so... for anyone in the washington area i wanted to give you guys a heads up to stay away from a company called hydroslice, www.hydroslice.com
i bought a para a little bit ago but wanted to get some custom g10 scales cut for it. I met up with the guy and he seemed like a decent person. i told him what i wanted and i gave him the knife so he could use it for dimensions and such.
he quoted me 5 days he said he'd give me a call. a week passes by so i called the number on their website and a lady answers the phone "hello?". as if it was a home number or personal cell, which i have no problem with. i asked if i could leave a message for the guy and she was extremely rude. i couldnt believe how anyone could give their business phone line to someone like this.
she said she'd give him the message and he'd call me back two days pass and no call so i called again on the third day and it was the same girl who was just as rude on the phone as before. she said shed pass the message along again. but no call.
the next day i called 3 times throughout the day and left voicemails on the line. and finally i called with another phone number and what do you know... "hi this is xxx with hydroslice." he said he had been trying to get a hold of me and left voicemails on saturday and friday... rrrrrrrrrrright. kind of makes me think he is avoiding my calls for some reason.
the kicker is he said the knife did not come with g10 scales from the factory and that it was plastic. at this point if sal from spyderco said the para came with scales made from unicorn horns id be more inclined to believe that over anything anyone from hydroslice says... so im really curious to see if he is trying to swap some plasic scales on the knife and think i wont notice... we shall see come tomorrow afternoon. anyways... if anyone would like more information about them just let me know. id just say stay away from people like this.
