Update 28/10/2017
Knife finally arrived after getting lost in transit.
Transaction completed.

Update 11/09/2017
Kosa finished my knife provided pictures to my satisfaction and a valid tracking number, just waiting for it to arrive. He has also agreed to never ask for money upfront again.
He did offer me a refund a few weeks ago as he was shutting his workshop down and selling equipment, turned out he actually had finished the blank and I told him I would prefer the knife then a refund and he finished the knife at home for me.

I will give another update once it arrives.


Like most stories here it starts with payment upfront for a custom order.(bad idea)

Ordered in December 2016, to be finished in Jan 2017. Discounting the late start he miss drilled the tang on the first attempt in Feb and needed to restart, since then its just been a long line of excuses. Warned him 3-4 weeks ago that I was sick of the shit and I needed it or a refund... I am now on the 8th or so "will have it done by tomorrow" the 4th in the last 2 weeks or so, knife has gone from finished and "just need to take pictures" to "I just need to glue the scales on". Steel for the knife changed from "its in the mail but slow" to "The supplier is still waiting for it to come in so they can post it". The changing stories just take the cake and destroy any confidence I have that I will ever receive the knife. Considering everything I believe I should have made this post far sooner.

I did actually search for bad feedback before I contacted him, however it turns out previous thread just used Kosa and not Kosa_pl and I missed it.
Apparent previous thread that is hard to make to much sense from but appears to be the same problem http://www.bladeforums.com/threads/this-was-not-the-first-one.1329771/#post-15266419

Obviously not very happy to have to make this post but at this point figure others need to be warned so they can decide if they wish to do business with Konrad(Kosa_PL) or not.

I had the same s..t with him 2 years ago,but when i told him (i had his adress!) i was going to call a friend who is in Polish Special Forces (GROM) and have him pay a visit things cleared up in a day!he is a B.S guy,fill'sone gap with the other and in a couple of words "he's not good to go!".stop buying from him and soon he will disappear.
 
Do you still have his address?(even if its old)
I don't want to send anyone around to threaten him, but in attempting to recover my money it will be helpful.

^ This reads like so many of your other atypical transactions you've been involved with here. With your self incriminating/documented M.O., it's beyond me, why anyone would want to do business with you.

i was gonna say "?huh?" to the polish special forces thing but decided it wasnt worth it. seems over the top and a bit ridiculous.
 
Ah, here we go again. Some time ago... probably two or three years... I tried to order a knife from him as well...
Took my money via PayPal and then... nothing. Didn't reply to mails or in forum messages for a week.
Finally just escalated things with PayPal. He came back to me with excuses like he had been sick etc.
He then came on here and raged how he will never again do business
 
The real thing is that from couple of months I had problems with myself.
First moving out of parents house because of psyhopathic brother, then health problems, and all of this layered into financial problems.
Now I looking for additional work , and going to be part time maker.
And I will no more make knives for order, as you see this can take me LONG time to do. (or someone have problem with weight reducing hole 1mm in other place- and knife could be done months ago)

vilePossum: Because I was sick that time... I'm only human.
 
I'm curious...with all the bad press this guy has received, why does he have a 21 0 0 rating?...

Cheers/bg
 
I don't know if your problems are real or just excuses, that's not because I'm not a trusting person, its directly due to how your handled the situation and inconsistent stories and promises.
You could have come out and said "I have experienced some unexpected financial problems and unable to complete your order at this time or provide a refund. I will refund or complete your order(your choice) as soon as circumstances permit. I am deeply sorry for this unacceptable situation and hope to resolve it quickly."
I would not have been happy but at least I would not wonder if your actually trying to cheat me and question your honesty, man the fuck up from the get go and don't give people the run around. You actually seem like a nice guy overall(from chatting on skype) but you conduct yourself in an unprofessional manner.

Good news is you have not as yet outright scammed anyone, you can repair your reputation and do better going forwards. I will gladly update this thread when the knife arrives to let everyone know you did honour the contract.
