There is far too much discord amd 3rd party opinions in this thread. I'll unlock it once I get confirmation those knives are shipping. In the interim, if anyone has any new information that want posted, let me know and I'll reopen.

Bpiatt has reported that he has received notice from his credit card company, he has been refunded and made whole.
Thanks for the update.
 
Opening this thread up temporarily. Please don't post unless you are directly involved in the thread. Stay composed, and don't go off on a rant. I have no problem locking this down again and issuing infractions if needed. We want closure in a mature and productive way. Thanks in advance.

Update. Emailed Joe on Wednesday asking for a status and sent a pm asking the same on Friday. No response from either, still no tracking information. He responded last Sunday via his Iphone so I know that he can read emails and private messages. Rev, would you try and contact him?
 
10 days now since Joe's promise to make things right without one word from his end. That was a pretty cool story though Joe, wonder how long it took you to come up with all of that bs. My guess at this point is that the knife you posted a picture of was of an old one and not actually something that you made for me, I have not one reason at this time to believe you. This last 2+ months has been filled with lies and more lies from Joe, that is when he actually responds which is about once every 3 weeks or so. I want my refund yesterday Hargis.
 
Sorry to hear your still getting the run around Tiger. He should definitely atleast let you know what's going on and respond to your emails. I hope he comes through for you.
 
Thanks Ben but at this point it's not looking good. Tomorrow will be 14 days since his crap rant on here promising to make it right. I have not heard one peep from him since (remember because all he had left was part of my sheath lol). I'm sure he is hoping that I get fed up and write it off but I am going to be persistent and call the local authorities again. This guy is a total joke and should be banned from the site. He has another awesome comment on his profile page also from another satisfied customer. Glad you got your refund though Ben. That's one positive out of all of this ordeal.
 
First of all, I would like to apologize for my poor business practices. I have reasons but I know you don't want excuses so I am not going to bother. I assure you I am working to correct all of my issues. I will try and address everyone here in one post because I don't get on here much.

northernsurvivalist - I have never been paid $185 for a knife. I asked you who you were and never got a response. You say on this thread you sent me $185 dollars for a friend from the "shooting club". You get defensive when asked who this friend is (its all here on this thread) and I wonder why? I have however been paid $150 from John D. from new york (who I believe you are and for some reason don't want your identity known). I also never asked for the $150 upfront. I asked for $50 upfront and I have emails to prove it. I also have shipped your knife and it had been delivered Aug. 1st. USPS conformation number 0311 1660 0001 2721 8902. I also have the email where you stated you didn't know if you sent $185 or $155 which it was neither it was $150. I can put the emails on here if you like.

Ben Piatt - your knife was made in a timely manner before my health issues and shipped. It was lost by the post office. You initiated a chargeback through your credit card company. I told the Mod you received a refund because the money was taken from my paypal(plus a fee from your company). I have forwarded you and the Moderator the email from PayPal. I will post it on here if I need to. I don't know how long it takes for your company to charge it back but it has been done on my end.

tigertaylor - your knife will be on it's way in the next few days. It is done and the sheath halfway done. I am waiting on a little break in the record breaking oklahoma heat to go back down to the shop, but I will get it to you and I promise you will like it.

thehobiecat - wanted to order and exact copy of another guys knife. I told him I would make a "pretty darn close knife". I took a $40 deposit to cover cost of supplies. It did take me a few weeks to get the knife done during which he said he was only 50/50 on still getting it. I already had it mostly done. Then he said he would get a mini-muk. I offered to make him one but then he said he would just wait till the next batch and wanted his money back. He was very flighty on what he wanted. I went ahead and finished the knife and email him pics. When it wasn't exactly like the other he backed out of the deal.

MKP - (who wasn't on the list or involved in this thread but I am not trying to hide anything so lets go ahead and cover this one too) I have one of your knives ready and the other is just waiting on the sheath which will be done as soon as I get a small break in the heat. He paid upfront but of his own doing. he was only asked for a deposit.

Again I am sorry for the poor business. Some of you I havent got back with personally just because your emails are not quite as tame as your post on here and I haven't had the energy or time to deal. MKP, Ben Piatt, and tigertaylor are all great guys and I am sorry for having bad dealing with them on my end. I don't blame them for how mad they have been. thehobiecat I wouldn't recommend people doing customs for. And northernsurvivalist, I am not sure why you are hiding who you really are. I figure you are probably just wary of internet security with personal information. I can understand that, but your statements on this thread are not adding up to what really happened.
As for asking for full price upfront, I have only done this twice. I did it with Ben and tigertaylor because I needed cash to send my daughter to a camp. The rest that paid upfront were only asked for a deposit but chose instead to pay upfront.
Regarding the authorities, The were contacted by John D.(I believe northersurvivalist) and a couple others to press charges. They are nice to help in these situations but like I'm sure you were told, this is a civil issue not a criminal issue. File a civil claim if you have been wronged. threatening me with "pressing charges" just doesn't motivate me to help anyone. I am motivated solely by my want to make things right with people be it late or not.

14 days since Hargis posted this. Not one word from him since, can't say I'm surprised but figured I would update the thread anyway.
Joe I hope your daughter enjoyed her basketball camp on my dime, I'm sure you didn't mention to her that you ripped me off and tried to do it to others.
