I just made my first trade with Oupa.He is an amazing gentleman.I have never encountered someone who was more concerned that the person on the other end was going to come out ahead and not just concerned with getting what they want.The knives arrived and were in pristine
condition.If you ever have the opportunity to deal with Oupa you can have complete peace of mind.Dirk is truely a class act.
 
Never done any deals with Dirk, but we have emailed back and forth a few times and I have to agree, he is a great guy. If the opportunity arises I would not hesitate to do a transaction with Dirk.
 
Did a trade with Dirk a few months back, great guy, a man of integrity.He recently gave me a lesson in putting a edge on an Emerson I was having trouble with, worked like a charm. On of the good guys. In fact I made him an honorary "good ol boy"
 
Dirk is indeed a good man to deal with !!!!!!!! The 'old fart' does exactly what he says he will and more......... A top notch member. :D
 
I did a trade with Dirk last month and have nothing but the highest compliments for him. He follows the transaction from start to finish and fills the shipping time with some pretty fun emails.
I'll do business with him anytime.

Ditto. Hey did you ever get those clips yet!? If you don't let me know, I'll send them my $6 and ship 'em to ya:)
 
No clips yet.
I suspect that not many want to do business outside the USA anymore.
It is understandable, but frustrating.
People are not prepared to take the time to check one's credentials, so a blanket rule is put in place.
I really want an older solid stainless Spyperco Mariner for a project - and after a long search found one for sale/trade, but although I was prepared to give the online trader knives to the value of twice wat he wanted - no go.
When he realized that I was in Australia, his attatude changed in a flash.
It became "traded".
It is still there, a month later.
That's life.
I console myself with the fact that there are great people like yourselves in the knife community.

I have been involved in three trades with Dirk and he is truly a man of his word. About two Months ago I mailed him out a brand spankin new Benchmade clip and was promised by the USPS that it would arrive in three weeks or less.

Sorry Buddy, it looks like the clip never made the journey. I will look through my stuff and see if I have another. It is ALWAYS a pleasure to deal with you!!!!
