I purchased a knife 3 June 2008 from Norfleet from this thread:http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5667513#post5667513
He posted that six knives were available for sale and I purchased the last one of the six knives on 3 June. I paid by Paypal that day. I received an email from him shortly after asking me what type of sheath I wanted and that he would make the sheath and send both the knife and sheath when the sheath was completed . I did not hear from him after two weeks so I emailed him asking about the status of the sheath and knife. He replied with an email stating that he was waiting for the dye on the sheath to dry and the knife would ship in a couple of days. Since then it's been one stall after another. He has given me promises the knife will ship by certain dates or within a 2-3 days of my inquiries many times and each time, no knife. I have asked for a refund multiple times with no initial response then promises to refund my money but no action. He had some health problems and other issues that most of us patiently waited through and supported him through, but in light of his recent activity on the sale forum, I question a bit now.
Recently he started posting new knife sale threads which was the final straw for me. I again asked for my money back for this supposed completed blade that I paid for almost 5 months ago. He responded by sending a paypal e-check which DID NOT CLEAR. I received notification from paypal that the funds did not go through. I've tried to reach him by email since this latest twist and he has not replied to my email.
I would caution those who are considering buying from him to please read the thread above. It gives an idea of what you may have to deal with. He did finally send some knives out to some of the buyers but he has not sent mine.
He has been deceitful and lied to me and broken dozens of promises to deliver this knife.
