Larry Harley- Lonesome Pine Knives

Hello Larry,

Your message finally reached my email. I'll do my best to call you on the 16th.

Regards
Robert
 
I can't believe my stupidity! I ordered a battle bowie some time ago and did actually receive it. I was showing one of my mates, who was thinking of getting one, and he noticed the grind was all wrong. I looked in disbelief and he was right! I contacted Larry and he was shocked also.
After some deliberation I decided to order another one. Larry assured me this one would be fine, no prob's! I sent the money and no knife.
Here I am now, on this forum, trying to make sense of what few emails I did receive about the promise of a perfect battle bowie. I have still got all the correspondance and reflect on them at times to remind me of what an idiot I was to get my hopes up

who are you and what do i owe you

ch46 and Bridlebutcher, being one of the "lucky" ones that's paid for and supposed to have somewhat "priority". It has been several, 3 or more years and I am still waiting for my BATTLE BOWIE. It's bad that misfortune and illness has befallen upon him, but many times family and other knifemaker(if able) step up to assist. Still waiting!

Quarterhorse who are u and do i owe u a knife??
 
Well since I said baad things, I should report what is going right.

As you may have read, I gave up on getting my knife back several years ago. Out of the blue last week I got an email from Larry Harley. He said my knife was ready to return. So today I received my repaired knife. Actually since I don't think the first one could be adjusted properly, I think this is a new knife. It is up to the standards of his old work. A very nice knife indeed. So I want to publicly say thanks.

Howdy Robert. I've been corresponding with Mr. Harley recently ref. receiving a Battle Bowie owed to me. Should receive it soon.
I'm extremely pleased that he is able to make it out to his shop and get some work done. I know it is extremely difficult with his ongoing medical condition.
That he is using what energy he can summon to make things right says alot for the man, IMO.
 
I received a Battle Bowie from Mr. Harley yesterday. Top notch work.
It pleases me that Larry is working on getting square with folks. It has to be hell for him in the shop with his breathing issues.
I'll buy another BB for my son soon. He's also offering a interesting skinner.
God Bless him.

Maybe nobody noticed but businesses are filing for bankruptcy every single day in this economy. Larry could have just closed the shop and said forget about it. Instead he is hammering as much as he can and probably will till the day he dies.
I went back and read it again. Look at the part where Larry says "I took money I shouldn't have". Sorry he had or has cancer, but a thief is a thief. He may be your BFF Bubbanumber, but he's still not an honorable man.

hey ty please call me a thief if we ever see each other .PLEASE!!!

Went back and read it as you suggested.
It appears the "man" as you call him admits to being a theif in the first sentance of this EXCUSE.
So he took money to keep his piss-poor business from going under all the while not having any real expectations of delivering products to the folks he was "taking" money from.
The way this reads to me:
I stole money from folks to save my ass.
I like to bitch and complain about my personal problems.
I stole more money from folks and now owe them a "free" knife.
More bitching about personal problems.
This whole post from your friend was not an apology or public intent to do the right thing, it was more of a pitty party aimed at getting more people to fall for his BS.
You keep calling him a man... A man, a REAL man would own up to what he has done here and sell his house and all his tools to payback all the fine folks he has stolen from.

i am a MAN. wish u could walk in my shoes... i,ll bet they would be way too big and painful
u r invited to spit in my face too and well go from there!

In all fairness, I think it's an older video. The guy posted that video in Sept. 2009, so it's probably somewhat older than that. It's not current, is what I'm saying. I still think he's a crook, though.

yep lee if we ever meet call me a scammer face to face u spineless sphincter

That's pretty much how I read it, too. He's a thief, plain and simple.

You can say "hi" to me any time at a show, Bubba, so can Larry. Last time I saw him at Blade he just gave me stinkeye from across the room.

Best Regards,

steve dont flatter yourself i dont remember know u from Adam

The guy is a crook.. straight up.


please see me at the blade show so we can continue this conversation!!!!

You know I could almost understand the "I got behind on stuff because of health problems" bit.

I can't understand the "I continue to take orders because I have health problems" bit at all.
can u understand this
i did the chemo then had an operation every yr for the next 4 yrs and they all had months of complications .After every one i thought id get to go back to work soon after plus much more that i dont want to get into here.

i have missed a few of u this got long fast so last but not least i wanna thank mike snotty(Snoddy) for being such a boosteranjd piler on so up yours snoddy

i really wish i could insult u bunch of pack mentality pricks to confront me the next time u know i,m on the same piece of realistate as u , but my guess is u are all ball less

I'm going to get the last word in this thread for a few reasons. First, because I think it's gone far enough and to cut it off before more unfortunate things are said.
For those reasons alone, I think we can call it a day.

(If anyone needs to address Larry Harley and his knives or orders they can open a new thread. However, let's try to keep it from repeating what has happened here.)

In years past I've had the pleasure of meeting Larry and even drinking some 'shine with him that he brought to the Blade Show. We haven't kept up and mostly I've just been in touch with him to admonish him over one or another of the forum rules that weren't adhered to. (No blood spilled over it on either side.)

I also know (from the forums) some of the other good people involved in this thread...members, moderators etc. Good folks, all of them.

I haven't kept up with this thread nor was I aware of what Larry has recently gone through. I say let's put the ugliness aside and move forward with respect in both directions.

Anyone feeling the need to can feel free to address me directly via email or PM.
