuts then set on fire? or set on fire then kick in nuts? :)

sorry to hear your problems with the distributor. i dont see how it makes sense to deface a knife that you are exchanging for a customer? thats just weird?

file a claim with their head office and see where you get?

cheers

also, there has been much discussion about the politics of that "other forum". needless to say, there are many people who have experienced the same thing, you'll find bladeforums a much nicer home :)
 
I'm not crazy, I'm MAD.

For Zobair Bary. When I find him it is going to be Mutually Assured Destruction for his testicles and business.

Just kidding. I wouldn't make threats. That's illegal.

So is torture and castration.
 
That sounds pretty crazy :confused:

So, what you going to buy from him next time ? :p

Pretty sure head office are Russian speakers.

Deface it so it might wear out earlier and I have to buy a new one? Deface it because he is angry I bought it? That might be possible considering he sent me the wrong, but almost exact knife the first time, of inferior quality to my original order.

I have legal dirt on him that could shut him down. But I don't want to get the law involved.

I have also heard rumours around that this Arab bastard conned a recently returned person from Iraq out of a large sum of cash for a 'share in the company', delivered him no stock, and squandered that money away. That might not be true though.
 
The story is pretty weird and akward. I don't understand why you let this guy treat you like this. In my opinion, you should have called the police when you saw him inside your house without your permission. And why don't you want the law to be involved if it's on your side?
 
So, Bary came to your house twice and ran away each time, once out the door, the other time he went over the balcony?

Wild crazy stuff!
 
I have recently come across other information unrelated to my incident that can get him in legal trouble.

The law doesn't castrate and torture. They are no help to me.

No he came once. First time he was in the house when I was upstairs, ran out the door when I came downstairs. When I went to the door he showed me the knife, unwrapped it, swapped sheaths and started defacing, then put it at my stomach.

I was bewildered and just looked at him like he was some kind of fool.

Then he jumped over the balcony and ran away.

Then I noticed my keys were missing. Then later they turned up in the most obvious place. Now stuff is missing from my house.

I wonder how big his balls are, they must be huge. Will look nice with a bit of taxidermy mounted to the wall.
 
i think you should report him to the police. You didnt allow him to enter your home and things were missing. That makes him a possible burglary suspect and at least a tresspassing. If that doesnt stand in australian court then you could always make a law suit against him for the price of the knife plus a little bit more. He would probably settle out.
 
If there are some internet savvy people who can get me either a residential or business address that is all I need.

He doesn't provide that on his website and he is not publicly listed.

I'm not really going to hurt him. Aussies are docile. I just want a chat. A bit hard when he hangs up the phone and tells me to piss off.

Face to face it is!

The person claiming to be the 'Australian design contributor for Kizlyar' offered to meet face to face. I agreed and got banned from knifeforums.com .

Any internet savvy people out there?
 
Have you friend call him and set up an appointment to purchase a knife. When he shows up you can have a word with him.
