Jack USED to be a knife Dealer But he is not any more. The incident that triggered this thread has seen to that................Ira
 
What I’ve learned is;
The older I get the less I listen to what people say and just watch what they do.

People who are tough never have to tell you that they are. It’s the same with people who are honest.

When you’re throwing your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by someone else.

Lettin’ the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back in.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

Jax, has dug himself a hole, if he’s smart enough to stop digging remains to be seen.
Is he a Dealer? There’s no doubt in my mind about what he is. It don’t matter much to me because I’ll never deal with him, and only Spark has to determined if he’s owed anything here.
Should Jax be Banned? I’ve already banned him by putting him on my Ignore List, you’d be surprised how effective doing that is.
Is it our job to protect Newbies from dealing with Jax? I think there has been enough written about Jax on this forum that anyone who takes the time to do a search on him will be able to make their own decision.
 
PhilL, I think you nailed this perfectly. There has been so much posted about Jaxurman that if anyone takes the time to read the feedback about him that they will have no trouble deciding whether to deal with him or not.

Is there any reason to continue this public flogging? Only if some people want to extract another pound of flesh. The ball is in Sparks court now, he is the only one that can decide Jack's future on BladeForums. I think he probably has all the information he needs to make that decision and anything more added here would just be an attempt to pile more shyte on Jack.

Jack, you have no one to blame but yourself for what is happening here. See what happens when you don't play nice?
 
Phil, Keith,

I think that you both have expressed my on feelings about this matter and the current state of things quite eloquently. Anything further would seem more like abuse than correction. Let's move on to more positive matters.
 
I think there is sometimes a fine line between dealer and collector/hobbiest. Melton relayed a good story earlier about find an awesome deal on knives that he used to sale to further his collection. To me, that doesn't make him a dealer. If a collector buys some knives, and they appreciate in value, and are later sold/traded to further other hobby interests, does that make him a dealer? Same as we have seen threads posting in general about the "deal of the cenutry" some folks have come across when buying knives at pawn shops, thrift stores, garage sales, etc... I was walking around a gun/knife show about a year or so back. Found a fairly unknown maker that was making very nice and high quality folders. He had 2 of one particular model laying on his table that caught my eye. While I was looking one of them over, he told me he was no longer making that model, and he wanted to get rid of the last 2 pieces that day at the show. He offered me my pick of knife for $100, a knife that was selling through a well know internet dealer for $400. A couple of weeks later, there was another knife coming out that I wanted much worse then this one for $225. So I turned and sold the knife for $225 to buy the other blade. I don't see that is being a dealer, I see that as being a smart collector. If selling a knife that appreciates in value for more money they paid for it(especially on the secondary market) then all the Ususal Suspects and Biohazard nuts would be paying dealer memberships here.

Jerremy, this sounds like a good topic for another thread. I am not sure what forum it should be on, but I am sure that we would get lot's of opinions on what people would consider constitutes being a dealer.
 
Truthfully I have no opinion on this either way, but I have personally seen Jack behind his dealer table at many, many shows, but it has been a few years. He makes me laugh actually.
 
Game, set and match - an eye witness!

I suppose that the pro-Jax lobby will now argue that they demand proof that the man is still a dealer.
Then a long drawn out descussion on when is a dealer no longer a dealer.
What a Joke.
