I have a Haebbie story that I feel I have to share with you all. Bear with me on this one because it's going to have shades of deja vue (a la Maverick), but this one has a much different ending. About a year ago, I was attempting to locate a Buck LE (and that's how I ended up finding this forum by the way). After searching for about a month on the internet, the only one I could find was though the internet in a knife store in Germany. I contacted the dealer and he requested a wire transfer of funds (around $300 total) to ship the knife. I knew this was a risky deal at best, but I really wanted that knife so I elected to take a chance. Following payment, the dealer contacted me and informed me the knife was no longer available from his supplier. I repeatedly requested that he return payment, but received numerous excuses on his part so I pretty much wrote this off as a lesson learned. I continued to "lurk" around this forum for a period of time, and noted what a close group most of you were and how many of you went out of your way to assist what you all termed "Buck Brothers." I eventually posted a few responses and voiced that respect, although several forumites took exception to that for fear I might have ulterior motives (but I digress). In any case, several months ago, I contacted Haebbie and explained this whole situtation to him. I did not expect any results, but I at least wanted someone else in Germany to know this guy was a crook. Well, Haebbie took control of things and within about three weeks my payment was returned. Don't know what or how you did that Haebbie, but thank you. So my point to all this is that I have had personal communication with Decaffe over the past few weeks, and he has expressed some concern over the present state of the effort to bring Haebbie to Post Falls. I was about ready to send Dave a check on my part when I decided to send him a duplicate Yellowhorse 532 to list on ebay instead with all proceeds going toward that fund. Haebbie's response on my behalf is a great example (to me at least) of what the Buck Brotherhood is all about, and I hope and urge all of you to support Dave's effort to whatever degree you can. Incidentally, one of you subsequently located that Buck knife for me right here in the good old USA. God bless you Buck Bros!!
