Koster?

I'll admit I haven't been active here recently. Other hobbies have taken precedence over my blades. Just the other day I got an invoice for a final payment on a Koster Bushmaster. I quite frankly forgot all about it since (referencing my original email which I dug up) the order was placed back in mid-2014.

So just out of curiosity, I figured I'd come here and check the Koster forum and see what other folks were posting. However, there doesn't seem to be a Koster forum (or I've overlooked it).

Can anyone help me out with info on where I might find it or information about recent going-ons?

I apologize if this is a sensitive forum subject. I'm truly not trolling here. Just looking for info. I can only speculate that when you take over 3 years to deliver knives, your forum may turn into something of a b!+ch-fest and perhaps Dan asked for it to be closed??

Thanks in advance.
 
I have had one for 4 or 5 years. It's a fine knife. Great all around, good ergonomics. Whatever problems he has had isn't in the Bushmaster knife I have. In fact I have an extra around here somewhere I bought but haven't needed. Good luck and enjoy your knife.

I remember reading many of his customers having communication issues.
Lots of people waiting a looooooong time for their knives.
If I were you, I probably wouldn't send him a dime until I got in touch with him.
Hopefully you didn't give him most of the cost.
Good luck.

I was out of the loop as well but luckily for me I received my bushmaster and bushcraft knives within a reasonable timeframe and I must say the knives are very nice indeed. From what I gather Koster took to many preorders and failed to deliver within quoted time, then failed to address the concerns people started to have. Looks like you knife is ready (I would confirm that with Koster before transferring funds).
 
I had to file a complaint with the Arkansas BBB to get a refund. He kept $75 as a 'deposit' despite the years of waiting with no knife produced. He then sent the refund through PayPal as Goods & Services so I got docked the PayPal fees. Kind of like being 'thrown clear' in an accident. I got banged up a little, but I still walked away. Never again.
