I don't mean to be an old cranky guy here, but I guess I am! I'm one of the original members of this forum, (no big deal), but I've noticed a trend that I don't care for. That is, (and I have sold, dozens and dozens of knives since these forums began), I wouldn't THINK of sending a knife to a buyer without AT LEAST wiping it down, (inside and out), and I ALWAYS give all the knives I send out, a hand polish. Since 1998, I have only received ONE minor complaint about sending out a knife, where the buyer stated; "It had some lint in it but I LIKE it a lot!". I knew better because I had POLISHED the knife, inside and out, before I sent it.

I am constantly amazed at how some knives are sent to me! Fingerprints everywhere and dust caked inside like you wouldn't believe! I know we knife lovers sell and trade things before we have a chance to REALLY check them out but a wiping off, (or a polishing), AIN'T THAT HARD! Thanks for listening.
 
Gene,

I'll bet that whoever you got that dirty knife from just thought that by you taking the time to clean that knife, that you would have a chance to "bond" with it.:D.:rolleyes:.:D.
 
Thanks for the comments gents. Dann, you're one of the "good guys" and yes Keith, he is an eternal optimist! Dann and I have done business in the past and his knife arrived CLEAN! :)

Love it Dave! Flitz is like my right hand. I go through so much of the stuff that I had to get a couple of those huge 5.29oz. tubes! By the way, Dave ALSO is a "clean dude"!

Oh yeah Dave and Dann, I STILL have the A1 and the Jones Bros. necker! ;)
 
I always make sure the item is it top condition.

For instance I just traded a watch here on BFC and before it got shipped I had it cleaned and the seals checked by a watchmaker. When I trade a knife it gets a wash with mild soap and water and a super soft baby toothbrush, a little polish with flitch and tuff-glided and lightly lubed before sent out. Common Courtesy is so out of fashion these days it makes me sick.:barf:
