Sorry for your loss and your experience with Earl Blackmore (Hellfire Forge). For everyone's reference, here is the knife the OP speaks of...

Dear Earl,
My name is Bjorn and I am a professional portrait sculptor working for Hollywood industry as a free lancer based in Sweden. You can check out by
Working with celebrities and clients all over the world.

I am very familiar with your great work, you are a very talented blacksmith indeed. But I have this issue regarding my friends order from you. You see, Hakan Gustafsson ordered a replica of Crocodile Dundee’s knife years ago and he has not got anything from you yet, neither a refund??????

And from what I understand you are not responding to his emails or messages anymore.

I find this very unprofessional and cruel behavior.
I have a lot of contacts and friends in the US, and one that is very close to you as a matter of fact. If nothing happens soon, my US friend will probably pay you a visit soon to see whats going on.

This is not a threat or a ultimatum as I am also an artist and know things can happen and go wrong. But it’s better to be honest and have a communication with your client instead of avoiding them.
He just wants his knife or his money back that’s all.
With my highest respect
Best regards
Bjorn Elmart
 
The business website, Hellfire Forge, is no longer online. Looks like another guy who petered out and gave up, sad to say.

Sorry for your loss.
What was the agreed timeframe for completing the knife and when was the last time he responded? What did he say?
 
I am sure you realize this at this point but for others-paying up front is not a good idea.
This is not the 1st time this has happened with custom makers. They are the only ones I have ever had problems with, buying knives. They always seem to be there to take the money.

Thanks for the information. Sounds like the same type of excuses repeated over and over by alot of knifemakers that have endings like this. Sorry he screwed you over, very sad
 
Plus he also knew about my dads death. and that he died young because of hospital killed him. And and that he also was aware about the money legacy from my dad. Thats make it more cruel and evil of him to do something like this. To me.
