I am in the midst of ordering from Jason. I will advise my experience after the deal is done. However, it sounds to me as if some of the bad press is deserved and some is simply those being picky or impatient. From everything that I have read and gathered it appears obvious that he offers very unique designs with excellent quality. That does not appear to be in question. What does appear to be in question is his time management being a small company that is very busy. Jason is young and he has his followers that are not going to be swayed by all of this negative press. What he needs to learn is that his followers are only going to buy so many knives and then he needs new customers to come on board. He appears to do a wonderful job servicing customers a, b and c but when d comes along he is just too busy and does not have the customer service skills nor the infrastructure in place to handle the immediate need for all, nor the follow up skilss required to recover from the scenario. Hopefully he will learn to do better, if not he will lose business in the future. However, deserved or not I think that jumping on the band wagon and trashing him like a lot of you out there do is uncalled for in the manner in which it is being done. It appears that there is a growing mob ready to hang some young guy for not returning phone calls or shipping product in a timely manner. Yes it is irritating and yes it is ok to complain. I just think that these things get out of control sometimes and all you have to do is stay away if this type of service bothers you. I am sure that there are some really bad situations that have transpired and those involved have every right to be vocal about it. My point is it does not do anyone any good to jump on the band wagon and to help rip someones reputation apart simply because they did not react as fast as you would have hoped. It is apparent that Jason has brought a lot of this upon himself but it is also apparent that some of us should read and not enter in simply to add fuel to the fire.
Again, I will let you all know what happens with my experience first hand with a folow up. I hope that I have not offended anyone especially those that have a legitimate gripe with Jason. I have not signaled anybody's thread out and do not intend to. Also my impressions are from several other threads along with this thread.
