Does Jerry do a massive amount of direct business with him? All of those custom shop blades do not come from the secondary market. Does this make him a de-facto Busse Dealer?
I have wondered about his for a loooonng time.

They come from shows or he could order them trough the custom shop.
This guy is is slick and has used stand in buyers at knife lotteries and even stand in sellers!I wouldn't put it past him to slip an unknowing Fireman a twenty as a favor to get the Hinderer discount. The only way to avoid getting burnt by this guy is, know who you're dealing with!

Doea anyone know where this individual resides? Perhaps all that has gone on got lost in translation and he need it to be explained in person
I got no dog in this fight, but seems many have tried to talk to him to no avail. A horse trader is a horse trader. He's proud of what he does.
You could try to talk to him though, couldnt hurt. I hear he's often at body building shows, so finding him should be easy.
Edit part...removed poor joke....my apologies to the mods and participants.....I wasn't thinking properly and overstepped and missed on good taste and class. Hopefully this will get me back on track with my manners. Thank y'all.

Don't know the guy but was cruising fleabay and see that there are mx listings for knives from Liu Kang's Grail collection. Uses the seller name of tun-chun. The knives that are listed look like knockoffs but just my opinion. His prices seem too good to be true so buyer beware. Hope this info is helpful. Cheers

They are most certainly real. As far as his too good to be true prices he has listed in auction format which will end at a much higher price then you see now once the auction runs its course. Esp considering he likely has a shill buyer since anyone who knows better KNOWS Dan Huang would never allow the market to determine his knives prices in an honest fashion, NEVER.

Sounds like you need to educate yourself on knives just a little more
I feel that I am pretty educated on knives but know I can always learn more. It just seemed weird that he was offering what he called a custom hinderer with no reserve. In Reviewing the knife again I would agree that it probably is a real Hinderer but something about the auction just didn't seem right and that was how I felt prior to reading this thread.

+97. This guy needs as much bad press as he can get.
The Liu Kang Guide to HOG-like behavior:
- Try to circumvent Dealer status as long as possible.
- Sell a defective knife and immediately try to pass the responsibility onto the manufacturer.
- Sell knives to new members at ridiculous mark-ups.
- Regularly send lowball offers to try and increase your profit margin.
- Impel rule changes at BFC because of spam-like practices on the sale boards.
- Ask that members remove prices on knives you've bought to obscure your profit margin.
- Use Busse forum posts and signature line to drive up interest in sales.
- Use Busse forum as your own personal market data to send for-sale offers.
- Chime in on knives with over-the-top enthusiasm, but most particularly when you have those knives for sale.
- Post pictures of yourself in a Speedo.
- Use a shill account to purchase knives that would otherwise be inaccessible.
- Undercut/lowball a veteran trying to move some knives to meet basic needs.
- Eventually get banned from BFC.
- Continue to mine BFC for victims even after banning.

That's because he bamboozles newbs and talks them into thinking that he actually helped them acquire a special knife. If these people ever compare prices or has any issues with the knife, then they find out how they were played for suckers.
