Knives Emporium? Just bought 3 knives.

[Ken44]

I pretty well gathered all of that after I was basically told to go search for the information.

That's not all there is to the story as people can still go to this company, place an order and send them their money. Apparently you prefer not to discuss any of this so I'll save it for someone who wants to know and asks.

What more do you wish to discuss ?

And you weren't told to go search for the information. Karda gave you a direct link in the first post.
It would be a good idea to search this forum before you buy though.


I've been here for a while, and I had never even heard of these people. The first I heard of them is when they ran the fake give-away. I know it seems like we don't know much about them, but we don't.

.....these folks were banned, the info was here if you chose to look, you didn't... you almost got screwed, but you didn't.

A moderator told you to contact paypal and get your $$ back. I for one would simply say "thank you" to him and be on my way... BUT...
You seem to still be a bit upset that this forum did not protect you from these evil knife sellers. you got you money back, and since you can't yell at them, you are gonna squawk about the forum members... keep talking and let me know how that works out.

Read the posts. I don't want to discuss anything anymore. I wanted to know if anyone knew if the company was in business but the whole thing is over with now. I just keep getting these responses that I should have searched, It's not the forums fault, I shouldn't be angry, blah blah blah. Here's how it went;

I asked- Can anyone tell me what the deal is with Knives Emporium? I just bought and paid for 3 auto knives from them last week, now I can't get any kind of a response from them and haven't seen the knives in 10 days. Are they still in business or what?

Karda respoded- Always a good idea to do a search in the Feedback forum before purchasing from places that are not paid dealers of this forum:

Then I responded- Okay I see they apparently ran scam contest. I wish I had known that before I sent them $400 via paypal but I didn't. Now I'd like to know if anyone knows if they are still in business or out of business?

Benchwarmer responded- They were once a paid dealer here. Now they are not. Use the search engine and a certain debacle should pop up. It's a fair insight to that company's character.

Sorry about your knives I hope they eventually come in. I think in Tech Support (or somewhere) there is a list of paying BladeForums dealers. You shouldn't have a problem with any of them.

Then me- Okay I see they apparently ran scam contest. I wish I had known that before I sent them $400 via paypal but I didn't. Now I'd like to know if anyone knows if they are still in business or out of business?


Then RevDevil responded- Not to be offensive or insensitive, but we don't know if they are in business nor do we care. They left a pretty bad stain on their "reputation" and a bitter taste in the mouthes of many. If you are concerned, contact Paypal and take the necessary steps and get your money returned to you. Aside from that, we can't do much here to help things out, everything has been covered in the threads above. Shopping around and researching sellers is always the best way to avoid problematic transactions. Companies that are run in the manner in which this one was or is, speaks volumes of why researching is important.

Then me- Thanks RevDevil! I don't find your post offensive or insensitive. All I know is after making the purchase and not receiving the knives when they said I should, I did start to research and this forum seemed to have the only info on the web I could find. So the chances of someone here knowing something seemed to be better than anywhere else. I'm not asking for anyone to help, I'm just asking for information.

It seems like since your forum were the ones that had them as a sponsor and outed them in their deception you would care whether they were in business or not. That's just my humble opinion.

I was told to search and was provided some links. I searched the forum before I asked the question and didn't find the answer. Just because a few people on the forum who answered didn't know the answer to my question doesn't mean no one does. Some times it just takes a while for the right person to see the post/question before they answer. As far as I'm concerned the subject is over unless someone says they'd like to know more. The End

Total BS. Try reading and you will find I'm not upset and I didn't expect anything from the forum other than to know if anyone knew whether or not the company was still in business if someone might happen to know. Apparently this is a bad time of the month for you and drama is pretty tough to avoid. Hope you don't have any cramping to go with that! Have a good night.
