don't take this as a rant, i am seeking information to confirm if he has passed away. i had correspondence with him at the start of the year and sent out a us postal MO for five knives at around just short of $500. He was looking to send off the knives since most were in stock and would ship inside two weeks.. After months, i wrote him and he called saying it would only be a few weeks before they were ready. No knives, so i wrote again, and again, for updates. Never heard back, and now it has been some 6 months, and calls to any contact number are unanswered with what i believe now is his son on the answering machine etc. So as completely unrelated, I picked up a Microtech at the Ft. Laud gun show and then remembered to ask the knife dealer about him/my story, and he said he thinks he heard he had died from cancer some four months ago.
Does anyone know the status of this custom knife maker Newt Livesay?
(Nothwithstanding the loss of a man who contributed, and to his family and friends, but I suspect my funds which were definitively cashed are lost, and that I wont get any knives, ready or not, from his estate despite my obvious correspondence cleary indicating payment was made 100% agead and reflecting the items were ready to be shipped? sorry to be crass but it still is a lot of money for me.)
