I hate to have my first post being a BAD Experience story rather than an introduction of a fellow knife collector. However, this is it.

I had ordered to have a custom knife made by Mr. Krymlin in April, and based on the posts on numerous sites I had assumed no wrongdoing and was willing to pay a "bargain" price on a custom.:grumpy:

At the beginning the communication between him and I was flowing like alcohol and a college party. I email and 10 minutes later he responds. What can you ask for you may say.

Well, as the time started to come closer to an approximate deadline, I had to email 2-3 email to get a single response without an actual update.
Furthermore, calling and speaking to him, at my expense, did not resolve anything also. As his latest email stated that my order was mailed to me, but the tracking # was miraculously forgotten, but will be email to me on the weekend. The weekend came and nothing, so again I get on a phone and get the same story, but now the excuse is that while checking the tracking # he couldn't locate my package online, and moreover, he had had bad experience with some shipments by Post Services before. So I ask for tracking # to be emailed and again nothing.

To add, I emailed the last email stating that if no tracking # is sent to me, I want a refund and will escalate the matter further. I have also left him a Voice Mail with similar words.

As per "other" member here in his latest post, PayPal has a 45 day limit to file a claim and so they can't help. Now, having paid through Credit Card there is a solution against such "people" as Mr. Krymlin and contacting your Credit Card company is the first step to start an investigation against the seller. And that I did:cool:

good luck to those that lost their money, or are waiting for the product, as I have lost all the hope.
 
I don't understand why people are still paying upfront for custom orders despite the dozens of warnings not to do so in this forum. In fact, I'm pretty sure its stickied, too...
 
I don't understand why customers are going to such great lengths to accommodate a maker with issues, whatever they may be. If you screwed up and sent some or all of the $ up front and are now not hearing from the maker or are being put off by excuses, then just demand your money back. It's really that simple. You don't have to be vicious about it; just be polite and firm, and be prepared to take additional steps if your money is not returned immediately.

So many good makers out there, makers who are thankful to have your business, thankful to be able to make knives for people who really appreciate the end product and who may become repeat customers or refer others to them, thankful that their creations put food on the table and clothes on their back. As soon as folks choose to no longer tolerate the BS by patronizing certain makers who have BS hard-wired as part of their genetic code, then those makers and their BS will either change their ways or go the way of the Dodo bird.
 
On the edge, you are right and I do hope that such "makers" think it over and change their ways.

I must admit that I am at fault also as I should have been more careful with my money. I've done numerous purchases and have never had problems.

You live and you learn. Plus looks like I actually found a custom knife maker thanks to this threads. Some good might come out of it after all.
 
Sorry to hear about the money issue...I have paid up front and never had a issue.. However i never dealt with this knifemaker

I posted a quick note


Wow people have nerve to keep posting while ignoring current customers and their money.

Ps. I'm not talking $100 bucks here either....

It shouldn't matter if it's $50 or $100 or $1,000. Either way, your hard earned money has been spent, and he has an obligation to fulfill his end of the deal.

I agree my earned $$$ is money.but seeing that he posts knives for sale instead of making things better is a little disconcerning to say the least.
All I got is time and the power of the internet
 
Ok..Has he contacted you about making this right ?? And if he has not made this right and now he posting new knives he should be banned
 
Paying up front is a bad idea. I had to learn this the hard way, but I hope others don't.
 
ruthless 750:But now the money back to you, right? I lost 5 packages (8 knives) for 2 months.It was a very bad two months.I can not say what happened. It's personal. Now I sell only finished knives.Is there at least one person who bought my knife and I have not sent it? Why not look my Feedback Score?

Wow, you so quick to reply, after you got notified that my Credit Card company filed against you a Chargeback.

I'd like all members on this board to know that the funds were not returned to me by mr. Krymlin but rather by my own CC company after I had filed a complaint and started investigation

You're a horrible business person

Why don't you post a picture of my Custom Knife the picture that any normal knife maker would take if they made it, prior to sending, just to make sure, plus you yourself mentioned that your packages have a tendency to disappear through mail.

I'd love to see a pic of the knife that I ordered
I'd love to see the tracking # as well



I might be different, but I'm a man of my word and take responsibility for my actions.
