I ordered a knife from this guy. He seems to do nice work. We agreed upon no down pmt as he did want one. No biggie, I planned to make good as I usually do. I send him out a MO upon completion. I always check within a few if it was recieved. Notta! No MO. I told him to give it a few more, if nothing I would send out another. I would then cancel the first from my end. He then accused me of not even sending one out. Made it sound like he is always the victim and bla bla bla. I was pretty ticked off and deleted the original post. I do have a few though that will put the whole deal together.
Still no money, do you still want this knife? If you have not mailed the money I would like it to be sent through PayPal ASAP. Use my email address above for the PayPal.

Hello Gilbert. That is the address I sent it to. I will mail out another PMT to you. I appologize for this. Sometimes the mail can be a pain.
Sincerely,

What do you mean according to my emails. I sent you out a money order for the total as promised by me. If you like to accuse people of things that are not true you will find it hard make new customers. I had to scrape that money together as the money I had set aside had to go to my medical bills. Oh, I feel SO sorry for you that you HAD to make a knife. It IS what you DO insn't it? Yes, you made it to my liking and made it without pmt. That is what you should DO! All other knife makers I have bought from never accept a down pmt and are very easy to get along with. I think maybe you need a vacation or just need to hang it up! Don't go accusing me of not wanting to take care of things on my end. I left you an email to call me and the times and #s to do so. I offered to pay on my CC but you chose to not answer me. You better get customer service figured out!

Gilbert.
Instead of taking a defensive stand toward me(possible future customer), you should have gone a different route. I do not take accusations lightly and have been known to step up to the plate blow for blow. I am a stand up guy who likes to make things right. The reason I ordered a knife from you is I loved the look and fit and finish in your pics. I have bought from Dozier, Wilson, Lozier, Chaxx Knives and CRK just to name a few. I have over 10 full customs and 5 semi-customs and have had no issues with any. I even have a couple that have been on order since the beginning of the year and have another year to go. I ALWAYS try and make it right. I offered to mail out another MO because I know this is how people make their living and wanted to be fair. I have never had this happen but trust the people I choose to do business with. I'll tell you what, you call me in an hour and I will give you a CC# you can run through PayPal. This will expidite the transaction. I just need a little time on the computer to log my bills and I am on dial-up. I also ask as a favor that you do act so harshly toward people. Give them a chance to make things work. This world is full of hate and mistrust as well as many other nasty things. Everyone can do their part to make this world better.
Thanks,
Michael Ellerman

Hello Gilbert. I have not heard anything from you since your reply to my email on the 19th. I paid via PayPal on the 12th, which was the same day and night of our correspondance back and fourth. It is now the evening of the 22nd and would have expected a knife buy now. I understand you were on vacation but you wanted me to make a decision before the 18th, and I did. I did recieve a transaction ID# from PayPal which is 2WN20400HJ7702436. I honestly think this is way to long of a wait for an immediate pmt. If the knife has not been sent out in time to recieve it within the next day or two, I would ask that you have PayPal credit my creditcard.
Thanks,
Michael Ellerman
I'm really not sure what this guy's problem is! He surely feels like a victim in life and makes sure every one knows it. When he sent me the inflamational email trying to make me feel guilty about making me a knife to my specs and so on, he really made it look as if he went out of his way by taking my order. I ordered a knife he already makes in a steel he uses. I haven't recieved a reply to the last two emails I sent him on the 20th and the 22nd. No knife yet as well. I think the guy needs a hug but it won't be from me. If a job or career of YOUR choice feels like your teeth are being ripped out on a daily basis, quit and move on.
I honestly do not think I would recommend this guy to anyone. He makes you feel guilty about the things that have happened to him in the past and for making a knife the way you want. AND, seems to blow you off after recieving pmt for the finished product.
Still no money, do you still want this knife? If you have not mailed the money I would like it to be sent through PayPal ASAP. Use my email address above for the PayPal.
