Hi again tknife. It came to the point where I knew that calling him was just a further waste of my money. He would come up with some BS excuse about his mother, or himself. When Tactical Knives first came out, they ran a picture of Crain's knife, so I sent a package containing all the information I had on my order to Steven Dick, who a couple of issues later featured it (without names, of course) as his editorial. He pretty well made it clear that I was at fault, and that "the maker" was pretty well at "God" level, and had to be telling the truth. It took a few more issues, but wouldn't you know it, he had received at least one more complaint about Crain, and he was willing to concede that maybe there was some truth to my story. Proud to say I haven't bought another issue of Tactical Knives since that first editorial, but I sure enjoy reading it in the store.
